Stereoselective synthesis using immobilized Diels-Alderase ribozymes.
Development of artificial ribozymes by in vitro selection has so far, mostly been addressed from the viewpoint of fundamental research. However, such ribozymes also have high potential as selective catalysts in practical syntheses. Immobilization of an active and selective ribozyme is an important step towards this end. A 49-nucleotide RNA molecule that was previously found to stereoselectively...
متن کاملA small catalytic RNA motif with Diels-Alderase activity.
BACKGROUND The 'RNA world' hypothesis requires that RNA be able to catalyze a wide variety of chemical reactions. In vitro selection from combinatorial RNA libraries has been used to identify several catalytic activities, most of which have resulted in a self-modification of RNA at one of its constituents. The formation of carbon-carbon bonds is considered an essential prerequisite for a comple...
متن کاملStereoselection in the diels-alderase ribozyme: A molecular dynamics study
The Diels-Alderase ribozyme is an in vitro-evolved ribonucleic acid enzyme that catalyzes a [4 + 2] cycloaddition reaction between an anthracene diene and a maleimide dienophile. The ribozyme can in principle be used to selectively synthesize only one product enantiomer, depending on which of the two entrances to the catalytic pocket, "front" or "back", the substrate is permitted to use. Here, ...
متن کاملArtificial Diels–Alderase based on the transmembrane protein FhuA
Copper(I) and copper(II) complexes were covalently linked to an engineered variant of the transmembrane protein Ferric hydroxamate uptake protein component A (FhuA ΔCVF(tev)). Copper(I) was incorporated using an N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand equipped with a maleimide group on the side arm at the imidazole nitrogen. Copper(II) was attached by coordination to a terpyridyl ligand. The spacer...
متن کاملMg2+-dependent folding of a Diels-Alderase ribozyme probed by single-molecule FRET analysis
Here, we report a single-molecule fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) study of a Diels-Alderase (DAse) ribozyme, a 49-mer RNA with true catalytic properties. The DAse ribozyme was labeled with Cy3 and Cy5 as a FRET pair of dyes to observe intramolecular folding, which is a prerequisite for its recognition and turnover of two organic substrate molecules. FRET efficiency histograms and ...
