Coupled Folding and Specific Binding: Fishing for Amphiphilicity

Coupled Folding and Specific Binding: Fishing for Amphiphilicity

Proteins are uniquely capable of identifying targets with unparalleled selectivity, but, in addition to the precision of the binding phenomenon, nature has the ability to find its targets exceptionally quickly. Transcription factors for instance can bind to a specific sequence of nucleic acids from...
