How do mutations affect the structural characteristics and substrate binding of CYP21A2? An investigation by molecular dynamics simulations.

Abstract excerpt

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is one of the most frequent inborn errors of metabolism, inherited as an autosomal recessive trait. Above 95% of CAH cases are caused by mutations in cytochrome P450 21A2 (CYP21A2). It is a pity that how these mutations affect the structural characteristics and substrate binding of CYP21A2 is still unclear. To this end, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and binding free...
