Spanning-Tree Thermostatistics of Protein Allostery: An Exact Kirchhoff Framework with Application to Oncogenic KRAS
Fatma Senguler Ciftci, Burak Erman
Kirchhoff matrix-tree evaluation of residue-contact spanning-tree ensembles yields exact allosteric thermodynamics; KRAS G12D conserves global and channel heat capacity but reroutes paths via Q61 and F156.
