TL;DR: Evidence of a PAM-induced allosteric mechanism revealed by microsecond molecular dynamics simulations is found and should enable control of CRISPR-Cas9 functionality.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ligand Exchange Mechanism on Thiolate Monolayer Protected Au25(SR)18 Nanoclusters
TL;DR: In this paper, a theoretical investigation of the ligand exchange process was performed for the Au25(SH)18− nanocluster with CH3SH as the incoming thiol ligand.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reaction Pathways for Water Oxidation to Molecular Oxygen Mediated by Model Cobalt Oxide Dimer and Cubane Catalysts
TL;DR: In this article, hybrid density functional theory calculations have been employed to investigate the water oxidation reaction on model cobalt oxide dimer and cubane complexes, and the electronic structure and energetics of these model compounds were thoroughly investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Theoretical Investigation of Water Oxidation Catalysis by a Model Manganese Cubane Complex
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used an in-silicon approach to study a manganese cubane complex with water-derived ligands for the water oxidation process, and found that Mn4O4(H2O)x(OH)y x = 4-8, y = 8-4 with water derived ligands.
