Computer Model Reveals Changes in Glucocerebrosidase Function in Certain Gaucher Mutations

Using machine-learning approaches, researchers unraveled how certain mutations in the GBA gene — responsible for Gaucher disease — affect the function of the glucocerebrosidase enzyme at the molecular level. The study with that finding, “Mechanism of glucocerebrosidase activation and dysfunction in Gaucher disease unraveled by molecular dynamics and deep…
