Abstract excerpt
The role of conformational ensembles in enzymatic reactions remains unclear. Discussion concerning "induced fit" versus "conformational selection" has, however, ignored detoxication enzymes, which exhibit catalytic promiscuity. These enzymes dominate drug metabolism and determine drug-drug interactions. The detoxication enzyme glutathione transferase A1-1 (GSTA1-1), exploits a molten globule-like active site to...
