Abstract excerpt
The mechanism of the hydrolysis reaction of guanosine triphosphate (GTP) by the protein complex Ras-GAP (p21(ras) - p120(GAP)) has been modeled by the quantum mechanical-molecular mechanical (QM/MM) and ab initio quantum calculations. Initial geometry configurations have been prompted by atomic coordinates of a structural analog (PDBID:1WQ1). It is shown that the minimum energy reaction path is consistent with an...
