Molecular Dynamics of a Blood Group Antigen
In a collaborative project started during a sabbatical leave at Oxford, Reinhart Reithmeier and Antreas Kalli (Leeds) used computer simulations to characterize the dynamics of the human red blood cell anion transport protein Band 3 in a complex lipid bilayer.
The study was published on-line July 16th in PLOS Computational Biology.
The simulations showed that the signalling lipid, PIP2, binds to specific sites on the Band 3 protein, a hub […]
