A DFT-D investigation of the mechanisms for activation of the wild-type and S810L mutated mineralocorticoid receptor by steroid hormones.

Abstract excerpt

In this work, we investigate the mode of binding of several steroid hormones, namely aldosterone, deoxycorticosterone, and progesterone to the wild-type and S810L mutated mineralocorticoid (MR) receptor using the newly formulated density functional theory with an empirical dispersion term (DFT-D) molecular electronic structure method. It is found that the MR agonists, aldosterone and deoxycorticosterone, form...
