Molecular Dynamics Revealing a Detour-Forward Release Mechanism of Tacrine: Implication for the Specific Binding Characteristics in Butyrylcholinesterase

Butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) is a non-specific enzyme with clinical pharmacological and toxicological significance, which was a renewed interest as therapeutic target in Alzheimer's disease (AD) nowadays. Here, all-atom molecular dynamics simulations of butyrylcholinesterase with tacrine comple...
