Structural basis of complex formation between mitochondrial anion channel VDAC1 and Hexokinase-II

Haloi et al. investigate the role of the hydrophobic N-terminus of hexokinase II (HKII) in their binding to mitochondrial VDAC1. They use a hybrid approach combining molecular and Brownian dynamics to show that HKII first inserts into the outer membrane of mitochondria (OMM) and then interacts with...
