In-Depth Molecular Dynamics Study of All Possible Chondroitin Sulfate Disaccharides Reveals Key Insight into Structural Heterogeneity and Dynamism

Abstract: GAGs exhibit a high level of conformational and configurational diversity, which remains untapped in terms of the recognition and modulation of proteins. Although GAGs are suggested to bind to more than 800 biologically important proteins, very few therapeutics have been designed or discovered so far. A key challenge is the inability to identify, understand and predict distinct topologies accessed by GAGs, which may help design novel protein-binding GAG sequences. Recent studies on chondroitin sulfate (CS), a … Show more

“…Numerically derived histograms have various numbers of maxima, but these local maxima may be wider or narrower, which is essential in the entropy calculated here. Therefore, our work builds upon [ 46 ], which focuses on a sole CS6 and shows that a smaller number of regions are preferred to occupy by ( , ) angles than our work that shows a larger number where HSA was added to the solution.…”
