Engineered Ionizable Side Chains.
One of the great challenges of mechanistic ion-channel biology is to obtain structural information from well-defined functional states. In the case of neurotransmitter-gated ion channels, the open-channel conformation is particularly elusive owing to its transient nature and brief mean lifetime. In this Chapter, we show how the analysis of single-channel currents recorded from mutants engineere...
متن کاملCutoff lensing: predicting catalytic sites in enzymes
Predicting function-related amino acids in proteins with unknown function or unknown allosteric binding sites in drug-targeted proteins is a task of paramount importance in molecular biomedicine. In this paper we introduce a simple, light and computationally inexpensive structure-based method to identify catalytic sites in enzymes. Our method, termed cutoff lensing, is a general procedure consi...
متن کاملElectrostatic origin of the catalytic power of enzymes and the role of preorganized active sites.
Enzymatic reactions are involved in most biological processes. Thus, there is a major practical and fundamental interest in finding out what makes enzymes so efficient. Many crucial pieces of this puzzle were provided by biochemical and structural studies (1). Yet, as will be shown below, the actual reason for the catalytic power of enzymes is not widely understood. It is clearly not explained ...
متن کاملCatalytic Active Sites in Molybdenum Based Catalysts
In situ metal, acid and metal-acid (bifunctional) catalytic active functions were prepared following partial reduction by hydrogen of MoO3 deposited on TiO2 at temperatures between 623 K and 673 K. The bifunctional structure is obtained following the reduction of MoO3 to MoO2. The metallic properties of MoO2 are attributed to the delocalized electrons above the Mo atoms place along the C-axis...
متن کاملNormal Modes Expose Active Sites in Enzymes
Accurate prediction of active sites is an important tool in bioinformatics. Here we present an improved structure based technique to expose active sites that is based on large changes of solvent accessibility accompanying normal mode dynamics. The technique which detects EXPOsure of active SITes through normal modEs is named EXPOSITE. The technique is trained using a small 133 enzyme dataset an...
