Structure and Function in Homodimeric Enzymes: Simulations of Cooperative and Independent Functional Motions.

Large-scale conformational change is a common feature in the catalytic cycles of enzymes. Many enzymes function as homodimers with active sites that contain elements from both chains. Symmetric and anti-symmetric cooperative motions in homodimers can potentially lead to correlated active site openin...
