Abstract excerpt
Viral BCL2 proteins (vBCL2s) help to sustain chronic infection of host proteins to inhibit apoptosis and autophagy. However, details of conformational changes in vBCL2s that enable binding to BH3Ds remain unknown. Using all-atom, multiple microsecond-long molecular dynamic simulations (totaling 17 μs) of the murine γ-herpesvirus 68 vBCL2 (M11), and statistical inference techniques, we show that regions of M11...
