Force field parameters for Fe <sup>2+</sup> <sub>4</sub> S <sup>2-</sup> <sub>4</sub> clusters of dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase, the 5-fluorouracil cancer drug deactivation protein: a step towards <i>in silico</i> pharmacogenomics studies
2021-04-21
Abstract excerpt
The dimeric dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) metalloenzyme, an adjunct anti-cancer drug target contains highly specialized 4 × Fe 2+ 4 S 2- 4 clusters per chain. These clusters facilitate the catalysis of the rate-limiting step in the pyrimidine degradation pathway through a harmonized electron transfer cascade that triggers a redox catabolic reaction. In the process, majority of administered 5-fluorouracil...
