Gamma glutamyl semialdehyde dehydrogenase: simulations on native and mutant forms support the importance of outer shell lysines.

Abstract excerpt

Our computer simulations of gamma glutamyl semialdehyde dehydrogenase (GGSALDH, pyrroline 5-carboxylate dehydrogenase, ALDH4) were initiated from the Thermus thermophilus crystal structures in an effort to understand the effects of a seemingly subtle mutation. In humans, a natural S352L mutation gives rise to type II hyperprolinemia (mental retardation). The mutation occurs in what might be a priori considered...
