Many of the proteins that mediate cell adhesion processesfibronectin, fibrinogen, vitronectin, von Willebrand factor, osteopontin, laminin and various collagens -contain the amino acid sequence Arg-Gly-Asp. Short peptides that include this sequence have been shown to inhibit the interactions of cell
The thermodynamics of molecular recognition is investigated by a statistical energy landscape approach, where the temperature profile of the ligandแprotein binding process is determined using the weighted histogram analysis method. The analysis reveals differences in the binding energy landscapes of
