摘要: Allosteric communication in proteins is a fundamental and yet unresolved problem of structural biochemistry. Previous findings, from computational biology (Ota, N.; Agard, D. A. J. Mol. Biol. 2005, 351, 345−354), have proposed that heat diffuses protein through cognate allosteric pathways. This work studied diffusion the well-known PDZ-2 protein, confirmed this has two pathways flows preferentially these. Also, new property was also observed for structures: asymmetrically structures. The underling structure asymmetrical flow normal length hydrogen bond (∼2.85 A) acted as thermal rectifier. In contrast, rectification compromised short bonds (∼2.60 A), giving rise to symmetrical diffusion. Asymmetrical due, on higher scale, local, organization residues that, turn, mediated by hydrogen...
