1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Proteins are dynamic entities in cellular solution with functions governed essentially by their dynamic personalities. We review several dynamics studies on serine protease proteinase K and HIV-1 gp120 envelope glycoprotein to demonstrate the importance of investigating the dynamic behaviors and molecular motions for a complete understanding of their structure-function relationships. Using computer simulations and essential dynamic (ED) analysis approaches, the dynamics data obtained revealed that: (i) proteinase K has highly flexible substrate-binding site, thus supporting the induced-fit or conformational selection mechanism of substrate binding; (ii) Ca(2+) removal from proteinase K increases the global conformational flexibility, decreases the local flexibility of substrate-binding region, and does not influence the thermal motion of catalytic triad, thus explaining the experimentally determined decreased thermal stability, reduced substrate affinity, and almost unchanged catalytic activity upon Ca(2+) removal; (iii) substrate binding affects the large concerted motions of proteinase K, and the resulting dynamic pocket can be connected to substrate binding, orientation, and product release; (iv) amino acid mutations 375 S/W and 423 I/P of HIV-1 gp120 have distinct effects on molecular motions of gp120, facilitating 375 S/W mutant to assume the CD4-bound conformation, while 423 I/P mutant to prefer for CD4-unliganded state. The mechanisms underlying protein dynamics and protein-ligand binding, including the concept of the free energy landscape (FEL) of the protein-solvent system, how the ruggedness and variability of FEL determine protein's dynamics, and how the three ligand-binding models, the lock-and-key, induced-fit, and conformational selection are rationalized based on the FEL theory are discussed in depth.
