Allostery through DNA drives phenotype switching

The paper shows DNA can transmit allosteric signals to enhance transcription factor binding cooperativity, enabling phenotype switching in Bacillus subtilis.

Diffusion of the disordered E-cadherin tail on β-catenin

The paper shows that the disordered E-cadherin tail dynamically interacts with β-catenin, achieving specificity and high affinity through transient contacts without dissociation.

The conformational distribution of a major facilitator superfamily peptide transporter is modulated by the membrane composition

This study shows that the conformational states of the bacterial peptide transporter DtpA change with membrane lipid composition, revealing new conformations in specific lipid environments.
