Abstract

Crystal structures of Thermus thermophilus and Bacillus subtilis type 2 IPP isomerases were combined to generate an almost complete model of the FMN-bound structure of the enzyme. In contrast to previous studies, positions of flexible loops were obtained and carefully analyzed by molecular dynamics. Docking simulations find a unique putative binding site for the IPP substrate.
