Abstract excerpt
One of the key glycolytic enzymes, pyruvate kinase (PKM2), is frequently found in mutated forms in cancer cells. While many have investigated the impact of the mutations on tumor size and progressions, their structural effects on the architecture of PKM2 have not been thoroughly studied. We examined 11 mutants using MD simulations and assessed their effects on structural dynamics, domain flexibility, and...
