Global dynamics of proteins: bridging between structure and function

I Bahar, TR Lezon, LW Yang… - Annual review of …, 2010 - annualreviews.org
Biomolecular systems possess unique, structure-encoded dynamic properties that underlie
their biological functions. Recent studies indicate that these dynamic properties are …

Normal mode analysis of biomolecular structures: functional mechanisms of membrane proteins

I Bahar, TR Lezon, A Bakan, IH Shrivastava - Chemical reviews, 2010 - ACS Publications
A polymer chain of N atoms enjoys 3N-6 internal degrees of freedom, which gives rise to
infinitely many conformations. Even a simple model of N) 100 atoms where bond lengths and …

Dual role of mitochondria in producing melatonin and driving GPCR signaling to block cytochrome c release

…, ES Kretz, G Di Benedetto, TR Lezon… - Proceedings of the …, 2017 - National Acad Sciences
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are classically characterized as cell-surface receptors
transmitting extracellular signals into cells. Here we show that central components of a …

Using the principle of entropy maximization to infer genetic interaction networks from gene expression patterns

TR Lezon, JR Banavar, M Cieplak… - Proceedings of the …, 2006 - National Acad Sciences
We describe a method based on the principle of entropy maximization to identify the gene
interaction network with the highest probability of giving rise to experimentally observed …

AH Gough, N Chen, TY Shun, TR Lezon, RC Boltz… - PloS one, 2014 - journals.plos.org
One of the greatest challenges in biomedical research, drug discovery and diagnostics is
understanding how seemingly identical cells can respond differently to perturbagens including …

[PDF][PDF] Constraints imposed by the membrane selectively guide the alternating access dynamics of the glutamate transporter GltPh

TR Lezon, I Bahar - Biophysical journal, 2012 - cell.com
Substrate transport in sodium-coupled amino acid symporters involves a large-scale
conformational change that shifts the access to the substrate-binding site from one side of the …
