Abstract:Experiments revealed that cytochrome P450 2C8 enzyme (CYP2C8) has two distinct substrate binding sites to the physiologically important molecules, retinoic acids, and the main difference between these two binding sites is whether there is a salt bridge interaction between the anionic carboxylate tail of retinoic acids and the surrounding protein environment. However, the influence of such salt bridge interaction toward catalysis is still elusive. In the present paper, density functional theory (DFT) calculatio… Show more
