Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Science 子刊:理解蛋白质动力学的一种新方法
细胞过程是通过不同蛋白质形状之间的平衡来调节的,这些蛋白质形状赋予这些分子有活性或无活性的功能。在细胞调控的复杂性中,蛋白质的首选形状 (或构象) 往往取决于与另一个分子 (称为效应体) 的结合,因此,这意味着同一蛋白质可以根据它所结合的效应体发挥不同的功能。因此,在分子水平上,蛋白质功能转化为蛋白质动力学,这是从细胞分裂到能量供应和细胞命运决定的所有细胞过程发展的关键。 由 Modesto Orozco 博士领导的巴塞罗那 IRB 分子建模和生物信息学实验室的研究人员开发了一种新的计算程序,可以发现和量化功能性蛋白质的形状,从而揭示细胞过程的分子细节。这项工作的重点是在变构调控下的蛋白质,这意味着它们的形状变化发生在远离效应的结合位点的区域。利用这种方法,科学家们研究了腺苷酸环化酶 (AC) 的调节,AC 是一种关键酶,参与控制多种细胞过程,包括调节多种激素的作用和调节能量代谢。这项工作
Article Description
Protein-mediated allosteric regulations are essential in biology, but their quantitative characterization continues to posit formidable challenges for both experiments and computations. Here, we combine coevolutionary information, multiscale molecular simulations, and free-energy methods to interrogate and quantify the allosteric regulation of functional changes in protein complexes. We apply this approach to investigate the regulation of adenylyl cyclase (AC) by stimulatory and inhibitory G proteins—a prototypical allosteric system that has long escaped from in-depth molecular characterization. We reveal a surprisingly simple ON/OFF regulation of AC functional dynamics through multiple pathways of information transfer. The binding of G proteins reshapes the free-energy landscape of AC following the classical population-shift paradigm. The model agrees with structural and biochemical data and reveals previously unknown experimentally consistent intermediates. Our approach showcases a general strategy to explore uncharted functional space in complex biomolecular regulations.
