FEBS Journal Minireview Series
Dynamic interactions of proteins in complex networks
Volume 276 (19) October, 2009

Free at http://www.febsjournal.org/

Recent advances in techniques such as NMR and EPR spectroscopy have enabled the elucidation of how proteins undergo structural changes to act in concert in complex networks.

The three minireviews in this series highlight current findings and the capabilities of new methodologies for unraveling the dynamic changes controlling diverse cellular functions. They represent a sampling of the cutting-edge research presented at the 17th Meeting of Methods in Protein Structure Analysis, MPSA2008, in Sapporo, Japan, 26–29 August, 2008 (http://www.iapsap.bnl.gov).

• Ettore Appella, Carl W. Anderson, Dynamic interactions of proteins in complex networks (Introduction), p 5380-5380.
• Devin E. Christensen, Rachel E. Klevit, Dynamic interactions of proteins in complex networks: identifying the complete set of interacting E2s for functional investigation of E3-dependent protein ubiquitination, p 5381-5389.
• Amelie Stein, Roland A. Pache, Pau Bernadó, Miquel Pons, Patrick Aloy, Dynamic interactions of proteins in complex networks: a more structured view, p 5390-5405.
• P. Tompa, Structural disorder in amyloid fibrils: its implication in dynamic interactions of proteins, p 5406-5415.
