This study explores the colocalization of catalytic residues with dynamic hinge regions in proteins, showing the importance of this phenomenon. The results suggest that proteins can utilize the dynamic hinge region as a catalytic center. Future work includes expanding the dataset and investigating the reasons behind the active site placement.

Dynamic Hinge Regions co-localize with Biological Important Residues lecturer : Lee-Wei Yang May 21 2002
Assumption : biological catalytic residues colocalized in the dynamic hinge regions of proteins. remove homologues seq.; no bias to specific protein family Method : Search Protein & inhibitor complex (randomly) PDB Literature Search Dynamic Analysis by GNM Dynamic patterns in active or inhibitory sites (Slow1,2) Residues in Active(or catalytic) site
Results Table 125 proteins, their relative inhibitors and biologically critical residues Only 25 proteins out of 140 were suitable for the following study by reasons of: 1.No or insufficient inhibition or catalyst sites information in the related literature 2. Inhibitor itself is huge polypeptide with carbon number larger than 40 3.Sequences have incomplete chain information Active and inhibitor binding residues located on the hinge region of representative modes of protein motion.Except proteins in 1A42,1A5I, 1AL8, 1BH6, 1BVV, 1CRU are analyzed by global second slowest mode (slow mode 2), the rest of them were analyzed in global slowest mode (slow mode 1).

Discussion
Conclusion This study provides a general idea of the beneficial effect that biological macromolecules set their catalytic centers in the dynamic hinge region. Future Work • Collect more proteins • Generalize the reasons for proteins which have their active • sites in the peak regions
