    De novo macrocyclic peptides dissect energy coupling of a heterodimeric ABC transporter by multimode allosteric inhibition

    Erich Stefan, Richard Obexer ... Robert Tampé
    By random nonstandard peptide integrated discovery, combinatorial macrocyclic peptides were leavaged that target a heterodimeric ABC transport complex and explore fundamental principles of the substrate translocation cycle.

    Robust and accurate prediction of residue–residue interactions across protein interfaces using evolutionary information

    Sergey Ovchinnikov, Hetunandan Kamisetty, David Baker
    Co-evolving residue pairs in the different components of a protein complex almost always make contact across the protein–protein interface, thus providing powerful restraints for the modeling of protein complexes.

    First-principles model of optimal translation factors stoichiometry

    Jean-Benoît Lalanne, Gene-Wei Li
    A parsimonious biophysical model correctly predicts the conserved expression stoichiometry of core bacterial mRNA translation factors, providing intuitive and quantitative design principles for in vivo pathway construction.

    pH-dependent 11° F1FO ATP synthase sub-steps reveal insight into the FO torque generating mechanism

    Seiga Yanagisawa, Wayne D Frasch
    Single-molecule F1FO studies show mutation-dependent pKa changes of both FO half-channels, and proton translocation-dependent 11° ATP synthase-direction sub-steps, which support a Grotthuss proton transfer-dependent two-step FO torque generating mechanism.

    Functional roles of Mg2+ binding sites in ion-dependent gating of a Mg2+ channel, MgtE, revealed by solution NMR

    Tatsuro Maruyama, Shunsuke Imai ... Masanori Osawa
    Nuclear magnetic resonance analysis revealed the structural and dynamical changes in MgtE during the channel closure caused by the cooperative Mg2+-binding, which had remained undescribed only by a static crystal structure.
