Abstract:
In this minireview we discuss the role of the more subtle conformational change-protein conformational sampling and connect it to the classic relationship of protein structure and function. The theory of pre-existing functional states of protein are discussed in context of alternate protein conformational sampling. Last, we discuss how temperature, ligand binding and mutations affect the protein conformational sampling mode which is linked to the protein function regulation. The review includes several protein systems that showed temperature dependent protein conformational sampling. We also specifically included two enzyme systems, thermophilic alcohol dehydrogenase (ht-ADH) and thermolysin which we previously studied when discussing temperature dependent protein conformational sampling.
