Sketching of CD95 Oligomers by In Silico Investigations

This work aimed at building a 3D model of trimeric apo CD95. By combining different molecular modeling approaches and experimental information, we have been able to obtain a consensual organization of the complex. Our strategy permitted the construction of a plausible trimer, and to sketch the interface between protomers. The final model will guide further experimental investigations and understanding of CD95 structure and functions.
