Four generations of transition-state analogues for human purine nucleoside phosphorylase.

abstract：:Twenty years after their discovery, knots in proteins are now quite well understood. They are believed to be functionally advantageous and provide extra stability to protein chains. In this work, we go one step further and search for links-entangled structures, more complex than knots, which consist of several compone...
