Cation-pi interactions involving aromatic amino acids.
The cation-pi interaction is a general, strong, noncovalent binding force that is used throughout nature. The side chains of the aromatic amino acids [phenylalanine (Phe), tyrosine (Tyr), and tryptophan (Trp)] provide a surface of negative electrostatic potential than can bind to a wide range of cations through a predominantly electrostatic interaction. In this brief overview, the fundamental n...
متن کاملSubstituent effects on cation-pi interactions: a quantitative study.
A synthetic supramolecular complex has been adapted to quantify cation-pi interactions in chloroform by using chemical double-mutant cycles. The interaction of a pyridinium cation with the pi-face of an aromatic ring is found to be very sensitive to the pi-electron density. Electron-donating substituents lead to a strong attractive interaction (-8 kJ/mol(-1)), but electron-withdrawing groups le...
متن کاملRabies Infection: An Overview of Lyssavirus-Host Protein Interactions
Viruses are obligatory intracellular parasites that use cell proteins to take the control of the cell functions in order to accomplish their life cycle. Studying the viral-host interactions would increase our knowledge of the viral biology and mechanisms of pathogenesis. Studies on pathogenesis mechanisms of lyssaviruses, which are the causative agents of rabies, have revealed some important ho...
متن کاملPhysical and functional interactions between protein tyrosine phosphatase alpha, PI 3-kinase, and PKCdelta.
The somatostatin analogue, TT-232 inhibits cell proliferation and induces apoptosis in a variety of tumor cells both in vivo and in vitro. While the early transient activation of Erk/MAPK was found to be important for the induction of cell cycle arrest, the signaling pathway leading to the activation of Erk/MAPK had not been fully established. Here we present evidence that activation of the Erk...
متن کاملCation-pi interactions stabilize the structure of the antimicrobial peptide indolicidin near membranes: molecular dynamics simulations.
We implemented molecular dynamics simulations of the 13-residue antimicrobial peptide indolicidin (ILPWKWPWWPWRR-NH2) in dodecylphosphocholine (DPC) and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) micelles. In DPC, a persistent cation-pi interaction between TRP11 and ARG13 defined the structure of the peptide near the interface. A transient cation-pi interaction was also observed between TRP4 and the choline ...
