Structure, substrate recognition and reactivity of Tanja Sgraja, Terry K Smith, William N Hunter BMC Structural Biology 2007, 7:20 (30 March 2007) Leishmania mevalonate kinase has a conserved substrate binding site but a distinct co-factor binding site conformation, which could aid in finding therapeutic targets.

Mechanisms for stabilisation and the maintenance of solubility in proteins from thermophiles Richard B Greaves, Jim Warwicker BMC Structural Biology 2007, 7:18 (29 March 2007) Hyperthermophilic proteins have more charged groups and less burial of aromatic side chains than related proteins in organisms that grow at lower temperatures, which may prevent aggregation and stabilise the proteins.

On the origin of the histone fold Vikram Alva, Moritz Ammelburg, Johannes Söding, Andrei N Lupas BMC Structural Biology 2007, 7:17 (28 March 2007) A helix-strand-helix motif that probably gave rise to a domain in both Hsp100 and AAA+ proteins was further adapted by 3D domain-swapping to result in the unique histone fold.

Olgun Guvench, Cheng-Kui Qu, Alexander D MacKerell BMC Structural Biology 2007, 7:14 (22 March 2007) A tyrosine residue of SHP-2, a tyrosine phosphatase, regulates conformational change in the protein's phosphotyrosine-peptide binding cleft in molecular dynamics simulations, which may pinpoint how mutations in the SHP-2 gene lead to leukemia.
