Molecular dynamics identifies semi-rigid domains in the PD-1 checkpoint receptor bound to its natural ligand PD-L1

Cells in danger of being erroneously attacked by leucocytes express PD-L1 on their surface. These cells activate PD-1 on attacking leucocytes and send them to death, thus curbing erroneous, autoimmune attack. Unfortunately, cancer cells exploit this mechanism: By expressing PD-L1, they guard themsel...
