Abstract

Structural fluctuations and dynamic cross-correlations in the mouse eugenol olfactory receptor (Olfr73) were studied by molecular dynamics (MD) simulation to characterize the dynamic response of the protein upon ligand binding. The initial structure was generated by the artificial intelligence tool AlfaFold2 due to the current lack of experimental data. We focused on the hydrogen (H) bond of the odorant eugenol to Ser113, Asn207, and Tyr260 of the receptor protein, the importance of which has been suggested by previous experimental studies. The H-bond was not observed in docking simulations, but in subsequent MD simulations the H-bond to Ser113 was formed in 2–4 ns. The lifetime of the H-bond was in the range of 1–20 ns. On the trajectory with the most stable (20 ns) H-bond, the structural fluctuation of the α -carbon atoms of the receptor main chain was studied by calculating the root mean square fluctuations, the dynamic cross-correlation map, and the time-dependent dynamic cross-correlation. The analysis suggested a correlation transfer pathway Ser113 → Phe182 → (Leu259 or Tyr260) → Tyr291 induced by the ligand binding with a time scale of 4–6 ns.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
