Understanding a substrate's product regioselectivity in a family of enzymes: a case study of acetaminophen binding in cytochrome P450s.

Product regioselectivity as influenced by molecular recognition is a key aspect of enzyme catalysis. We applied large-scale two-dimensional (2D) umbrella sampling (USP) simulations to characterize acetaminophen (APAP) binding in the active sites of the family of Cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes as a ca...
