As briefly mentioned before, the AF-2 domain is essential for ligand binding and <scene name='Peroxisome_Proliferator-Activated_Receptors/Ppar_opening3/2'>PPAR</scene> function. Upon ligand binding, helix H12 of AF-2 closes on the ligand-binding site, reducing conformational flexibility of the LBD and assuming a structure that is ideal for co-activator binding. Using Molecular Dynamic simulations, it has been determined that residues <scene name='Peroxisome_Proliferator-Activated_Receptors/H_bonding_network/3'>Glu324, Arg397, Arg443, and Tyr 477</scene> (in PPARγ) are involved in a hydrogen bond network that stabilizes the AF-2 helix in the active conformation upon ligand binding.<ref>PMID:7501014</ref>
