Decoding the Conformational Dynamics and Hyperactivity of Histone H3K36 N-Methyltransferase in Oncogenic Mutations via tICA and Markov State Modeling

This study uses molecular dynamics simulations to show that oncogenic NSD2 mutations enhance catalytic efficiency by reorganizing conformational dynamics rather than destabilizing the enzyme.

Small Structural Variations, Large Functional Consequences: Comparative Analysis Reveals Structural Control of Ubiquitylation Site Selection by BRCA1/BARD1

This study compares structural variations in BRCA1/BARD1 orthologs across species to show how a structural loop affects ubiquitylation site selection and chromatin regulation.

The structural mechanism of eukaryotic fluoride channel activation and inhibition by monovalent cations

This study investigates how sodium and lithium regulate the fluoride exporter FEX, revealing structural and functional differences in their effects on channel activity and fluoride tolerance in yeast.

The molecular basis of sodium-dependent fluoride export by the eukaryotic fluoride channel FEX

This study identifies the molecular mechanism of sodium-dependent fluoride export by FEX proteins using electrophysiology, cryo-EM, and simulations.
