In this thesis, we investigate how protein structure links to conformational dynamics and how enzyme catalysis can be controlled by changing the protein conformation, by employing multi-scale molecular simulations and integrating them with biochemical and biophysical experiments. We study the conformational switching and catalysis of the ATP-dependent chaperone Hsp90, the tyrosine kinase c-Src, and the GTPase Rab32, as well as the reactivity of the Fe(II)-dependent dioxygenase AsqJ and of a biomimetic iron complex.
