The structure and dynamics of water molecule networks underlie catalytic efficiency in a glycoside exo-hydrolase

Abstract Glycoside hydrolases break glycosidic bonds by transferring a water molecule onto the glycosidic oxygen of carbohydrates, but on the nanoscale, the dynamics of water molecules remains unclear. We investigate the role of the non-nucleophilic E220 glutamate, essential for maintaining the wate...
