Title Rotamer strain as a determinant of protein structural specificity.

Abstract
We present direct evidence for a change in protein structural specificity due to hydrophobic core packing. High resolution structural analysis of a designed core variant of ubiquitin reveals that the protein is in slow exchange between two conformations. Examination of side-chain rotamers indicates that this dynamic response and the lower stability of the protein are coupled to greater strain and mobility in the core. The results suggest that manipulating the level of side-chain strain may be one way of fine tuning the stability and specificity of proteins.

Full text Abstract
Figure 1.
Figure 1. Structures of 1D7 versus WT. (a) Stereoview of an ensemble of the 20 lowest energy structures of 1D7. Sidechains of core residues are displayed in green and the N and C termini are labeled. (b) Superposition of the structure of 1D7 closest to the mean (blue) with the crystal structure (red; accession code 1UBI [15]) the coordinates of which were used for the design. (c) Residual dipolar NH couplings of partially oriented 1D7 (y axis) versus WT ubiquitin (x axis) in DMPC:DHPC bicelles [16]. WT dipolar couplings were taken from Cornilescu et al. [25]. The difference in the range of dipolar couplings between the two samples is due to differences in bicelle content.
