Mechanism of Phosphate Release from Actin Filaments
Yihang Wang, Jiangbo Wu, Vilmos Zsolnay…·Gregory A. Voth
The paper uses molecular dynamics simulations to study phosphate release from actin filaments, identifying Mg2+ dissociation as the rate-limiting step and revealing the role of R177 in gate opening and occlusion.
