SPECIFICITY OF LIGAND BINDING TO A BURIED POLAR CAVITY AT THE ACTIVE SITE OF CYTOCHROME C PEROXIDASE (IMIDAZO[1,2-A]PYRIDINE)
Overview
Cavity complementation has been observed in many proteins, where an, appropriate small molecule binds to a cavity-forming mutant. Here, the, binding of compounds to the W191G cavity mutant of cytochrome c peroxidase, is characterized by X-ray crystallography and binding thermodynamics., Unlike cavities created by removal of hydrophobic side-chains, the W191G, cavity does not bind neutral or hydrophobic compounds, but displays a, strong specificity for heterocyclic cations, consistent with the role of, the protein to stabilize a tryptophan radical at this site. Ligand, dissociation constants for the protonated cationic state ranged from 6, microM for 2-amino-5-methylthiazole to 1 mM for neutral ligands, and, binding was associated with a large enthalpy-entropy compensation. X-ray, ... [(full description)]
