Specific DNA recognition by the Antp homeodomain: MD simulations of specific and nonspecific complexes.
Proteins - 1 Dec 2004
Gutmanas Aleksandras, Billeter Martin
Abstract excerpt
Four molecular dynamics simulation trajectories of complexes between the wild-type or a mutant Antennapedia homeodomain and 2 DNA sequences were generated in order to probe the mechanisms governing the specificity of DNA recognition. The starting point was published affinity measurements showing that a single protein mutation combined with a replacement of 2 base pairs yields a new high-affinity complex, whereas...
