(7TMs, Lysine at a similar position to bind retinal……) The authors would do better if they supply a cartoon that explain their model (I mean their evolutionary model) and discuss why their suggestion is better than simply say it is just a convergent evolution of the sodium binding site.
It occurs when the number of runs and the number of cycles defined as parameter to the algorithm are not enough to find a good position to bind the ligand into the receptor.
This may be explained by the observation that the catalytic domain of the exonuclease is tethered via a flexible linker to the polymerase (Ozawa et al, 2008) and may therefore not be always in a suitable position to bind the 3′ end of the DNA.
These helical movements bring D6.50, E6.53 and S6.54 to the correct position to bind Na+ and move K16.50 away from the binding site (Supplementary Fig. 7a).
If the movement were larger, we can identify no weak attachments that would be in a position to quickly bind the target zone.
Talking about your good fortune to people who are going through difficulties and/or not in a position to have similar experiences is bound to invite envy.
The AFF4-P-TEFb crystal structure provides a simple and unsuspected explanation—Tat binds in a position to make direct contacts with the scaffold.
Based on homology modeling studies, ANF is positioned to bind to a hydrophobic cavity next to the active site where it may cause a direct effect on substrate binding.
The promise of "never again" binds anyone in a position to help end a genocide.
Deals like Gemalto's are increasing the European visibility of private equity firms, particularly in France, where government officials seem to intervene regularly in business decisions, and union leaders are often in positions to bind the hands of executives.
