RESUMO
Cytochrome P450 OleP catalytic activity is strongly influenced by its structural dynamic conformational behavior. Here, we combine equilibrium-binding experiments with all-atom molecular dynamics simulations to clarify how different environments affect OleP conformational equilibrium between the open and the closed-catalytic competent-forms. Our data clearly show that at high-ionic strength conditions, the closed form is favored, and, very interestingly, different mechanisms, depending on the chemistry of the cations, can be used to rationalize such an effect.
