Abstract excerpt
The missense mutation Y174H of FGF5 (FGF5-H174) had been associated with trichomegaly, characterized by abnormally long and pigmented eyelashes. The amino acid tyrosine (Tyr/Y) at position 174 is conserved across many species, proposedly holding important characteristics for the functions of FGF5. Microsecond molecular dynamics simulations along with protein-protein docking and residue interacting network...
