Inter-Subunit Dynamics Controls Tunnel Formation During the Oxygenation Process in Hemocyanin Hexamers

Hemocyanin from horseshoe crab in its active form is a homo-hexameric protein. It exists in open and closed conformations when transitioning between deoxygenated and oxygenated states. Here, we present a detailed dynamic atomistic investigation of the oxygenated and deoxygenated states of the hexame...
