Relative Mobility of Human Transferrin Domains Accounts for Its Efficient Recognition and Recycling
Haleh Abdizadeh, Ali Rana Atilgan, Canan Atilgan
Human serum transferrin (hTf) transports ferric ions in the blood stream and inflamed mucosal surfaces with high affinity and delivers them to cells via receptor mediated endocytos…
Protonation States of Remote Residues Affect Binding-Release Dynamics of the Ligand but not the Conformation of apo Ferric Binding Protein
Gokce Guven, Ali Rana Atilgan, Canan Atilgan
We have studied the apo (Fe3+ free) form of periplasmic ferric binding protein (FbpA) under different conditions and we have monitored the changes in the binding and release dynami…
On modifying properties of polymeric melts by nanoscopic particles
Canan Atilgan, Ibrahim Inanc, Ali Rana Atilgan
We study geometric and energetic factors that partake in modifying properties of polymeric melts via inserting well-dispersed nanoscopic particles (NP). Model systems are polybutad…
Subtle pH differences trigger single residue motions for moderating conformations of calmodulin
Ali Rana Atilgan, Ayse Ozlem Aykut, Canan Atilgan
This study reveals the essence of ligand recognition mechanisms by which calmodulin (CaM) controls a variety of Ca2+ signaling processes. We study eight forms of calcium-loaded CaM…
Assortative Mixing in Close-Packed Spatial Networks
Deniz Turgut, Ali Rana Atilgan, Canan Atilgan
A general relation for the dependence of nearest neighbor degree correlations on degree is derived. Dependence of local clustering on degree is shown to be the sole determining fac…
Manipulation of conformational change in proteins by single residue perturbations
C Atilgan, Z N Gerek, S B Ozkan +1
Using the perturbation-response scanning (PRS) technique, we study a set of 23 proteins that display a variety of conformational motions upon ligand binding (e.g. shear, hinge, all…
