The present study aims at numerically describing to what extent substrate - enzyme complexes in solution may change over time as a natural process of conformational changes for a liganded enzyme in comparison to those movements which occur independently from substrate interaction, i.e. without a ligand. To this end, we selected structurally known pairs of liganded / unliganded CYP450 3A4 enzymes with different geometries hinting at induced fit events. We carried out molecular dynamics simulations (MD) comparing the trajectories in a cross-over protocol: (i) we added the ligand to the unliganded crystal form which should adopt geometries similar to the known geometry of the liganded crystal structure during MD, and - conversely - (ii) we removed the bound ligand form the known liganded complex to test if a geometry similar to the known unliganded (apo-) form can be adopted during MD. To compare continues changes we measured root means square deviations and frequencies. Results for case (i) hint at larger conformational changes required for accepting the substrate during its approach to final position - in contrast to case (ii) when mobility is fairly reduced by ligand binding (strain energy). In conclusion, a larger conformational sampling prior to ligand binding and the freezing-in (rigidity) of conformations for bound ligands can be interpreted as two conditions linked to induced-fit.
