Abstract excerpt
The three-dimensional structure of IL-8/CXCL8 has been previously determined using NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography, but the structure of the receptors for this chemokine has not been determined experimentally. We present here the development of a model for the structure of the IL-8/CXCL8 receptor CXCR1, using a combination of homology modeling and a molecular dynamics simulation. Based on this model,...
