the interaction between the solute and the solsent molecules play a crucial role in understanding the various molecular processes involved in chemistry and biochemistry, so in this work the potential energy of active site of azurin have been calculated in solvent by the monte carlo simulation. in this paper we present quantitative results of monte carlo calculations of potential energies of ...

To provide molecular-level insights into the spontaneous replication error and the mismatch discrimination mechanisms of human DNA polymerase β (polβ), we report four crystal structures of polβ complexed with dG•dTTP and dA•dCTP mismatches in the presence of Mg2+ or Mn2+. The Mg(2+)-bound ground-state structures show that the dA•dCTP-Mg2+ complex adopts an 'intermediate' protein conformation wh...
