Induced-fit Model01:13

Induced-fit Model

77.0K
Most chemical reactions in cells require enzymes—biological catalysts that speed up the reaction without being consumed or permanently changed. They reduce the activation energy needed to convert the reactants into products. Enzymes are proteins, that usually work by binding to a substrate—a reactant molecule that they act upon.
Enzymes exhibit substrate specificity, meaning that they can only bind to certain substrates. This is mainly determined by the shape and chemical...

Enzymes

68.9K
Inside living organisms, enzymes act as catalysts for many biochemical reactions involved in cellular metabolism. The role of enzymes is to reduce the activation energies of biochemical reactions by forming complexes with its substrates. The lowering of activation energies favor an increase in the rates of biochemical reactions.
Enzyme deficiencies can often translate into life-threatening diseases. For example, a genetic abnormality resulting in the deficiency of the enzyme G6PD...

Introduction to Mechanisms of Enzyme Catalysis

9.0K
For many years, scientists thought that enzyme-substrate binding took place in a simple "lock-and-key" fashion. This model stated that the enzyme and substrate fit together perfectly in one instantaneous step. However, current research supports a more refined view scientists call induced fit. The induced-fit model expands upon the lock-and-key model by describing a more dynamic interaction between enzyme and substrate. As the enzyme and substrate come together, their interaction causes...

Viral Mutations00:36

Viral Mutations

33.0K
A mutation is a change in the sequence of bases of DNA or RNA in a genome. Some mutations occur during replication of the genome due to errors made by the polymerase enzymes that replicate DNA or RNA. Unlike DNA polymerase, RNA polymerase is prone to errors because it is not capable of “proofreading” its work. Viruses with RNA-based genomes, like HIV, therefore accrue mutations faster than viruses with DNA-based genomes. Because mutation and recombination provide the raw material...

Size and Structure of Viral Genomes

1.2K
Viral genomes exhibit remarkable diversity in size, structure, and composition, influencing their replication strategies and interactions with host cells. These genomes consist of either DNA or RNA and may be linear or circular. Additionally, they can be single-stranded or double-stranded, with each configuration affecting how the virus propagates within a host. RNA viruses, for instance, generally have smaller genomes than DNA viruses, a factor that contributes to their high mutation rates and...

Enzyme Kinetics01:19

Enzyme Kinetics

81.0K
Enzymes speed up reactions by lowering the activation energy of the reactants. The speed at which the enzyme turns reactants into products is called the rate of reaction. Several factors impact the rate of reaction, including the number of available reactants. Enzyme kinetics is the study of how an enzyme changes the rate of a reaction.
Scientists typically study enzyme kinetics with a fixed amount of enzyme in the controlled environment of a test tube. When more reactant, or substrate, is...

Area of Science:

  • Structural Biology
  • Virology
  • Drug Discovery

Background:

  • HIV-1 protease drug resistance shifts molecular recognition towards substrate processing over inhibitor binding.
  • Developing effective inhibitors requires understanding the principles of substrate recognition in drug-resistant variants.
  • Previous studies identified a conserved 'substrate envelope' in wild-type protease-substrate complexes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the structural and dynamic properties of coevolved HIV-1 protease-substrate complexes with drug resistance mutations.
  • To determine if the substrate envelope is preserved in the presence of protease drug resistance mutations.
  • To validate the substrate envelope hypothesis as a key motif for HIV-1 protease substrate recognition.

Main Methods:

  • Molecular modeling and dynamics simulations were employed.
  • Three coevolved protease-substrate complexes with known resistance mutations were analyzed.
  • Conformational and mutational ensembles were studied.

Main Results:

  • The substrate envelope was found to be preserved, and in some cases enhanced, by cleavage site mutations alongside protease drug resistance mutations.
  • The dynamic substrate envelope concept was further supported.
  • The study validated the substrate envelope as a conserved substrate recognition motif.

Conclusions:

  • The substrate envelope hypothesis provides a framework for understanding HIV-1 protease substrate recognition, even with drug resistance.
  • This understanding can elucidate mutation patterns in polyprotein cleavage sites associated with drug resistance.
  • The findings support the development of robust inhibitors targeting drug-resistant HIV-1 protease variants.
