Molecular dynamics investigations of oligosaccharides recognized by family 16 and 22 carbohydrate binding modules
Literature Information

As a non-catalytic domain, carbohydrate binding modules (CBMs) are often considered to play some key roles in the degradation and recognition of polysaccharides catalyzed by cellulases. In this work, we investigated the recognition dynamics of cello- or xylo-saccharides by two typical CBMs (CBM16-1 and CBM22-2), which are grouped into Type B CBMs. By combining extensive molecular dynamics, principle component analysis, and binding free energy calculations, we constructed several complex models of the two CBMs in both complex cello- and xylo-oligosaccharides. The corresponding substrate recognition affinity and critical residues having significant contributions were systematically investigated. The residues containing aromatic side chain groups were shown to contribute significantly to substrate binding. The calculated binding free energies were in fairly good agreement with the experimental measurements with the absolute mean error of 0.69 kcal mol−1. The overall electrostatic interactions were shown to have negative effects on substrate recognition. Further metadynamics simulations revealed the substrate dissociation process.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
