Stiffness of the distal loop restricts the structural heterogeneity of the transition state ensemble in SH3 domains.

Klimov D K, Thirumalai D
Abstract excerpt
Protein engineering experiments and Phi(F)-value analysis of SH3 domains reveal that their transition state ensemble (TSE) is conformationally restricted, i.e. the fluctuations in the transition state (TS) structures are small. In the TS of src SH3 and alpha-spectrin SH3 the distal loop and the associated hairpin are fully structured, while the rest of the protein is relatively disordered. If native structure...
