Binding of calcium and other metal ions to the EF-hand loops of calmodulin studied by quantum chemical calculations and molecular dynamics simulations
Article Abstract:
Density functional theory (DFT) quantum chemical calculations and molecular dynamics simulations are used for studying the metal specificity of the four [Ca.sup.2+]-binding loops of calmodulin (CaM). The results have shown that the total binding energy has depended on a delicate balance among the energy components.

Quantum chemical investigation of enzymatic activity of DNA polymerase beta. A mechanistic study
Article Abstract:
Two potential reaction pathways for DNA polymerase beta are explored by means of density functional theory. The first mechanism involves the formation of a PO3 intermediate, while second mechanism depicts the feasibility of pentacoordinated intermediate.
