The genetic architecture of an allosteric hormone receptor
Many proteins function as switches, detecting chemicals and transducing their concentrations into cellular responses. Receptor switches are key to the integration of environmental signals, yet it is n...

TF-MAPS: fast high-resolution functional and allosteric mapping of DNA-binding proteins by @XianghuaLi2

Are Transcription Factors really 'undruggable'?

TF-MAPS: fast high-resolution functional and allosteric mapping of DNA-binding proteins
Transcription factors (TFs) bind specific DNA sequences to control gene expression. Modulating TF activity is of considerable therapeutic interest but very few TFs have been successfully drugged. TF D...

🎲 Our paper on the genetics, energetics, and allostery in proteins with randomized cores and surfaces is out today @science.org!
🧬 By charting a protein’s sequence universe, we could rationalize which versions were kept through evolution – and why many stable ones were not.
