Molecular dynamics simulations of forced unbending of integrin α(v)β₃.
Integrins may undergo large conformational changes during activation, but the dynamic processes and pathways remain poorly understood. We used molecular dynamics to simulate forced unbending of a complete integrin α(v)β₃ ectodomain in both unliganded and liganded forms. Pulling the head of the integ...
