EcoRV catalysis with a pre-bent substrate

Enzymes are deformable molecules which often adapt their conformation to the substrate’s geometry. In the case of restriction enzymes acting on DNA, the substrate (DNA) is deformable also. While it is well established that external mechanical stress exerted on an enzyme modulates the enzymatic activ...
