Abstract excerpt
Human catechol-O-methyltransferase, a key enzyme related to neurotransmitter metabolism, catalyses a methyl transfer from S-adenosylmethionine to catechol. Although extensive studies aim to understand the enzyme mechanisms, the connection of protein dynamics and enzyme catalysis is still not clear. Here, W38in (Trp143Phe) and W38in/Y68A (Trp143Phe with Tyr68Ala) mutants were carried out to study the relationship...
