Abstract excerpt
Cytochrome P450cam is capable of reductively dehalogenating several chlorinated alkanes at low, but measurable, rates. In previous investigations of structure-function relationships in this enzyme using molecular dynamics simulations, we noticed that 1,1,1-trichloroethane (TCA) exhibits a very high degree of mobility in the active site due to its smaller molecular volume relative to the native substrate,...
