Rapid Heme Transfer Reactions between NEAr Transporter Domains of Staphylococcus aureus: A Theoretical Study Using QM/MM and MD Simulations

In vertebrates, most iron is present as heme or is chelated by proteins. Thus, Gram-positive pathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus have evolved an iron-regulated surface determinant (Isd) system that transports heme across thick cell walls into the cytoplasm. Recent studies have demonstrated that...
