This study provides an excellent example of how detailed energetics and structure can be used together to provide a clearer understanding of protein-ligand interactions.

This is an experimental investigation of the contribution of translational and rotational entropy to binding. The results clearly show that this contribution is much smaller than some theoretical estimates.

Cooperativity in protein folding is fundamental to protein function. In this paper, the authors examine the origin and behavior of folding cooperativity. They show that cooperativity is not uniformly distributed throughout the structure and that it varies with conditions.

An understanding of protein stabilization and cooperativity in terms of a native-state ensemble provides new insights into protein function. Here the author shows how binding to one region of a protein can have significant effects on the stability and cooperativity of the rest of the protein. The ability to predict these effects can provide a route to designing non-competitive inhibitors.

The application of structural energetics to systems containing functional groups that are either unrepresented or under-represented in proteins can require the development of new parameters. Here the authors look at the differences between protein folding and protein-carbohydrate interactions.
