Research Abstract

Structural determination of the complex between interleukin-18 ligand and the receptor was successfully performed. The structural basis of the receptor activation was analyzed and the screening system using a virtual ligand screening method with the determined structure was established. Using the newly found inhibitors, analyses of cellular functions, protein-protein interactions, and immunological cell reactions were performed and the molecular mechanism was determined. The obtained candidate molecules were assayed by high-through-put system for interaction analysis.
