Abstract excerpt
Molecular dynamics (MD) and free energy perturbation (FEP) methods are used to study the binding and mechanism of isomerization of a tetrapeptide (AcAAPFNMe) by FK506 binding protein (FKBP). Detailed structures are predicted for the complexes of FKBP with the peptide in both ground-state and transition-state forms. The results support a mechanism of catalysis by distortion, where a large number of nonbonded...
