As in the case of Glutamine Binding Protein, StoneHinge did not predict the second<br />

largest domain as a single domain, instead predicting it as multiple smaller domains.<br />

Again, the StoneHinge output noted that its prediction did not correspond to domain<br />

motion.<br />

TLSMD finds the domain boundary at 228/229 in all partitions (N=2,3,4,5), but does not<br />

find the boundary at 20/21 until N=6. TLSMD analyses of the two peptide chains in<br />

1EJD are consistent in this regard (8.c). TLSMD 6-group boundaries for 1EJD chains A<br />

and B. The continuous domain consisting of residues 21-228 is broken into 3 segments<br />

(green/magenta/red) by TLSMD, which may be interpreted as due to local flexibility of<br />

the loop of residues (108-127) at the top of the green domain in Figure 8a.<br />

Enolase<br />

HAG hinges: 149-150,317-318<br />

Enolase is an archetypal member of the Enolase superfamily of proteins, which abstract<br />

the α–protons of carboxylic acids to form enolic intermediates. Enolase itself catalyzes<br />

the dehydration of 2-phosphoglycerate in glycolysis The structure contains two binding<br />

sites for divalent cations.<br />

Only partial successes were had for this protein. The open structure (3enl) had no bound<br />

metals. The StoneHinge came withing two residues of predicting the first hinge and<br />

missed the second, while hNMc predicted both hinges (although it also returned several<br />

false positives.) The closed structure (1ebg) did have bound metals, and again hNMc<br />
