Computational method for relative binding energies of enzyme-substrate complexes.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A computational method for estimating the relative binding free energies of enzyme-substrate complexes is described that combines electrostatic and solvation models and X-ray crystallographic data. The polar contribution is evaluated by the Poisson-Boltzman equation. The nonpolar contribution is evaluated by solvent transfer data and surface area calculations. This algorithm was used to calculate the relative binding energies of 63 pairs of nine different mutant proteins with seven different substituted R-malate substrates of Escherichia coli isocitrate dehydrogenase. Comparison of calculated values with the experimentally observed values shows a high degree of correlation.

Kinetic and binding effects in peptide substrate selectivity of matrix metalloproteinase-2: Molecular dynamics and QM/MM calculations.
Herein, we examine computationally the binding and hydrolysis reaction of the MMP-2 enzyme with two peptide substrates selected by the enzyme from a phage peptide library. Molecular dynamics simulations of the Michaelis complexes (25 ns) allow us to characterize the main enzyme/substrate contacts. Subsequently MM-PBSA calculations using independent trajectories for the complexes and the free su...
متن کاملModifying the catalytic preference of tributyrin in Bacillus thermocatenulatus lipase through in-silico modeling of enzyme-substrate complex.
In this study, rational design for Bacillus thermocatenulatus lipase (BTL2) was carried out to lower the activation barrier for hydrolysis of short-chain substrates. In this design, we used computational models for the enzyme-substrate (ES) complexes of tributyrin (C4) and tricaprylin (C8), which were generated through docking and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. These ES complexes were emp...

AChE is an enzyme that is predominate in a healthy brain, while BChE is considered to play a minor role in regulating the levels of ACh (memory molecule) in the brain. In addition to setting the ACh level, these two enzymes also facilitate Aβ aggregation by forming stable complexes and participate in the abnormal phosphorylation of the tau protein, which also contribute to the development of Al...

M06-2X functional was employed to study halogen-π interactions in X-C2-Y…C8H8 complexes (X, Y=H, F, Cl, and Br). In fact, interactions of mono- or di-halogenated acetylenes and planar cyclooctatetraene as an anti-aromatic π system were considered. Relationship between binding energies of the complexes and charge transfer effects was investigated. Also, electronic charge density values were calc...
