A computational approach based upon rigid-body docking, ad hoc filtering, and cluster analysis has been carried out to predict likely interfaces in LHR homodimers. Quaternary structure predictions emphasize the role of helices 4, 5 and 6, with prominence to helix 4, in mediating inter-monomer interactions. Intermolecular interactions essentially involve the transmembrane domains rather than the hydrophilic loops and do not implicate disulfide bridges.Collectively, molecular dynamics simulations ...[more]
