Abstract:Chemokine ligands play a pivotal role in immune response by mediating cell migration and coordinating cellular processes through interactions with chemokine receptors. Understanding their sequence and structural integrity is crucial for elucidating their biological functions and potential therapeutic applications. In this study, we investigate the dimer interface between two distinct homodimer topologies: CXC and CC homodimers. Despite nearly identical monomeric structures, the rigid CXC interface is character… Show more
