Abstract excerpt
The mechanism and potential energy surface for the Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of acetone with hydrogen peroxide catalyzed by a Ser105-Ala mutant of Candida antarctica Lipase B has been determined using ab initio and density functional theories. Initial substrate binding has been studied using an automated docking procedure and molecular dynamics simulations. Substrates were found to bind to the active site of the...
