Let’s Talk about Sex Hormone Receptors and Their Physical Interaction with Sonic Hedgehog Protein: A Computational Study with Emphasis on Progesterone Receptor by Antonija Tomić, Josipa Čonkaš, Petar Ozretić

“…In this study, we employed computational methods to explore the potential binding of SHH-N with the progesterone receptor (PR), the sole member of the nuclear sex hormone receptor (SHRs) subfamily not previously linked to SHH-N. Through a combination of molecular docking, robust molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, and free energy calculations, we predicted a stable binding between SHH-N-cholesterol and PR. …”
