Abstract

The aim of this study was to perform an in silico analysis of the interaction of the human beta(2) adrenergic receptor with G alpha(s). In a first step, a systematic surface-interaction-scan between the inactive or active human beta(2) adrenergic receptor and G alpha(s) was performed in order to gain knowledge about energetically preferred areas on the potential energy surface. Subsequently, two energetically favored regions for the active human beta(2) adrenergic receptor-G alpha(s), complex were identified. Two representative complex structures were put into a POPC (1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-phosphatidylcholine) bilayer and solvated in order to perform molecular dynamic simulations. The simulations revealed that both conformations, which have comparable potential energy, are stable. A mean number of about 14 hydrogen bonds was observed between the active receptor and G alpha(s) for both conformations. Based on these results, two energetically favored beta(2)-G alpha(s)complexes can be proposed.
