Abstract excerpt
While protein activity is traditionally studied with a major focus on the active site, the activity of enzymes has been hypothesized to be linked to the flexibility of adjacent regions, warranting more exploration into how the dynamics in these regions affects catalytic turnover. One such enzyme is Xylanase A (XylA), which cleaves hemicellulose xylan polymers by hydrolysis at internal β-1,4-xylosidic linkages. It...
