Active-site studies of enzymes by X-ray diffraction methods.
نویسنده
چکیده
X-Ray diffraction is the only method currently available for the determination of the detailed three-dimensional structure of macromolecules. In this article, the principles behind the use of X-ray crystallography in the study of protein structure are presented. The results obtained in its application to several enzymes are discussed, as well as the limitations of the method.

متن کاملLocating active-site hydrogen atoms in D-xylose isomerase: time-of-flight neutron diffraction.
Time-of-flight neutron diffraction has been used to locate hydrogen atoms that define the ionization states of amino acids in crystals of D-xylose isomerase. This enzyme, from Streptomyces rubiginosus, is one of the largest enzymes studied to date at high resolution (1.8 A) by this method. We have determined the position and orientation of a metal ion-bound water molecule that is located in the...

Nanoparticles of nickel substituted cobalt ferrite (Nix Co1-xFe2 O4 : 0£ X£ 1) have been synthesized by co-precipitation method. Triton x-100 and oleic acid as surfactants were used. Particles size as estimated by the full width half maximum (FWHM) of the strongest X-ray diffraction (XRD) peak were found 17 and 21nm. Their morphology structure have been determined by scanning electron microscop...
متن کاملBinding of Mn-deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates to the active site of the DNA polymerase of bacteriophage T7.
Divalent metal ions are crucial as cofactors for a variety of intracellular enzymatic activities. Mg2+, as an example, mediates binding of deoxyribonucleoside 5'-triphosphates followed by their hydrolysis in the active site of DNA polymerase. It is difficult to study the binding of Mg2+ to an active site because Mg2+ is spectroscopically silent and Mg2+ binds with low affinity to the active sit...
