Abstract
In the original language
Recently, two independent 15N NMR relaxation studies indicated that in contrast to the decreased flexibility expected for induced-fit interactions, the backbone flexibility of major urinary protein isoform I (MUP-I) slightly increased upon complex formation with its natural pheromone 2-sec-butyl-4,5-dihydrothiazol. We have investigated the subtle details of molecular interactions by molecular dynamics simulations in explicit solvent. The calculated order parameters S2 for a free- and ligand-bound protein supply evidence that mobility in various regions of MUP-I can be directly related to small conformational changes of the free- and complexed protein resulting from modifications of the hydrogen bonding network.
