Abstract excerpt
The active-site dynamics of arginine deiminase (ADI) complexed with the arginine substrate are investigated with ns molecular dynamics for the wildtype ADI and several mutants. It is shown that the substrate is held in the active site by an extensive hydrogen bond network, which may be weakened by substitution of active-site residues. In addition, the initial step of the catalysis is explored in several truncated...
