Abstract
This research identified important SNVs in the interface of RAS and showed how they might affect the function of the proteins. For instance, the mutant complex containing the variant P40L in angiotensinogen caused instability in the complex, indicating that this mutation plays an important role in disrupting the interaction between renin and angiotensinogen. The mutant complex containing the SNV A188V in renin was shown to have significantly increased fluctuation in the residue interaction networks. D104N in renin, associated with renal tubular dysgenesis, caused increased rigidity in the protein complex comparison to the wild type, which probably in turn negatively affects the function of RAS.
