The results help to identify the conformational changes of the ligand due to receptor binding, as well as the structural orders of the apo and holo IL-18 protein complexes. This investigative approach assists in the proper identifications of therapeutic-targets, their structural-assemblies and consistent ligand-receptor interfacial interactions, and thus, plays a vital role in the development of new, innovative medicines (Freudenberg et al. The present simulation study examines the structural stabilities of the ligand-protein, IL-18 and IL-18 receptor (IL-18R) bound ligand structures as functions of time. We analyze here the conformational changes within the ligand-protein, due to receptor binding and, we also identify the possible structurally ordered and disordered region within the apo and holo (ligand-bound) protein complexes. ./cache/cord-264489-h1n9ywbd.txt ./txt/cord-264489-h1n9ywbd.txt
