Abstract excerpt
We apply Constraint Network Analysis (CNA) to investigate the relationship between structural rigidity and thermostability of five citrate synthase (CS) structures over a temperature range from 37 °C to 100 °C. For the first time, we introduce an ensemble-based variant of CNA and model the temperature-dependence of hydrophobic interactions in the constraint network. A very good correlation between the predicted...
