The transient opening of a backdoor in the active-site wall of acetylcholinesterase, one of nature's most rapid enzymes, has been suggested to contribute to the efficient traffic of substrates and products. A crystal structure of Torpedo californica acetylcholinesterase in complex with the periphera
A 1 ns molecular dynamics simulation of unliganded mouse acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is compared to a previous simulation of mouse AChE complexed with huperzine A (HupA). Several common features are observed. In both simulations, the active site gorge fluctuates in size during the 1 ns trajectory an
In actin-based cell motility, phosphate (P i ) release after ATP hydrolysis is an essential biochemical process, but the actual pathway of P i separation from actin is not well understood. We report a series of molecular dynamics simulations that induce the dissociation of P i from actin. After clea
