Role of structural dynamics in selectivity and mechanism of non-heme Fe(II) and 2-oxoglutarate-dependent oxygenases involved in DNA repair

AlkB and its human homologue AlkBH2 are Fe(II)- and 2-oxoglutarate (2OG)-dependent oxygenases that repair alkylated DNA bases occurring as a consequence of reactions with mutagenic agents. We used molecular dynamics (MD) and combined quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) methods to investiga...
