Computational enzymology.

Computer simulations and modelling can provide detailed, atomic-level insight into the fundamental mechanisms of biological catalysts and potential practical applications include interpretation of experimental data, catalyst design and drug development.

Computer Simulation of the Triosephosphate Isomerase Catalyzed Reaction (*)

The calculations clearly demonstrate the important catalytic effects associated with stabilization of charged high energy intermediates and reduction of reorganization energy, which are likely to be general principles of enzyme catalyzed charge transfer and separation reactions.

Computational Studies of Enzyme-Catalyzed Reactions: Where Are We in Predicting Mechanisms and in Understanding the Nature of Enzyme Catalysis?

Although the preorganization free energy contains a large entropic contribution, entropy effects on going from the enzyme−substrate noncovalent complex to the transition state for the reaction are expected to be generally small and not very different in enzyme and in solution.

How Enzymes Work: Analysis by Modern Rate Theory and Computer Simulations

A framework for understanding the effects of lowering of the activation free energy and changes in the generalized transmission coefficient on enzyme catalysis is presented, and the contributions of the different factors are identified and quantified by computer simulations.

Computational modeling of enzymatic keto-enol isomerization reactions

Abstract. Catalysis of proton abstraction from nonacidic carbon atoms adjacent to a carbonyl or carboxylate group is a fundamental reaction in enzymology that has been extensively studied during the

Quantum Mechanical Modeling: A Tool for the Understanding of Enzyme Reactions
