Molecular mechanism of claudin-15 strand flexibility: A computational study

Claudins in tight junctions form ion channels that regulate paracellular permeability. We use molecular dynamics simulations of claudin-15 strands formed by up to 300 monomers to uncover the molecular mechanism of strand flexibility.
