Curpocket as a Tool for Studying Cytokine Activity under Experimental Conditions

Senior Lecturer, Tashkent State Medical University, Tashkent, Uzbekistan
*Corresponding author
Abstract:

Cytokines are key regulators of intercellular signaling that play an essential role in immune regulation and the maintenance of homeostasis. Conventional quantitative analytical approaches are limited in their ability to evaluate the spatiotemporal dynamics of cytokine activity and the complexity of their functional interactions. The present study applies the CurPocket method, which combines the analysis of protein conformational pockets with computational modeling, to identify active sites of cytokines and to assess their contribution to intercellular signaling mechanisms. The obtained findings demonstrate the potential of the CurPocket approach for the systematic analysis of cytokine networks and for the development of new strategies in the diagnosis and treatment of immune disorders.


Keywords: Cytokines, active sites, CurPocket, intercellular signaling, immune regulation
