Conformational transitions of caspase-6 in substrate-induced activation process explored by perturbation-response scanning combined with targeted molecular dynamics

Caspase-6 participates in a series of neurodegenerative pathways, and has aroused widespread attentions as a promising molecular target for the treatment of neurodegeneration. Caspase-6 is a homodimer with 6 central-stranded β-sheets and 5 α-helices in each monomer. Previous crystallographic studies...
