Abstract excerpt
The role of Thr729 in modulating the enzymatic function of human topoisomerase I has been characterized by molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. In detail, the structural-dynamical behaviour of the Thr729Lys and the Thr729Pro mutants have been characterized because of their in vivo and in vitro functional properties evidenced in the accompanying paper. Both mutants can bind to the DNA substrate and are...
