molecular mechanics and dynamics simulations. The ribose release process can be divided into ribose dissociation and ribose release steps The ribose dissociation includes cleavage and exchange stages, in which a metastable 6fold intermediate will recover to an 8fold coordination shell of Ca2+ . The estimated barrier for the rate-determining step of the entire reaction is 13.0 kcal/mol, which is comparable to the experimental value of 16.7 kcal/mol. The gating mechanism arising from loop1 and loop2, as well as key residues around the active pocket, plays an important role in manipulating the ribose release
