The abstract, sentence by sentence
Structural fluctuations and dynamic cross-correlations in the mouse eugenol olfactory receptor (Olfr73) were studied by molecular dynamics (MD) simulation to characterize the dynamic response of the protein upon ligand binding. The initial structure was generated by the artificial intelligence tool AlfaFold2 due to the current lack of experimental data. We focused on the hydrogen (H) bond of the odorant eugenol to Ser113, Asn207, and Tyr260 of the receptor protein, the importance of which has been suggested by previous experimental studies. The H-bond was not observed in docking simulations, but in subsequent MD simulations the H-bond to Ser113 was formed in 2--4 ns. The lifetime of the H-bond was in the range of 1--20 ns. On the trajectory with the most stable (20 ns) H-bond, the structural fluctuation of the $\alpha$-carbon atoms of the receptor main chain was studied by calculating the root mean square fluctuations, the dynamic cross-correlation map, and the time-dependent dynamic cross-correlation. The analysis suggested a correlation transfer pathway Ser113 $\to$ Phe182 $\to$ (Leu259 or Tyr260) $\to$ Tyr291 induced by the ligand binding with a time scale of 4--6 ns.
