SPECIFICITY OF LIGAND BINDING IN A POLAR CAVITY OF CYTOCHROME C PEROXIDASE (2-METHYLIMIDAZOLE)
Overview
Conformational changes that gate the access of substrates or ligands to an, active site are important features of enzyme function. In this report, we, describe an unusual example of a structural rearrangement near a buried, artificial cavity in cytochrome c peroxidase that occurs on binding, protonated benzimidazole. A hinged main-chain rotation at two residues, (Pro 190 and Asn 195) results in a surface loop rearrangement that opens a, large solvent-accessible channel for the entry of ligands to an otherwise, inaccessible binding site. The trapping of this alternate conformational, state provides a unique view of the extent to which protein dynamics can, allow small molecule penetration into buried protein cavities.
