The lowest-energy solution of the lowest ligand all-atom RMSD cluster was accepted as the calculated binding energy.
Accordingly, it is obvious that addition of a polyclonal activating ligand such as phytohemagglutinin to peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) leads to the activation of soluble macrophage-derived and lymphocyte-derived activating factors, and the almost simultaneous activation of multiple cell surface receptors, signaling pathways and transcription factors that ultimately all contribute to lymphocyte activation.
Based on data obtained from affinity labeling and site directed mutagenesis studies, several regions of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor have been implicated in ligand binding [ 10 ] . Six essential loops appear to contribute to the binding site with the position of each loop differing slightly depending on whether the receptor is heteromeric or homomeric [ 4 ] . For homomeric receptors such as the α7 nAChR, the loops are identified as A, B, C, D, E and F [ 4 11 ] . The amino acids that interact with ligands presumably extend into the binding site from these loops.
The apoptosis regulators included several anti-apoptotic genes discussed previously ( A20, MCL1, c-IAP2 ), as well as potentially pro-apoptotic genes such as those for Fas ligand and TNF receptor type II.
In IBD, especially Crohn's disease, MAdCAM-1 acts as the main ligand for a4b7-expressing lymphocytes and recruits these lymphocytes into the intestine where they initiate and sustain chronic inflammation.
