Abstract excerpt
We showed that the alpha-CH(2) --> NH substitution in octanoyl-CoA alters the ground and transition state energies for the binding of the CoA ligands to medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (MCAD), and such an effect is caused by a small electrostatic difference between the ligands. To ascertain the extent that the electrostatic contribution of the ligand structure and/or the enzyme site environment modulates the...
