Estimating binding free energy of a putative growth factors EGF-VEGF complex - a computational bioanalytical study

Abstract

Epidermal growth factor (EGF) and homodimeric vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) bind to cell surface receptors. They are responsible for cell growth and angiogenesis, respectively. Docking of the individual proteins as monomeric units using ZDOCK 2.3.2 reveals a partial blocking of the receptor binding site of VEGF by EGF. The receptor binding site of EGF is not affected by VEGF. The calculated binding energy is found to be intermediate between the binding energies calculated for Alzheimer's Aß42 and the barnase/barstar complex.
