Molecular dynamics simulation of cyclodextrin inclusion complexes in enzymatic lipid hydrolysis

Summary

Cyclodextrin derivatives can increase the enzymatic hydrolysis of triolein in aqueous solution. Two types of cyclodextrin inclusion complexes could be responsible for this effect. In the present study, molecular dynamics simulations clearly suggest that cyclodextrin hosts only the liberated fatty acid thus accelerating lipolysis by decreasing product inhibition.
