摘要: A 4.1μs molecular dynamics simulation of the NR4A1 (hNur77) apo-protein has been undertaken and a previously undetected druggable pocket become apparent that is located remotely from ‘traditional’ nuclear receptor ligand-binding site. NR4A1/bis-indole ligand complex at this novel site found to be stable over 1 μs result in an interesting conformational transmission remote loop capacity communicate with NBRE within RXR-α/NR4A1 heterodimer. Several features simulations indicate how can affected by alternate-site modulators.
