Dynamics of APO and EcAII-ASP. Root-mean-square deviation of atomic positions along the simulation: (a) on all Cα of l-asparaginase without (APO) and with l-Asp present in the catalytic site. (b) Same as a without the Cα that belong to the catalytic loop. (c) Catalytic loop without l-Asp in the catalytic site (APO form). (d) Same as (c) with l-Asp in the catalytic site (HOLO form). (e) and (f) Distance Fluctuation matrices for EcAII with (f) and without (e) l-Asp in the catalytic site.
