The computational techniques can also provide quantitative means that can then be used to explore the relation between age and conformation of the vertebrae.
These data indicate that VO 2+-AMPCP was released from the conformation corresponding to species D2; however, the conformation corresponding to species D1 still had bound VO 2+-AMPCP.
It is tempting to speculate that, under certain conditions, the mammalian COP1 NES is shielded within the coiled-coil structure and COP1 protein is imported into the nucleus through the RING finger bridged NLS; under other conditions, probably through a conformation change of the coiled-coil domain, the NES is exposed, overwriting the NLS and transporting mammalian COP1 back into the cytoplasm.
The side-chain of Phe144 contacts the ligands only via its c-alpha an c-beta atoms, and similar interaction can occur with a leucine or glutamine at this position; however, while the conformation presented is projecting away from the ligands, alternative conformers could bring the side-chain closer to the agonists, and represent structural determinants for specificity.
Strict conformation requirements for aggregate formation can also explain interspecies transmission barriers, where prion domains of Sup35 derived from other yeast species cannot cause formation of [PSI + ] prion in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, in spite of a high degree of homology.
