Valency of Ligand-Receptor Binding from Pair Potentials

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Coarse grained molecular dynamics simulations have been crucial for investigating the dynamics of nanoparticle uptake by cell membranes via ligand-receptor interactions. These models have enabled researchers to evaluate the effects of nanoparticle size, shape, and ligand distribution on cellular uptake. However, when pair potentials are used to represent ligand-receptor interactions, the number of receptors interacting with one ligand, valency, may vary. We demonstrate that the curvature of a nanoparticle, strength of ligand-receptor interactions, and ligand or receptor concentration change the valency, ranging from 3.4 to 5.1 in this study. Such a change in valency can create inaccurate comparisons between nanoparticles or even result in the uptake of smaller nanoparticles than would be expected. To rectify this inconsistency, we propose the adoption of a model based on bond formation and use it to determine the extent to which previous studies may have been affected. This work recommends avoiding pair potentials for modeling ligand-receptor interactions to ensure methodological consistency in nanoparticle studies.
