摘要: Class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules have three domains, a platform domain and two membrane-proximal immunoglobulin-like an α3 β2-immunoglobulin (β2m). To understand the dynamic interactions among we simulated behavior of partial model deficient in β2m another domain, by normal mode analysis. As result, was more flexible interdomain conformation than other model. The lowest frequency modes (<2 cm−1) observed for simulations showed clear motions as if each moved like rigid body. Such low frequencies were not model, therefore flexibility may be due to cm−1). These results suggest that contributes maintaining class MHC does, offer convincing evidence support notion do equal influence on structural stability molecules.
