Abstract

The cellular environment is critical to protein function. How is information from many cellular components decoded in order to fine-tune biological activity? New models of biomolecular recognition raise the possibility that proteins engage in specific, yet fuzzy, interactions with their functional partners, which can provide a readout mechanism of the cellular context. Manipulating the cellular context to control protein function offers new therapeutic opportunities.
