Predicting important residues and interaction pathways in proteins using Gaussian Network Model: binding and stability of HLA proteins.

A statistical thermodynamics approach is proposed to determine structurally and functionally important residues in native proteins that are involved in energy exchange with a ligand and other residues along an interaction pathway. The structure-function relationships, ligand binding and allosteric a...
