QM/MM free energy Simulations of an efficient Gluten Hydrolase (Kuma030) Implicate for a Reactant-State Based Protein-Design Strategy for General Acid/Base Catalysis

Abstract It is a grand attraction for contemporary biochemists to computationally design enzymes for novel chemical transformation or improved catalytic efficiency. Rosetta by Baker et al. is no doubt the leading software in the protein design society. Generally, optimization of the transition state...
