Abstract excerpt
Several mutations in the gene for the mitochondrial single stranded DNA binding protein (SSBP1) have recently been implicated in human disease, but initial reports are insufficient to explain the molecular mechanism of disease, including the possible role of SSBP1 heterotetramers in heterozygous patients. Here we employed molecular simulations to model the dynamics of wild type and 31 variant SSBP1 tetramer...
