Determination of locked interfaces in biomolecular complexes using Haptimol_RD

Recently we have developed a software tool, Haptimol_RD, which allows the user to control a ligand molecule via a haptic device and feel its interactions with a receptor molecule. Here we have used Haptimol_RD on two types of dimers, those with an interwinding subunit interface and those without a non-interwinding subunit interface. The results show that for the interwinding dimers one or both the subunits much change conformation upon complex formation whereas for the non-interwinding dimers this is not necessary. This leads to a new concept relating to steric interactions between subunits; that of a “locked” interface.
