Molecular dynamics of JUNO-IZUMO1 complexation suggests biologically relevant mechanisms in fertilization
Abstract JUNO-IZUMO1 binding is the first known physical link created between the sperm and egg membranes in fertilization, however, how this initiates sperm-egg fusion remains elusive. As advanced structural insights will help to combat the infertility crisis, or advance fertility control, we emplo...
