Abstract excerpt
Combined quantum mechanics and molecular mechanics (QM/MM) calculations were carried out to characterize the reaction mechanism of the NS3 protease with its preferred substrate (NS5A/5B). The main purpose of this study was to locate the barrier states and intermediates along the distinguished coordinate path (DCP) involved in this process. These structures, and in particular the one corresponding to the first...
