Cytotoxic Staphylococcus aureus PSMα3 inhibits the aggregation of human insulin in vitro

“…Based on the results of ThT assays and spectroscopic analysis, it is most likely that PSM interferes with the early stages of insulin aggregation. Therefore, we first modelled the structure of the human insulin dimer using AlphaFold2 46 (Fig. 8A).…”

“…We started by modelling the structure of the insulin dimer using the Colabfold 82 version of AlphaFold2 46 with the default parameters. For modelling the molecular docking of PSMa3 to the insulin structure (PDB: 5ENA), CABSdock server 47 was used.…”
