== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Conformational changes that gate the access of substrates or ligands to an active site are important features of enzyme function. In this report, we describe an unusual example of a structural rearrangement near a buried artificial cavity in cytochrome c peroxidase that occurs on binding protonated benzimidazole. A hinged main-chain rotation at two residues (Pro 190 and Asn 195) results in a surface loop rearrangement that opens a large solvent-accessible channel for the entry of ligands to an otherwise inaccessible binding site. The trapping of this alternate conformational state provides a unique view of the extent to which protein dynamics can allow small molecule penetration into buried protein cavities.

A ligand-gated, hinged loop rearrangement opens a channel to a buried artificial protein cavity.,Fitzgerald MM, Musah RA, McRee DE, Goodin DB Nat Struct Biol. 1996 Jul;3(7):626-31. PMID:8673607<ref>PMID:8673607</ref>
