The Impairment of TorsinA's Binding to and Interactions With Its Activator: An Atomistic Molecular Dynamics Study of Primary Dystonia

Primary dystonia's prolonged muscle contractions and the associated abnormal postures and twisting movements remain incurable. Genetic mutation/deletion of GAG from TorsonA's gene resulting in ΔE303 (which weakens the binding between TorsinA and its activator, such as LULL1) primarily caus...
