Abstract excerpt
The reaction mechanisms of two inhibitors TFK+ and TFK0 binding to both the wild-type and H447I mutant mouse acetylcholinesterase (mAChE) have been investigated by using a combined ab initio quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical (QM/MM) approach and classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. In the wild-type mAChE, the binding reactions of TFK+ and TFK0 are both spontaneous processes, which proceed through...
