Enzyme dynamics during catalysis.
Internal protein dynamics are intimately connected to enzymatic catalysis. However, enzyme motions linked to substrate turnover remain largely unknown. We have studied dynamics of an enzyme during catalysis at atomic resolution using nuclear magnetic resonance relaxation methods. During catalytic action of the enzyme cyclophilin A, we detect conformational fluctuations of the active site that o...
متن کاملEvolutionarily Conserved Linkage between Enzyme Fold, Flexibility, and Catalysis
Proteins are intrinsically flexible molecules. The role of internal motions in a protein's designated function is widely debated. The role of protein structure in enzyme catalysis is well established, and conservation of structural features provides vital clues to their role in function. Recently, it has been proposed that the protein function may involve multiple conformations: the observed de...
متن کاملInternal Dynamics and Energetics during Enzyme Catalysis
Proteins have evolved to perform their targeted biochemical function precisely and efficiently. Growing evidence from experiments and computational approaches suggests an intimate synergy between an enzyme’s structure, intrinsic dynamics and biochemical function. In this thesis, we investigate the role of intrinsic dynamics in enzyme catalysis by developing novel theoretical and computational t...
متن کاملProtein conformational disorder and enzyme catalysis.
Though lacking a well-defined three-dimensional structure, intrinsically unstructured proteins are ubiquitous in nature. These molecules play crucial roles in many cellular processes, especially signaling and regulation. Surprisingly, even enzyme catalysis can tolerate substantial disorder. This observation contravenes conventional wisdom but is relevant to an understanding of how protein dynam...
متن کاملLinking Protein Motion to Enzyme Catalysis
Enzyme motions on a broad range of time scales can play an important role in various intra- and intermolecular events, including substrate binding, catalysis of the chemical conversion, and product release. The relationship between protein motions and catalytic activity is of contemporary interest in enzymology. To understand the factors influencing the rates of enzyme-catalyzed reactions, the ...
