Motion in Interferon-gamma [intfg]

[ jump to morphs ]

Classification Known Domain Motion, Hinge Mechanism [D-h-2]

Structures 2RIG Conformation 1 [ PartsList ]

Description The crystal structure of interferon-gamma has been solved complexed to the extracellular fragment of its high-affinity cell-surface receptor. Crystal and NMR structures of the AB and C terminus loop of unbound interferon-gamma find these to be flexible, whereas the study of bound interferon-gamma strongly suggest that these loops become well-ordered upon binding.
