Abstract
⺠MD simulations of psychrophilic and mesophilic α-amylases were carried out. ⺠We calculated protein conformational entropy changes upon substrate bindings. ⺠The entropy changes were decomposed into contributions of individual amino acids. ⺠Differences of entropy changes are found to be attributed to the insertion residues. ⺠Difference in the entropy change well explains the temperature dependences.
