Abstract excerpt
PR65 is the two-layered (alpha-alpha solenoid) HEAT-repeat (Huntingtin, elongation factor 3, a subunit of protein phosphatase 2A, PI3 kinase target of rapamycin 1) scaffold of protein phosphatase PP2A. Molecular dynamics simulations predict that, at forces expected in living systems, PR65 undergoes (visco-)elastic deformations in response to pulling/pushing on its ends. At lower forces, smooth global flexural and...
