Abstract excerpt
Binding of interleukin-8 (IL-8) to glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) on the surface of endothelial cells is crucial for the recruitment of neutrophils to an inflammatory site. Deriving structural knowledge about this interaction from in silico docking experiments has proved difficult because of the high flexibility and the size of GAGs. Therefore, we developed a docking method that takes into account ligand and protein...
