Theoretical study on mutation-induced activation of the luteinizing hormone receptor.

Abstract excerpt

Here, three-dimensional model building and molecular dynamics simulations of the luteinizing hormone receptor have been employed to generate hypotheses about the molecular mechanisms underlying the activation of the receptor induced by naturally occurring activating mutations. The comparative analysis of the wild-type receptor and of 16 constitutively active or inactive mutants has been instrumental in inferring...
