Molecular Dynamics Simulation on the Conformational Transition of the Mad2 Protein from the Open to the Closed State

The Mad2 protein, with two distinct conformations of open- and closed-states, is a key player in the spindle checkpoint. The closed Mad2 state is more active than the open one. We carried out conventional and targeted molecular dynamics simulations for the two stable Mad2 states and their conformati...
