Protein conformational disorder and enzyme catalysis.

Though lacking a well-defined three-dimensional structure, intrinsically unstructured proteins are ubiquitous in nature. These molecules play crucial roles in many cellular processes, especially signaling and regulation. Surprisingly, even enzyme catalysis can tolerate substantial disorder. This observation contravenes conventional wisdom but is relevant to an understanding of how protein dynam...

Conformational changes during enzyme catalysis: role of water in the transition state.

The entropy of activation for the synthesis of Ile-tRNA is high and positive. The only likely source of a high delta S is the loss of structured water as the enzyme . substrate complex moves toward the transition state. This requires a change in the orientation or nature of water-organizing residues in the interface between the enzyme . substrate complex and the water. Such changes, which may b...

Perspectives on Electrostatics and Conformational Motions in Enzyme Catalysis

CONSPECTUS: Enzymes are essential for all living organisms, and their effectiveness as chemical catalysts has driven more than a half century of research seeking to understand the enormous rate enhancements they provide. Nevertheless, a complete understanding of the factors that govern the rate enhancements and selectivities of enzymes remains elusive, due to the extraordinary complexity and co...

DNA Polymerase : Multiple Conformational Changes in the Mechanism of Catalysis†

Stopped-flow fluorescence assay was applied to identify conformational changes in the catalytic cycle of DNA polymerase (Pol ), using a synthetic DNA primer/template containing 2-aminopurine (2-AP) at the template position opposite the incoming dNTP. Two phases of fluorescence change were observed in the stopped-flow fluorescence assay of the incorporation of the correct nucleotide dTTP. The ra...

Role of Ligand-Driven Conformational Changes in Enzyme Catalysis: Modeling the Reactivity of the Catalytic Cage of Triosephosphate Isomerase

We have previously performed empirical valence bond calculations of the kinetic activation barriers, Δ G‡calc, for the deprotonation of complexes between TIM and the whole substrate glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (GAP, Kulkarni et al. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2017 , 139 , 10514 - 10525 ). We now extend this work to also study the deprotonation of the substrate pieces glycolaldehyde (GA) and GA·HPi [HPi = ...
