Abstract excerpt
Loop flexibility is discussed as a factor that affects ligand binding affinity of SH3 domains. To test this hypothesis, we designed a mutant in which a proline in the RT-loop of the human Lck SH3-domain is replaced by glycine. The dynamics and ligand binding properties of wild-type and mutant LckSH3 were studied by fluorescence and NMR spectroscopy as well as molecular dynamics simulations. Although the mutated...
