title: [Identification of Intermediate States of Electron Transfer Proteins Plastocyanin and Cytochrome f in the Process of Diffusional Encounter].
abstract: The Brownian dynamics method is used for qualitative analysis of events leading to formation of a functionally active plastocyanin-cytochrome f complex. Intermediate states of this process are identified by density-based hierarchical clustering. Diffusive entrapment of plastocyanin by cytochrome f is a key point of the suggested putative scenario of protein-protein approaching. Mobility of plastocyanin is characterized for different values of protein-protein electrostatic interaction energy.
