Despite extensive research over the past three decades, there are still uncertainties regarding the catalytic mechanism of human chitotriosidase-1. To fill the gap, we reanalysed the structural information available for this enzyme. Based on the existing and new experimental data, complemented by multi-scale simulations, we modelled the full-length structure of human chitotriosidase-1 and proposed the general model of its catalytic mechanism. We have elucidated the catalytic role of the four highly conserved structural motifs present in glycoside hydrolases 18 family and demonstrated the impact of ions on achieving optimal catalytic conditions. Furthermore, we have identified distinct mechanical motions within the catalytic domain that collectively facilitate the catalysis. Finally, we demonstrate how subtle dynamical changes observed within the active site upon binding of the OATD-01 inhibitor correspond to long-range effects that are transmitted across enzyme subunits, leading to profound biological consequences.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
