Asymmetry and Allostery: Insights into the Mechanism of DirectionalPeptide Translocation in AAA+ Unfoldases
Tyler G. Southam, Myongin Oh, Jessica M. J. Swanson
This paper uses molecular dynamics simulations of AAA+ unfoldases to show structural asymmetry and allosteric networks generate kinetic asymmetry, enabling directional substrate translocation despite stochastic ATP hydrolysis.
