Allosteric response to ligand binding: Molecular dynamics study of the N-terminal domains in IP3 receptor

Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) receptor (IP3R) is a huge tetrameric intracellular Ca2+ channel that mediates cytoplasmic Ca2+ signaling. The structural basis of the gating in IP3R has been studied by X-ray crystallography and cryo-electron microscopy, focusing on the domain rearrangements trigge...
