The AQUA-DUCT was used to study Hyperthermophilic Pyrococcus furiosus Phosphoglucose Isomerase. Recent paper was published in  Biomolecules 2019, 9(6), 212. The cupin-type phosphoglucose isomerase (PfPGI) from the hyperthermophilic archaeon Pyrococcus furiosuscatalyzes the reversible isomerization of glucose-6-phosphate to fructose-6-phosphate. We investigated PfPGI using protein-engineering bioinformatics tools to select functionally-important residues based on correlated mutation analyses. A pair of amino acids in the periphery of

AQUA-DUCT event

AQUA-DUCT will be presented during School on molecular computational biochemistry  that will take on 11-14 March place in the Jerzy Haber Institute of Catalysis and Surface Chemistry in Kraków. 

AQUA-DUCT event

AQUA-DUCT was presented on FEBS congress during speed-talk session Biochemistry and Signaling held on Monday, July 9, 2018. To facilitate analysis of the behaviour of water (and if necessary other solvent molecules or ligands) we have developed AQUA-DUCT. Here we would like to provide an example of its usage for analysis of water transportation in selected enzymes (epoxide hydrolases
