Steered Molecular Dynamics Simulations Predict Conformational Stability of Glutamate Receptors.

Abstract excerpt

The stability of protein-protein interfaces can be essential for protein function. For ionotropic glutamate receptors, a family of ligand-gated ion channels vital for normal function of the central nervous system, such an interface exists between the extracellular ligand binding domains (LBDs). In the full-length protein, the LBDs are arranged as a dimer of dimers. Agonist binding to the LBDs opens the ion...
