SPE7:ANTHRONE COMPLEX
Overview
Induced fit is a predominant phenomenon in protein-ligand interactions, yet it is invariably attributed without establishing the existence, let, alone the structure, of the initial, low-affinity encounter complex. We, determined the crystal structure of the encounter complex on the pathway, of ligand binding by IgE antibody SPE7. We show that this complex is, formed by a wide range of ligands that initially bind with identical, affinity. Nonspecific ligands rapidly dissociate, whereupon the antibody, isomerizes to a nonbinding isomer. Specific ligand complexes, however, slowly isomerize to give a high-affinity complex. This isomerization, involves backbone and side-chain rearrangements of up to 14 A and the, formation of specific hydrogen bonds. The postbinding conformational, switch, ... [(full description)]
