Abstract
To most physicists, it was always evident that conformational fluctuation is an inherent property of all molecules. Its existence in proteins was mentioned first by Linderström-Lang and Schellman in 1959 based on their hydrogen-deuterium exchange experiments. The "induced fit" mechanism to explain ligand-induced conformational changes was suggested by Koshland in 1958. Straub combined these two concepts in his "fluctuation fit" theory in 1964. The era of protein X-ray crystallography imposed a static view of protein structures. With proteins becoming accessible to NMR analysis, conformational dynamics could be mapped, and a new wave of dynamic interpretation of enzymatic catalysis and molecular recognition appeared. Energy landscapes, energy funnels, conformational selection, conformational distribution shifts are now frequent terms in interpreting biomolecular recognition and enzymatic catalysis. All these interpretations are based on the concept that evolution uses the conformational fluctuations of enzymes to develop efficient and dynamic catalytic machines. In a resurrection of the original "fluctuation fit" concept, it is generally recognized now that spatial and temporal events of catalysis are equally important to describe its mechanism. This special issue, dedicated to the memory of Henryk Eisenberg, prompted us to look back at the last 50 years of development of a concept that-like other important concepts-appeared, evolved and became accepted during the period covered by the scientific lifespan of Henryk. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

NMR post-doc position: NMR-based dynamics study of enzyme mechanism The following post-doc position in NMR is available in University of Missouri: Ad text: """ We have an opening for a postdoctoral fellow to use NMR to study dynamics of an enzyme while it is carrying on reversible catalysis. The prospects are promising and can be compared with thorough enzymology and crystallography of its ligand-dependent conformational changes (done in our dept.). The enzyme is sizeable enough to be challenging, but we have a battery of excellent 800 MHz spectra of deuterated samples for launching the project. The postdoctoral fellow will be housed in a new...	administrator	Job marketplace	0	07-14-2007 03:55 AM
