Computational Investigation of the Interplay of Substrate Positioning and Reactivity in Catechol O-Methyltransferase

Catechol O-methyltransferase (COMT) is a SAM- and Mg(2+)-dependent methyltransferase that regulates neurotransmitters through methylation. Simulations and experiments have identified divergent catecholamine substrate orientations in the COMT active site: molecular dynamics simulations have favored a...
