Structure-Function Relationship of Metalloproteins
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Metalloproteins are a class of biologically important macromolecules, which have various functions such as oxygen transport, electron transfer, oxidation, and oxygenation. These diverse functions of metalloproteins have been thought to depend on the ligands from amino acid, coordination structures, and protein structures in immediate vicinity of metal ions. In this project, we are studying the relationship between the electronic structures of the metal active sites and reactivity of metalloproteins.

متن کاملX-ray structural studies of some metalloproteins
Metalloproteins are an important class of proteins and perform a variety of biological processes. They are ideally suited for Synchrotron Radiation studies. In particular, X-ray region of the spectrum has been very effectively exploited not only for crystallographic structure determinations but X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) and more recently X-ray solution scattering techniques have al...
متن کاملRational heme protein design: all roads lead to Rome.
Heme proteins are among the most abundant and important metalloproteins, exerting diverse biological functions including oxygen transport, small molecule sensing, selective C-H bond activation, nitrite reduction, and electron transfer. Rational heme protein designs focus on the modification of the heme-binding active site and the heme group, protein hybridization and domain swapping, and de nov...
متن کاملHidden relationships between metalloproteins unveiled by structural comparison of their metal sites
Metalloproteins account for a substantial fraction of all proteins. They incorporate metal atoms, which are required for their structure and/or function. Here we describe a new computational protocol to systematically compare and classify metal-binding sites on the basis of their structural similarity. These sites are extracted from the MetalPDB database of minimal functional sites (MFSs) in me...
