Induced fit, conformational selection and independent dynamic segments: an extended view of binding events
Open accessAbstract
Single molecule and NMR measurements of protein dynamics increasingly uncover the complexity of binding scenarios. Here, we describe an extended conformational selection model that embraces a repertoire of selection and adjustment processes. Induced fit can be viewed as a subset of this repertoire, whose contribution is affected by the bond types stabilizing the interaction and the differences between the interacting partners. We argue that protein segments whose dynamics are distinct from the rest of the protein ('discrete breathers') can govern conformational transitions and allosteric propagation that accompany binding processes and, as such, might be more sensitive to mutational events. Additionally, we highlight the dynamic complexity of binding scenarios as they relate to events such as aggregation and signalling, and the crowded cellular environment.

In the citing paper
“In a long-standing debate between the proponents of the “induced-fit” and the “conformational selection” binding mechanisms [21–23], the evidence pointing to the latter allows one to precompute the conformational ensemble of the interacting molecule(s) and dock the separate conformers with limited conformational search [24,25].”

Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThe check wasn’t confident either way, so it gives no verdict — never disputed.
In the citing paper
“Even if we take P (A p ) equal to 1, and thus assume there are no problematic obstacles involved in generating the building blocks; and also eliminate the localization probability by collapsing chance to necessity (selforganization), P(A c ) can still pose huge obstacles to the chance configuration of the quaternary structure of operative biological systems (Csermely et al., 2010).”

In the citing paper
“In an induced fit scenario, the ligands bind to the single “open” protein structure and the interaction between a protein and a rigid binding partner induces a conformational change in the protein.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
