On the ion selectivity in Ca-binding proteins: the cyclo(-L-Pro-Gly-)3 peptide as a model.

Sussman, F, Weinstein, H

Calcium plays a crucial role in many cellular processes. Its functions are directly dependent on the high specificity for Ca2+ exhibited by the proteins and ion carriers that bind divalent ions. To...

Toward computer-aided site-directed mutagenesis of enzymes.

Warshel, A, Sussman, F

A preliminary attempt to simulate the observed effect of a site-directed mutagenesis of rat trypsin gives encouraging results. The calculations reproduce in a semiquantitative way the observed change...

Conformational instability of the N- and C-terminal lobes of porcine pepsin in neutral and alkaline solutions.

Lin, X., Loy, J. A., Sussman, F., Tang, J.

Pepsin contains, in a single chain, two conformationally homologous lobes that are thought to have been evolutionarily derived by gene duplication and fusion. We have demonstrated that the individual...

Solvent accessibility as a predictive tool for the free energy of inhibitor binding to the HIV-1 protease.

Nauchitel, V., Villaverde, M. C., Sussman, F.

We have developed a simple approach for the evaluation of the free energies of inhibitor binding to the protease of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1 PR). Our algorithm is based on the...

Solvation effects are responsible for the reduced inhibitor affinity of some HIV-1 PR mutants.

Sussman, F., Villaverde, M. C., Davis, A.

The formulation of HIV-1 PR inhibitors as anti-viral drugs has been hindered by the appearance of protease strains that present drug resistance to these compounds. The mechanism by which the HIV-1 PR...
