Abstract excerpt
Organisms that live in constantly cold environments have to adapt their metabolism to low temperatures, but mechanisms of enzymatic adaptation to cold environments are not fully understood. Cold active trypsin catalyses reactions more efficiently and binds ligands more strongly in comparison to warm active trypsin. We have addressed this issue by means of comparative free energy calculations studying the binding...
