Abstract excerpt
The homodimerization of ENPP1 is mediated by the two somatomedin B (SMB) domains of the protein through a mechanism that is yet unknown at the atomistic level. The tandem arrangement of these domains without an intermediate spacer implies their possible packing into a functional assembly, which we explored by rigid docking. To exclude potential bias in the docking search we assessed the absence of flexible...
