Abstract excerpt
Investigations of enzyme action typically focus on elucidating the catalytic roles of hydrogen bonding interactions between polar active-site residues and substrate molecules. Less clear is the importance of non-hydrogen bonding contacts to enzymatic rate accelerations. To investigate the importance of such interactions in a model system, six residues that participate in van der Waals contacts with substrate...
