Abstract excerpt
The two-metal catalysis by the adenylyl cyclase domain of the anthrax edema factor toxin was simulated using the empirical valence bond (EVB) quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical approach. These calculations considered the energetics of the nucleophile deprotonation and the formation of a new P-O bond in aqueous solution and in the enzyme-substrate complex present in the crystal structure models of the...
