Abstract excerpt
Induced fit has been postulated to be an important component of ligand interactions with proteins, including protein-DNA interactions. We imagined that the entropic cost of induced fit might be highly dependent on the local protein sequence context around critical contact residues. To investigate this question, we analyzed the basis for active or inactive phenotypes found in a library of combinatorial sequence...
