Automated identification of elemental ions in macromolecular crystal structures
Many macromolecular model-building and refinement programs can automatically place solvent atoms in electron density at moderate-to-high resolution. This process frequently builds water molecules in place of elemental ions, the identification of which must be performed manually. The solvent-picking algorithms in phenix.refine have been extended to build common ions based on an analysis of the c...
متن کاملModulation of staphylokinase-dependent plasminogen activation by mono- and divalent ions.
The effect of several ions (Cl-, Na+, K+, Ca2+) on the rate of plasminogen (Pg) activation by recombinant staphylokinase (rSTA) is reported. Both monovalent and divalent ions affect the rate at which Pg is activated by rSTA, in a concentration-dependent manner (range 0-100 mM). In almost all cases, a decrease of the initial velocity of activation was observed. Cl- showed the most striking inhib...
متن کاملModulation of Ca2+-gated cardiac muscle Ca2+-release channel (ryanodine receptor) by mono- and divalent ions.
The effects of mono- and divalent ions on Ca2+-gated cardiac muscle Ca2+-release channel (ryanodine receptor) activity were examined in [3H]ryanodine-binding measurements. Ca2+ bound with the highest apparent affinity to Ca2+activation sites in choline chloride medium, followed by KCl, CsCl, NaCl, and LiCl media. The apparent Ca2+ binding affinities of Ca2+ inactivation sites were lower in chol...
متن کاملMetalPDB: a database of metal sites in biological macromolecular structures
We present here MetalPDB (freely accessible at http://metalweb.cerm.unifi.it), a novel resource aimed at conveying the information available on the three-dimensional (3D) structures of metal-binding biological macromolecules in a consistent and effective manner. This is achieved through the systematic and automated representation of metal-binding sites in proteins and nucleic acids by way of Mi...
متن کاملWinding of the DNA helix by divalent metal ions.
When supercoiled pBR322 DNA was relaxed at 0 or 22 degrees C by topoisomerase I in the presence of the divalent cations Ca2+, Mn2+ or Co2+, the resulting distributions of topoisomers observed at 22 degrees C had positive supercoils, up to an average delta Lk value of +8.6 (for Ca2+at 0 degrees C), corresponding to an overwinding of the helix by 0.7 degrees/bp. An increase of the divalent cation...
