Abstract excerpt
A wide variety of purine- and pyrimidine-based nucleotides can serve as a substrate for actomyosin mechanics, but with varying effectiveness. To understand the myosin-ATP interaction and in particular, the interactions with the base, we have used molecular dynamics simulations to model the interactions of myosin with ATP, CTP, UTP, aza-ATP, ITP, and GTP (in decreasing order of effectiveness as a substrate for the...
