Simulations of a protein fold switch reveal crowding-induced population shifts driven by disordered regions
Abstract Macromolecular crowding effects on globular proteins, which usually adopt a single stable fold, have been widely studied. However, little is known about crowding effects on fold-switching proteins, which reversibly switch between distinct folds. Here we study the mutationally driven switch...
