The study aims to investigate the binding mechanism of hGH antagonist to the growth hormone receptor compared to native hGH.
Conducted molecular simulations to analyze interactions between the antagonist and the receptor.
Performed alanine scanning mutagenesis on hGH to identify potential substitution sites for a more effective antagonist.
Molecular simulations indicate weaker interactions between the hGH antagonist and the growth hormone receptor.
Identified local conformational changes in the growth hormone affecting receptor binding.
