Resumen

El trastorno intrínseco y la flexibilidad de las proteínas desafían los paradigmas estructura-función tradicionales. Este estudio revela que las proteínas globulares fundidas como NCBD utilizan el plegamiento cuesta abajo y la flexibilidad conformacional para la unión de socios amplios, desafiando los modelos de plegamiento de proteínas establecidos.

Protein Folding

Proteins are chains of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds. Upon synthesis, a protein folds into a three-dimensional conformation, critical to its biological function. Interactions between its constituent amino acids guide protein folding, and hence the protein structure is primarily dependent on its amino acid sequence.

Molecular Chaperones and Protein Folding

The native conformation of a protein is formed by interactions between the side chains of its constituent amino acids. When the amino acids cannot form these interactions, the protein cannot fold by itself and needs chaperones. Notably, chaperones do not relay any additional information required for the folding of polypeptides; the native conformation of a protein is determined solely by its amino acid sequence. Chaperones catalyze protein folding without being a part of the folded protein.
