Binding of partners and mutations highly affects the conformational dynamics KRAS4B, which is significance for deeply understanding its function. Gaussian accelerated molecular (GaMD) simulations followed by deep learning (DL) principal component analysis (PCA) were carried out to probe effect G12C binding three NF1, RAF1, SOS1 on conformation alterations KRAS4B. DL reveals that result in contacts key structure domains, such as switch domains SW1 SW2 together with loops L4, L5, P-loop. constrains structural fluctuation SW1, SW2, L5; contrary, leads instability these four domains. The analyses free energy landscapes (FELs) PCA also show maintains stability states KRAS4B while induces greater mobility produces significant impacts interactions GTP L5. Our findings suggest partner play important roles activity allosteric regulation may theoretically aid further function

Regio- and enantioselective hydroxylation of free fatty acids by human cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1) plays an important role in metabolic regulation has significant pathological implications. Despite extensive research, the detailed mechanism CYP2E1 remains incompletely understood. To clarify origins regioselectivity enantioselectivity observed for CYP2E1-mediated acid hydroxylation, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) calculations were performed. MD provided key insights into proximity arachidonic acid's carbon atoms to reactive iron(IV)-oxo moiety compound I (Cpd I), with ω-1 position being closest, indicating higher reactivity at this site. QM/MM identified hydrogen abstraction as rate-determining step, ω-1S transition state exhibiting lowest energy barrier, consistent experimentally enantioselectivity. Energy decomposition analysis revealed that variations mechanical (ΔEQM) significantly influence reaction barriers, most efficient occurring ω-2R positions. These findings underscore importance substrate positioning within active site determining product selectivity. Comparisons two related P450s, P450BM3 P450SPα, further highlighted critical architecture modulating While surrounding residues do not directly dictate selectivity, they shape environment positioning. Furthermore, our a previously unrecognized catalytic Ala299. provide deeper mechanistic understanding offer valuable its precise engineering targeted C-H functionalization.

In the Ras/Raf/MAPK signaling pathway, Ras and Raf proteins interact synergistically to form a tetrameric complex. NMR experiments have demonstrated that dimerizes in solution binds stably Raf, forming Ras·Raf complexes. this study, we constructed ternary quaternary complexes of KRas CRaf based on crystal structures, denoted as (KRas)2·CRaf (KRas)2·(CRaf)2, respectively. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were performed investigate stability these complexes, while hydrogen bonds well salt bridges formed at protein–protein interaction interfaces analyzed simulation trajectories. The results revealed KRas·CRaf complex is more stable explicit solvent compared with dimer. Formation (KRas)2·(CRaf)2 might be attributed association two binary Additionally, MD KRasG12D·CRaf extended binding site KRas–CRaf interface. This was identified potential therapeutic target block abnormal signal transmission pathway.

The activity of the enzyme JAK3 is modulated by tyrosine phosphorylation, yet underlying molecular details remain not fully understood. In this study, we employed a GaMD trajectory-based Markov model and correlation network analysis (CNA) to investigate impact single phosphorylation (SP) at Y980 (pY980) double (DP) Y980/Y981 (pY980/pY981) on conformational dynamics bound inhibitors IZA MI1. indicated that both SP DP result in fewer states significantly influence P-loop, αC-helix, loop1-loop3, while maintaining hinge region's high rigidity. CNA findings revealed alters communication among different structural regions JAK3, providing rational explanation for how affects distant P-loop loop1-loop3. Moreover, changes mediated further affect interactions between hot spots (L828, V836, E903, Y904, L905, L956) JAK3. This work offers valuable theoretical insights into mechanisms regulate activity.
