Predicting a Kind of Unusual Multiple-States Dimerization-Modes Transformation in Protein PD-L1 System by Computational Investigation and a Generalized Rate Theory

The new cancer immunotherapy has been carried out with an almost messianic zeal, but its molecular basis remains unclear due to the complexity of programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) dimerization. In this study, a new and integral multiple dimerization-modes transformation process of PD-L1s (with a new...
