Computer simulations explain the anomalous temperature optimum in a cold-adapted enzyme

Enzymes from organisms inhabiting cold environments (psychrophiles) have adapted to catalyzing chemical reactions at near freezing temperatures. Here – using molecular dynamics simulations – the authors analyze cold adaptation of psychrophilic α-amylase and provide the structural basis for its low a...

Computer simulations explain the anomalous temperature optimum in a cold-adapted enzyme
description Enzymes from organisms inhabiting cold environments (psychrophiles) have adapted to catalyzing chemical reactions at near freezing temperatures. Here – using molecular dynamics simulations – the authors analyze cold adaptation of psychrophilic α-amylase and provide the structural basis for its low anomalous temperature optimum: the increased mobility of a surface loop involved in substrate interaction.
