Enzymatic transition state theory and transition state analogue design.
The incredible catalytic rate enhancements caused by enzymes led Linus Pauling (1) to suggest that enzymes bind tightly to substrates distorted toward the transition state, thereby concentrating them and enforcing catalysis. Wolfenden (2) explained that chemically stable analogues that resemble the transition state would be expected to bind more tightly than substrate by factors resembling the ...
متن کاملArtificial Affinity Proteins as Ligands of Immunoglobulins
A number of natural proteins are known to have affinity and specificity for immunoglobulins. Some of them are widely used as reagents for detection or capture applications, such as Protein G and Protein A. However, these natural proteins have a defined spectrum of recognition that may not fit specific needs. With the development of combinatorial protein engineering and selection techniques, it ...
متن کاملA transition state analogue for an RNA-editing reaction.
Deamination at C6 of adenosine in RNA catalyzed by the ADAR enzymes generates inosine at the corresponding position. Because inosine is decoded as guanosine during translation, this modification can lead to codon changes in messenger RNA. Hydration of 8-azanebularine across the C6-N1 double bond generates an excellent mimic of the transition state proposed for the hydrolytic deamination reactio...
متن کاملDiscovering high-affinity ligands for proteins.
Drug discovery is a difficult and time-consuming process that involves the identification of potent therapeutic | TECH VI EW I agents with good bioavailability, metabolic stability, and low toxicity. An important first step in this process is the identification of molecules that bind with high affinity and selectivity to the biological target. High-affinity ligands might be discovered by screen...
متن کاملEfficient tumor targeting with high-affinity designed ankyrin repeat proteins: effects of affinity and molecular size.
Slow-clearing, tumor-targeting proteins such as monoclonal antibodies typically exhibit high tumor accumulation but low tissue contrast, whereas intermediate-sized proteins such as scFvs show faster clearance but only moderate tumor accumulation. For both, tumor targeting does not seem to improve further above an optimal affinity. We show here that with very small high-affinity proteins such as...
