In determining the proper amount of how much of the drug should be injected, Remicade is able to sufficiently block TNF-α from interacting with the TNF receptors (TNFR). Thus, inhibiting the receptor from signaling production of IL-1 and IL-6, both of which are pro-inflammatory cytokines. When this occurs, Remicade acts as a competitive inhibitor to TNF-R. If an adequate amount is introduced, the interface will be obstructed, thus preventing TNF-α from participating further in diseases.

Once the complex forms, it is stabilized by the amino acid residues Gln67–His73 and Gln102–Lys112 of the C-D and E-F loops. Particularly, the weak interactions between the loops and side chains, allows for a stronger binding affinity. (ASK ABOUT ACIDIC CHAIN SUBSTITUTIONS) The strongest interaction between the two proteins is best seen in the peak region in Figure.... This arises when TNF-α is in its active form and exists as a trimer. Although, research has offered some insight into the mechanisms of how Remicade effectively inhibits TNF-α, studies have not shown a clear understanding of the extensive underlying network. Thus, more research into this matter should be pursued.
