Structures of maltohexaose and maltoheptaose bound at the donor sites of cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase give insight into the mechanisms of transglycosylation activity and cyclodextrin size specificity.
The enzymes from the alpha-amylase family all share a similar alpha-retaining catalytic mechanism but can have different reaction and product specificities. One family member, cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase (CGTase), has an uncommonly high transglycosylation activity and is able to form cyclodextrins. We have determined the 2.0 and 2.5 A X-ray structures of E257A/D229A CGTase in complex with ...
متن کاملDoes changing the pulling direction give better insight into biomolecules?
Single-molecule manipulation techniques reveal that the mechanical resistance of a protein depends on the direction of the applied force. Using a lattice model of polymers, we show that changing the pulling direction leads to different phase diagrams. The simple model proposed here indicates that in one case the system undergoes a transition akin to the unzipping of a beta sheet, while in the o...
متن کاملMolecular Dynamics Simulations of Guest – Host Hydrogen Bonding in Structure I, Ii, and H Clathrate Hydrates
The standard picture is that clathrate hydrates form when hydrophobic guest molecules are compressed with water under high pressure-low temperature conditions. In the ice-like hydrate framework, water molecules form molecule-sized cavities that encapsulate the guests and minimize water-hydrophobic guest interactions. This picture, however, must be modified by observations that many water solubl...
متن کاملOn the hydrates of codeine phosphate: the remarkable influence of hydrogen bonding on the crystal size.
Codeine phosphate forms three hydrates and two anhydrates. The sesquihydrate and hemihydrate, which differ by one water molecule, are stable at room temperature. The influence of this molecule on the internal crystal structure and how it translates into the external crystal shape are reported.
متن کاملA molecular dynamics study of guest-host hydrogen bonding in alcohol clathrate hydrates.
Clathrate hydrates are typically stabilized by suitably sized hydrophobic guest molecules. However, it has been experimentally reported that isomers of amyl-alcohol C5H11OH can be enclosed into the 5(12)6(4) cages in structure II (sII) clathrate hydrates, even though the effective radii of the molecules are larger than the van der Waals radii of the cages. To reveal the mechanism of the anomalo...
