Understanding the interactions of different substrates with wild-type and mutant acylaminoacyl peptidase using molecular dynamics simulations.

Abstract excerpt

Acylaminoacylpeptidase (AAP) belongs to peptidase protein family, which can degrade amyloid β-peptide forms in the brains of patients, and hence leads to Alzheimer's disease. And so, AAP is considered to be a novel target in the design of drugs against Alzheimer's disease. In this investigation, six molecular dynamics simulations were used to find that the interaction between the wild-type and R526V AAP with two...
