Can proteins bind based only on their shapes?
A team using the nation’s fastest supercomputer to look at protein binding finds that some binding processes are simpler than expected
03-Nov-2021 -
Proteins bind to one another through a complex mix of chemical interactions. What if some proteins bind due to their shapes, a much simpler process? To answer this question, researchers used Summit, the nation’s fastest supercomputer, to model lock-and-key interactions. In these interactions, ...
