Abstract excerpt
AIMS: This study explores the unbinding dynamics of alpha-ketoglutarate (AKG) from wild-type and mutant IDH1/IDH2 enzymes through steered molecular dynamics (SMD) simulations, examining how mutations influence binding, stability and enzymatic behaviour. BACKGROUND: Isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) enzymes are essential for cellular metabolism, catalyzing the conversion of isocitrate to AKG in the tricarboxylic acid...
