Abstract excerpt
Chiral discrimination in biological systems, such as L-amino acids in proteins and d-sugars in nucleic acids, has been proposed to depend on various mechanisms, and chiral discrimination by mutated enzymes mediating cancer cell signaling is important in current research. We have explored how mutated isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of isocitrate to α-ketoglutarate which in...
