Molecular uncoupling of C-C chemokine receptor 5-induced chemotaxis and signal transduction from HIV-1 coreceptor activity.

abstract：:Understanding the detailed mechanism of the activation of voltage-gated ion channels has been a problem of great current interest. Reliable molecular simulations of voltage effects present a major challenge because meaningful converging microscopic simulations are not yet available and macroscopic treatments involve m...
