Energetics of an n --> pi interaction that impacts protein structure.

چکیده
[structure: see text] The trans/cis ratio of the amide bond in N-formylproline phenylesters correlates with electron withdrawal by a para substituent. The slope of the Hammett plot (rho = 0.26) is indicative of a substantial effect. This effect arises from a favorable n --> pi interaction between the amide oxygen and ester carbonyl. In a polypeptide chain, an analogous interaction can stabilize the conformation of trans peptide bonds, alpha-helices, and polyproline type-II helices.

متن کاملProtein-heme interaction in hemoglobin: evidence from Raman difference spectroscopy.
Raman difference spectroscopy measurements on native and chemically modified human deoxyhemoglobins stabilized in either the R or the T quaternary structure revealed frequency differences in the oxidation state marker lines. The differences indicate that the R structure has an effective increase in the electron density of the antibonding pi* orbitals of the porphyrin rings. This increase is exp...
متن کاملNature of Amide Carbonyl−Carbonyl Interactions in Proteins
Noncovalent interactions define and modulate biomolecular structure, function, and dynamics. In many protein secondary structures, an intimate interaction exists between adjacent carbonyl groups of the main-chain amide bonds. As this short contact contributes to the energetics of protein conformational stability as well as protein-ligand interactions, understanding its nature is crucial. The in...

Clostridium botulinum type A (BoNT/A) produces a neurotoxin recently found to be useful as an injectable drug for the treatment of abnormal muscle contractions. The catalytic domain of this toxin which is responsible for the main toxin activity is a zinc metalloprotease that inhibits the release of neurotransmitter mediators in neuromuscular junctions. A cell penetrating cationic peptide, Tat, ...
