The Role of Dynamics in Enzyme Activity

Daniel, R.M., Dunn, R.V., Finney, J.L., Smith, J.C.·2003·Annual Review of Biophysics and Biomolecular Structure

Abstract

▪ Abstract Although protein function is thought to depend on flexibility, precisely how the dynamics of the molecule and its environment contribute to catalytic mechanisms is unclear. We review experimental and computational work relating to enzyme dynamics and function, including the role of solvent. The evidence suggests that fast motions on the 100 ps timescale, and any motions coupled to these, are not required for enzyme function. Proteins where the function is electron transfer, proton tunneling, or ligand binding may have different dynamical dependencies from those for enzymes, and enzymes with large turnover numbers may have different dynamical dependencies from those that turn over more slowly. The timescale differences between the fastest anharmonic fluctuations and the barrier-crossing rate point to the need to develop methods to resolve the range of motions present in enzymes on different time- and lengthscales.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
