A theoretical study at the level of the density functional theory (DFT) was performed to characterize noncovalent intermolecular interactions, especially hydrogen bond interactions, in the active site of enzyme human androsterone sulphotransferase (SULT2A1/ADT).
Results revealed that androsterone (ADT) is able to form hydrogen bonds with residues Ser80, Ile82, and His99 of the active site.
Also, ADT involves in electrostatic and Van der Waals interactions with residues Phe18, Pro43, Lys44, Trp72, Phe133, and Trp134 of this active site.
