STRUCTURE OF THE REDUCED PENTAERYTHRITOL TETRANITRATE REDUCTASE
Overview
Pentaerythritol tetranitrate reductase (PETN reductase) degrades high, explosive molecules including nitrate esters, nitroaromatics and cyclic, triazine compounds. The enzyme also binds a variety of cyclic enones, including steroids; some steroids act as substrates whilst others are, inhibitors. Understanding the basis of reactivity with cyclic enones, requires structural information for the enzyme and key complexes formed, with steroid substrates and inhibitors. The crystal structure of oxidised, and reduced PETN reductase at 1.5 A resolution establishes a close, structural similarity to the beta/alpha-barrel flavoenzyme, old yellow, enzyme. In complexes of oxidised PETN reductase with progesterone (an, inhibitor), 1,4-androstadiene-3,17-dione and prednisone (both substrates), the ... [(full description)]
