Molecular Determinants of Epidermal Growth Factor Binding: A Molecular Dynamics Study
The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a member of the receptor tyrosine kinase family that plays a role in multiple cellular processes. Activation of EGFR requires binding of a ligand on the extracellular domain to promote conformational changes leading to dimerization and transphosphorylation of intracellular kinase domains. Seven ligands are known to bind EGFR with affinities ranging...
متن کاملPutative Binding Sites of Dopamine and Arachidonoyl Dopamine to Beta-lactoglobulin: A Molecular Docking and Molecular Dynamics Study
Because of participation in many aspects of human life, and due to oxidation-sensitive characteristics of dopamine (DA) and arachidonoyl dopamine (AA-DA), the necessity of biocompatible carrier to keep them against oxidation is of importance. In this work, we explored the putative binding sites of DA and AA-DA to -lactoglobulin (BLG) as potent carrier. Docking results identified the binding si...
متن کاملFunctional and Molecular Characterization of C91S Mutation in the Second Epidermal Growth Factor-like Domain of Factor VII
Background: Coagulation Factor VII is a vitamin K-dependent serine protease which has a pivotal role in the initiation of the coagulation cascade. The congenital Factor VII deficiency is a recessive hemorrhagic disorder that occurs due to mutations of F7 gene. In the present study C91S (p.C91S) substitution was detected in a patient with FVII deficiency. This mutation has not b...

متن کاملMolecular Determinants of Glioblastoma Response to Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Kinase Inhibitors
Despite the improved prognosis for many cancer patients, the survival for those with Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) remains dismal. Even with aggressive intervention, including resection, radiation, and chemotherapy, the overall 2-year survival rate is only 25% in the most optimistic series, and 5-year survival rates are consistently in the low single digits (1, 2). Therefore, it is evident that...
