Elucidating the molecular interactions of interleukin-8 protein with polyvinyl chloride nanoplastic
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers conducted all-atom and coarse-grain molecular dynamics simulations, including umbrella sampling and simulated annealing, to elucidate the molecular interactions between interleukin-8 protein and polyvinyl chloride nanoplastics. The simulation dataset revealed binding orientation, interaction energetics, and conformational dynamics of the IL8-PVC nanoplastic complex, providing molecular-level insights into how nanoplastics may interfere with immune signaling proteins.
