Solution structure of multi-domain protein ER-60 studied by aggregation-free SAXS and coarse-grained-MD simulation

Abstract Multi-domain proteins (MDPs) show a variety of domain conformations under physiological conditions, regulating their functions through such conformational changes. One of the typical MDPs, ER-60 which is a protein folding enzyme, has a U-shape with four domains and is thought to have differ...
