Computational study of the outer membrane enzyme OmpT

Supplementary information to published work

We recently published computational work on OmpT where we describe molecular dynamics simulations and docking of several tetra-peptides. [[Baaden 2004]] We refined one of the OmpT-ARRA complexes to examine the interactions of the enzyme with its substrate. Bearing in mind the simple docking procedure used and the approximate nature of the resulting complex, we provide a VRML model of the complex as supplementary information. It can be accessed via the link on the image below.
