Editing PEP group translocation (section)

== Structural analysis ==
Three-dimensional structures of examples of all the soluble, cytoplasmic complexes of the PTS were solved by [[G. Marius Clore]] using multidimensional [[NMR]] spectroscopy, and led to significant insights into how [[signal transduction]] proteins recognize multiple, structurally dissimilar partners by generating similar binding surfaces from completely different structural elements, making use of large binding surfaces with intrinsic redundancy, and exploiting side chain conformational plasticity.<ref name=":0">{{cite journal | vauthors = Clore GM, Venditti V | title = Structure, dynamics and biophysics of the cytoplasmic protein-protein complexes of the bacterial phosphoenolpyruvate: sugar phosphotransferase system | journal = Trends in Biochemical Sciences | volume = 38 | issue = 10 | pages = 515–30 | date = October 2013 | pmid = 24055245 | pmc = 3831880 | doi = 10.1016/j.tibs.2013.08.003 }}</ref>
