| Research Abstract |
Molecular mechanism of chemical-mechanical conversion of a reversible rotary motor protein, F1-ATPase, was revealed in electronic and atomic details through molecular simulations. Molecular mechanisms of catalysis of ATP hydrolysis and its regulation were elucidated by means of a hybrid quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical method. Based on the reaction profile revealed, a mutant enzyme with increased catalytic activity was designed theoretically. Molecular dynamics simulations unveiled in an atomic detail protein structural changes responsible for the motor motion.
