| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Reaction mechanisms of the threonine synthase (ThrS) were theoretically investigated by using the mixed quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) and classical molecular dynamics methods. By utilizing the supercomputers, long time scale CMD (total 3 micro sec) were performed and important protein-substrate interactions and free energy changes were elucidated. Significantly, conformational changes on the active site molecules (PLP, water and amino acid residues) were observed depending on the intermediate states. It was also shown that the anion important for the product assisted mechanism plays important role to construct active site conformations. These results clearly indicate that precise structural controls optimized for the reactions are performed in ThrS. This reaction control mechanism provides valuable insights for other reaction mechanisms and functional modifications.
