Structural, Dynamical, and Energetical Consequences of Rett Syndrome Mutation R133C in MeCP2
2015
Computational and Mathematical Methods in Medicine
Preserved Fulltext
The structural, dynamical, and energetical consequences of R133C mutation were investigated in detail at the atomic resolution. ...
Comparative molecular dynamics simulations of R133C mutant and wild-type MBD have been performed to understand the impact of the mutation on structure, dynamics, and interactions of the protein and subsequently ...

Mutations in the X-linked MECP2 gene represent the main origin of Rett syndrome, causing a profound intellectual disability in females. ...
Herein, we use molecular dynamics simulations to obtain a detailed view of the dynamics of WT and mutated MBD in the presence and absence of DNA. ...
The importance of this X-linked gene emerged in 1999, when several patients affected by Rett syndrome (RTT) were found mutated in MECP2 (3) . ...
