Prediction of distal residue participation in enzyme catalysis
A scoring method for the prediction of catalytically important residues in enzyme structures is presented and used to examine the participation of distal residues in enzyme catalysis. Scores are based on the Partial Order Optimum Likelihood (POOL) machine learning method, using computed electrostatic properties, surface geometric features, and information obtained from the phylogenetic tree as ...
متن کاملSolvation response along the reaction coordinate in the active site of ketosteroid isomerase.
A light-activated reaction analog has been developed to mimic the catalytic reaction cycle of Delta(5)-3-ketosteroid isomerase to probe the functionally relevant protein solvation response to the catalytic charge transfer. Delta(5)-3-ketosteroid isomerase from Pseudomonas putida catalyzes a C-H bond cleavage and formation through an enolate intermediate. Conversion of the ketone substrate to th...
متن کاملProton affinity of the oxyanion hole in the active site of ketosteroid isomerase.
The absorption spectra of a series of inhibitors bound at the active site of Delta(5)-3-ketosteroid isomerase from Pseudomonas putida were found to exhibit substantial variations in the contributions of the protonated and deprotonated forms. Systematic variation of the inhibitor solution pK(a) combined with a method of quantifying the contributions of each protonation state showed the oxyanion ...
متن کاملEffect of 6-methylpurine on phosphohexose isomerase and lactic dehydrogenase activities of plasma, erythrocytes, liver, and skeletal muscle.
Although it has been stated that plasma or serum enzymes are derived from the destruction of cellular elements in the blood or tissues (8), indirect evidence has recently been accumulating that enzymes may pass outward from the cell into the extracellular fluid and thence into the circulation in ways other than those involving necrosis or destruction of the cell (2, 3, 5, 8). It has long been k...
متن کاملIsolation and molecular identification of bacteria producing alkaline phosphatase enzyme from environmental sources
Alkaline phosphatase (ortho phosphate, monoester hydrolase phosphoinositide E. C. 3.1.3.1) is a non-specific metalloproteinase enzyme that is located inside periplasmic space of bacteria. This enzyme is used to measure freshwater sediment in genetic engineering for cleaning water. Isolation and molecular identification of the bacteria producing alkaline phosphatase and comparison of its product...
