Revealing Cooperation between Knotted Conformation and Dimerization in Protein Stabilization by Molecular Dynamics Simulations by Yan Xu (14594)

“…In addition to the knotted conformation, dimerization further improves the protein stability by restricting the α1−α5 separation, which is defined as a leading step for protein unfolding. These results provide important insights into the structure–function relationship of dimerization in knotted proteins.…”
