QM/MM study of the stereospecific proton exchange of glutathiohydroxyacetone by glyoxalase I
We have performed quantum mechanics (QM), molecular mechanics (MM) and hybrid QM/MM calculations to study the stereospecific proton exchange of glutathiohydroxyacetone (HOC-SG) by glyoxalase I (GlxI). We did the QM/MM calculations with a large QM system (246 atoms) to investigate the proton-exchange mechanism. Moreover, single-point big-QM energies with 1303 atoms in the big QM system and 22,412 a
