Structures of Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals Determine Binding to and Activation of the Estrogen Receptor α and Androgen Receptor

Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) can interact with nuclear receptors, including estrogen receptor α (ERα) and androgen receptor (AR), to affect the normal endocrine system function, causing severe symptoms. Limited studies queried…

Quantitative Structure–Activity Relationship Models for Predicting Inflammatory Potential of Metal Oxide Nanoparticles

Although substantial concerns about the inflammatory effects of engineered nanomaterial (ENM) have been raised, experimentally assessing toxicity of various ENMs is challenging and time-consuming. Alternatively, quantitative structure–activity relationship (QSAR) models…

Structural Changes Due to Antagonist Binding in Ligand Binding Pocket of Androgen Receptor Elucidated through Molecular Dynamics Simulations

When a small molecule binds to the androgen receptor (AR), a conformational change can occur which impacts subsequent binding of co-regulator proteins and DNA. In order to accurately study this…
