High-level ab initio quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical (QM/MM) modelling of citryl-CoA formation in citrate synthase reveals that an arginine residue acts as the proton donor; this proposed new mechanism helps to explain how chemical and large scale conformational changes are coupled in this paradigmatic enzyme.
对柠檬酸合酶中柠檬酰辅酶A形成的高水平从头算量子力学/分子力学(QM/MM)建模表明,一个精氨酸残基充当质子供体;这一提出的新机制有助于解释在这种典型酶中化学变化和大规模构象变化是如何耦合的。
