In this study, we found Phe289, Tyr316 and Ile319 play “gatekeeper” roles via comparing Genus-species specific and structure analysis. The four mutation models (WT, Phe289Ala, Tyr316Ala, Ile319Ala) were performed using the amber99sb force field of GROMACS software package. The complex stability, protein conformational change, active site volume and binding free energy of the binary complex were analysized by “gatekeeper” residues function. The results indicated that mutagenesis will reduce the stablility of AhR ligand binding ligand(LBD) environment, and Phe289, Tyr316 and Ile319 play “gatekeeper” roles through hydrophobic interaction. The whole structure analysis demonstrates that mutagenesis comes from the pockets, which will destabilize cavity environment, causing obvious fluctuations and leading to low ligand-affinity and ligand escape. These simulation results interpret some experimental phenomena and provide further structural informations that are useful in drug design based on Aryl hydrocarbon Receptor. 查看全文查看/发表评论下载PDF阅读器 相关附件：版权转让声明书 -->
