Quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics modeling of substrate-assisted catalysis in family 18 chitinases: Conformational changes and the role of Asp142 in catalysis in ChiB

Family 18 chitinases catalyze the hydrolysis of β-1,4-glycosidic bonds in chitin. The mechanism has been proposed to involve the formation of an oxazolinium ion intermediate via an unusual substrate-assisted mechanism, in which the substrate itself acts as an intramolecular nucleophile (instead of a...
