The Free Energy Profile of Tubulin Straight-Bent Conformational Changes, with Implications for Microtubule Assembly and Drug Discovery
2014
PLoS Computational Biology
Preserved Fulltext
ab-tubulin dimers need to convert between a 'bent' conformation observed for free dimers in solution and a 'straight' conformation required for incorporation into the microtubule lattice. ...
Here, we investigate the free energy landscape of abtubulin using molecular dynamics simulations, emphasizing implications for models of assembly, and modulation of the conformational landscape by colchicine ...
Acknowledgments Supercomputing resources from NSF XSEDE (at the Texas Advanced Computer Center) and the UCSF QB3 cluster were used for the simulations. ...
