  • Investigation across different pH values and temperatures.

    • Main Results:

    • A conserved breathing-like molecular motion was identified across various trypsin structures.
    • Directional motion indicates changes in substrate-binding cleft width and specificity pocket length.
    • Motion directionality is influenced by substrate/inhibitor binding mode and active-site chemical environment.

    Conclusions:

    • Anisotropic atomic displacement analysis reveals functionally relevant enzyme motion.
    • Observed dynamics reflect spatial rearrangements during the deacylation pathway.
    • Conserved motion highlights evolutionary adaptation in trypsin active site function.
