Conformation- and Compound-Dependence of Ribose/2′-Deoxyribose Retention Patterns in Pyrimidine-Nucleoside Phosphorylase from Bacillus subtilis: A Four-Structure Molecular Dynamics Study
This study clarifies how the retention, contact, and sugar preference of these structural probes depend on the conformational state and does not directly reproduce the experimentally reported ribose-donor selectivity.
