<i>In Silico</i> Analysis of Phosphomannomutase-2 Dimer Interface Stability and Heterodimerization with Phosphomannomutase-1 by Bruno Hay Mele, Jessica Bovenzi, Giuseppina Andreotti, Maria Vittoria Cubellis, Maria Monticelli

“…The disease is associated with a spectrum of pathogenic missense mutations, particularly at residues involved in dimerization and catalytic function (i.e., p.Phe119Leu and p.Arg141His). The dimerization of PMM2 is considered essential for enzymatic activity, although it remains unclear whether this supports structural stability alone, or whether both subunits are catalytically active—a distinction that may affect how mutations in each monomer contribute to overall enzyme function and disease phenotype. …”
