The artificial intelligence program AlphaFold 2 is revolutionizing the field of protein structure determination as it accurately predicts the 3D structure of two thirds of the human proteome. Its predictions can be used directly as structural models or indirectly as aids for experimental structure determination using X-ray crystallography, CryoEM or NMR spectroscopy. Nevertheless, AlphaFold 2 can neither afford insight into how proteins fold, nor can it determine protein stability or dynamics....

Challenges and approaches to understand cholesterol-binding impact on membrane protein function: an NMR view.
Cell Mol Life Sci. 2018 Mar 08;:
Authors: Jaipuria G, Ukmar-Godec T, Zweckstetter M
Abstract
Experimental evidence for a direct role of lipids in determining the structure, dynamics, and function of membrane proteins leads to the term 'functional lipids'. In particular, the sterol molecule cholesterol modulates...

Q Rev Biophys. 2016 Jan;49:e6
Authors: Kovermann M, Rogne P, Wolf-Watz M
Abstract
It is well-established that dynamics are central to protein function; their importance is implicitly acknowledged in the principles of the Monod, Wyman and Changeux model of binding cooperativity, which was originally proposed in 1965. Nowadays the concept of protein dynamics is formulated in terms...

Outer surface protein A (OspA) is a crucial protein in the infection of Borrelia burgdorferi causing Lyme disease. We studied conformational fluctuations of OspA with high-pressure 15N/1H two-dimensional NMR along with high-pressure fluorescence spectroscopy. We found evidence within folded, native OspA for rapid local fluctuations of the...
