GEOMETRY OF TRITERPENE CONVERSION TO PENTACARBOCYCLIC HOPENE
Overview
The membrane protein squalene-hopene cyclase was cocrystallized with, 2-azasqualene and analyzed by X-ray diffraction to 2.13 A resolution. The, conformation of this close analog was clearly established, and it agreed, with the common textbook presentation. The bound squalene undergoes only, small conformational changes during the formation of rings A through D, thus requiring no intermediate. However, ring E formation is hindered by, an entropic barrier, which may explain its absence in the steroids. The, structure analysis revealed a mobile region between the active center, cavity and the membrane, which may melt, opening a passage for squalene, and hopene.
