DOI: 10.1002/bies.70082
Abstract: The allosteric mechanism of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) involves a population shift from inactive to active receptor conformations in response to the binding of ligand agonists. Two possible kinetic mechanisms for this population shift are induced… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/jccs.202400140
Abstract: Molecular cavities formed by π‐conjugated component(s) generally, tend to collapse in the absence of guest molecule(s) especially in the solution‐state, because of strong π•••π interactions between molecular components. Recently, we have explored the importance of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.abb.2021.109064
Abstract: Ligand-dependent changes in protein conformation are foundational to biology. Historical mechanistic models for substrate-specific proteins are induced fit (IF) and conformational selection (CS), which invoke a change in protein conformation after ligand binds or before… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acs.jctc.2c00371
Abstract: Homology models have been used for virtual screening and to understand the binding mode of a known active compound; however, rarely have the models been shown to be of sufficient accuracy, comparable to crystal structures,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acs.orglett.1c00165
Abstract: Here we propose a new parameter, the Expanding Coefficient (EC), that can be correlated with the thermodynamic stability of supramolecular complexes governed by weak secondary interactions and obeying the induced-fit model. The EC values show… read more here.
