Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Insulin: Elucidating the Conformational Changes that Enable Its Binding.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2015

Papaioannou Anastasios, Kuyucak Serdar, Kuncic Zdenka

Abstract excerpt

A sequence of complex conformational changes is required for insulin to bind to the insulin receptor. Recent experimental evidence points to the B chain C-terminal (BC-CT) as the location of these changes in insulin. Here, we present molecular dynamics simulations of insulin that reveal new insights into the structural changes occurring in the BC-CT. We find three key results: 1) The opening of the BC-CT is...
