摘要
Urease catalyzes the decomposition of urea to ammonium and carbamate ions by its active site which contains two nickel(II) atoms. Here we report the results of a molecular dynamics investigation performed on a system constituted of the cavity of the enzyme and one hydroxamic acid molecule which acts as an inhibitor of the protein. The results agree with experimental data and represent a valid starting point for the design of more efficient urease inhibitors. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.
