1TDC, 1TDB, 1TDA, 2TDD - PubMed Abstract: 
Thymidylate synthase undergoes a major conformational change upon ligand binding, where the carboxyl terminus displays the largest movement (approximately 4 A). This movement from an "open" unliganded state to the "closed" complexed conformation plays a ...
