Computational Approaches for Understanding and Redesigning Enzyme Catalysis by Karvelis, Elijah

“…These variations in mutant activity on AHB were explained by analysis of WT-AHB simulations, which showed that only some of the structural mechanisms related to enhanced ACL catalysis transferred to, and thereby facilitated, AHB catalysis. This thesis highlights the influence of conformational states that are visited during the dynamics of substrate turnover and their role on enzyme catalysis, and it furthermore suggests a framework with which researchers may consider and apply these effects when engineering catalytic function.…”
