Abstract excerpt
SAM riboswitches, the most abundant type of riboswitch, are classified into eight classes. SAM-VI differs from all other known SAM riboswitch classes by adopting a unique fold and ligand pocket. To elucidate the cooperative structural dynamic effects of ligands, Mg2+, and the U6C mutation on SAM-VI, we carried out extensive MD simulations totaling 128 μs. Free energy decomposition identified four key nucleotides...
