Protein-Ligand Interactions

Аннотация

Proteins are the cell’s workers, their messengers and overseers. In these roles proteins specifically bind small molecules, nucleic acid and other protein partners. Cellular systems are closely regulated, and changes in the populations of particular protein complexes or products of protein-mediated reactions by as little as a factor of 2 can switch cells from one state to another, from growth to stasis, from replication to apoptosis.
