1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Elucidating the relationship between the folding landscape of enzymes and their catalytic power has been one of the challenges of modern enzymology. The present work explores this issue by using a simplified folding model to generate the free-energy landscape of an enzyme and then to evaluate the activation barriers for the chemical step in different regions of the landscape. This approach is used to investigate the recent finding that an engineered monomeric chorismate mutase exhibits catalytic efficiency similar to the naturally occurring dimer even though it exhibits the properties of an intrinsically disordered molten globule. It is found that the monomer becomes more confined than its native-like counterpart upon ligand binding but still retains a wider catalytic region. Although the overall rate acceleration is still determined by reduction of the reorganization energy, the detailed contribution of different barriers yields a more complex picture for the chemical process than that of a single path. This work provides insight into the relationship between folding landscapes and catalysis. The computational approach used here may also provide a powerful strategy for modeling single-molecule experiments and designing enzymes.
