Enumerating pathways of proton abstraction based on a spatial and electrostatic analysis of residues in the catalytic site.

The pathways of proton abstraction (PA), a key aspect of most catalytic reactions, is often controversial and highly debated. Ultrahigh-resolution diffraction studies, molecular dynamics, quantum mechanics and molecular mechanic simulations are often adopted to gain insights in the PA mechanisms in...
