Emergent mechanistic diversity of enzyme-catalysed β-diketone cleavage
The enzymatic cleavage of C–C bonds in β-diketones is, comparatively, a little studied biochemical process, but one that has important relevance to human metabolism, bioremediation and preparative biocatalysis. In recent studies, four types of enzymes have come to light that cleave C–C bonds in the β-diketone functionality using different chemical mechanisms. OPH [oxidized poly(vinyl alcohol) h...
متن کاملMechanistic divergence of two closely related aldol-like enzyme-catalysed reactions.
The analysis of the interaction of threose 4-phosphate and 2-deoxyerythrose 4-phosphate with 3-deoxy-D-arabino-heptulosonate 7-phosphate synthase (DAH7PS) reveals previously unrecognised mechanistic differences between the DAH7PS-catalysed reaction and that catalysed by the closely related enzyme, 3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonate 8-phosphate synthase (KDO8PS).
متن کاملEnzyme catalysed tandem reactions.
To transfer to the laboratory, the excellent efficiency shown by enzymes in Nature, biocatalysis, had to mimic several synthetic strategies used by the living organisms. Biosynthetic pathways are examples of tandem catalysis and may be assimilated in the biocatalysis field for the use of isolated multi-enzyme systems in the homogeneous phase. The concurrent action of several enzymes that work s...
متن کاملLead-catalysed specific cleavage of ribosomal RNAs.
Ribosomes have long been known to require divalent metal ions for their functional integrity. Pb2+-induced cleavage of the sugar-phosphate backbone has now been used to probe for metal binding sites in rRNA. Only three prominent Pb2+cleavages have been detected, with cleavage sites 5' of G240 in 16S rRNA and two sites 5' of A505 and C2347 in 23S rRNA. All cleavages occur in non-paired regions o...
متن کاملThermodynamics of Enzyme-Catalysed Reactions
Since the pH is treated as an independent variable in biochemical thermodynamics, the Gibbs energy G does not provide the criterion for equilibrium, but the transformed Gibbs energy G’ does. The standard transformed Gibbs energy of formation DfG’ of a reactant (sum of species) can be calculated at the desired temperature, pH, and ionic strength if the standard Gibbs energies of formation DfG an...
