Reaction Gorge Fluctuation in Acetylcholinesterase (AChE)

Scientists Huan-Xiang Zhou, Stanislaw Wlodek, and Andrew McCammon created this animation showing "the 'breathing' motions of the gorge or channel that leads from the region outside the enzyme Acetylcholinesterase (AChE), to the active site." The enzyme AChE controls the communication among nerve and muscle cells. This animation demonstrates, for the first time, the role of molecular dynamics in...

University College London: Enzyme Structures Database

This website features the Enzyme Structures Database, created by researchers Roman Laskowski and Andrew Wallace of the University College London. The database "contains the known enzyme structures that have been deposited in the Brookhaven Protein Data Bank (the PDB)." As of March 2003 the Brookhaven Protein Data Bank contained 10208 PDB-enzyme entries "involving 9873 separate PDB files - some...
