Molecular relaxation and metalloenzyme active site modeling

Metalloenzymes represent a broad class of important biomolecules containing an essential metal ion cofactor in their catalytic active sites, forming biologic metal complexes that perform a wide range of important functions: activation of small molecules (O2, N2, H2, CO), atom transfer chemistry, and...
