Abstract excerpt
Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were carried out to compare the free and bound structures of wild type U1A protein with several Phe56 mutant U1A proteins that bind the target stem loop 2 (SL2) RNA with a range of affinities. The simulations indicate the free U1A protein is more flexible than the U1A-RNA complex for both wild type and Phe56 mutant systems. A complete analysis of the hydrogen-bonding (HB) and...
