Resumen

La histidina (His) en los sitios de zinc interactúa con los carbonilos de la columna vertebral en los sitios estructurales o con los carboxilatos en los sitios catalíticos. Este estudio explica estas preferencias basadas en la accesibilidad al disolvente y la composición del sitio, lo que afecta la estabilidad y la reactividad del núcleo de zinc.

Área de la Ciencia:

Bioquímica y Biología Molecular.
Química computacional es la química computacional.
Química bioorgánica Química bioorgánica.

Sus antecedentes:

La histidina unida al zinc (His) comúnmente interactúa con los carbonilos de la columna vertebral en sitios estructurales de zinc.
En los sitios catalíticos de zinc, His típicamente interactúa con los carboxilatos de aspartato/glutamato (Asp/Glu).
Los factores que rigen esta interacción diferencial no se comprenden completamente.

Objetivo del estudio:

Para aclarar los factores que determinan la selección de la segunda cáscara de la pareja para Zn-vinculado His.
Para comparar las contribuciones de los carbonilos de la columna vertebral y los carboxilatos de Asp/Glu a la estabilidad y reactividad del núcleo de Zn.

Principales métodos:

Estudios sistemáticos que emplean la teoría funcional de la densidad (DFT).
Cálculos del dieléctrico continuo para evaluar las contribuciones relativas.
Análisis de la accesibilidad del disolvente y la composición del núcleo de Zn.

Principales resultados:

Los carbonilos de la columna vertebral estabilizan los núcleos de Zn aniónicos enterrados en los sitios estructurales, lo que explica la ausencia de triadas Zn-His-Asp/Glu.
Los carboxilatos de Asp/Glu mejoran los núcleos catalíticos de Zn aumentando la energía HOMO, la reactividad OH-, la transferencia de electrones y la estabilidad compleja.
Los carboxilatos de Asp/Glu pueden facilitar la liberación del producto en los sitios catalíticos mediante la protonación de His.

Conclusiones:

La selección del socio de la segunda capa se rige por la accesibilidad del disolvente y las propiedades del núcleo de Zn.
Los carbonilos de columna vertebral son favorecidos en los sitios estructurales, mientras que los carboxilatos de Asp / Glu son ventajosos en los sitios catalíticos.
Estas interacciones son cruciales para las distintas funciones de las metalloenzimas estructurales y catalíticas del zinc.

Colors and Magnetism

Color in Coordination Complexes
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human eye.

Ligand Binding and Linkage

Ligand Binding and Linkage

Allosteric proteins have more than one ligand binding site; the binding of a ligand to any of these sites influences the binding of ligands to the other sites. When a protein is allosteric, its binding sites are called coupled or linked. In the case of enzymes, the site that binds to the substrate is known as the active site and the other site is known as the regulatory site. When a ligand binds to the regulatory site, this leads to conformational changes in the protein that can influence the...

Ladder Diagrams: Complexation Equilibria

Ladder Diagrams: Complexation Equilibria

Ladder diagrams are useful for evaluating equilibria involving metal-ligand complexes. The vertical scale of the ladder diagram represents the concentration of unreacted or free ligand, pL. The horizontal lines on the scale depict the log of stepwise formation constants for metal-ligand complexes and indicate the dominant species in all the regions.
The formation constant, K1, for the formation of Cd(NH3)2+ complex from cadmium and ammonia is 3.55 × 102. Log K1 (i.e. pNH3) is 2.55, and...

Complexation Equilibria: The Chelate Effect

Complexation Equilibria: The Chelate Effect

In complexation reactions, metal atoms or cations interact with ligands to form donor-acceptor adducts called metal complexes. Ligands that bind through one donor site are monodentate, ligands with two donor sites are bidentate, and those with more than two donor sites are polydentate ligands. For example, ethylene diamine is a bidentate ligand that binds through two nitrogen donor atoms, forming a five-membered ring. EDTA is a polydentate ligand that binds through four oxygen and two nitrogen...

EDTA: Auxiliary Complexing Reagents

EDTA: Auxiliary Complexing Reagents

EDTA titrations are usually carried out in highly basic conditions, where the fully deprotonated form of EDTA, Y4−, actively complexes with the free metal ions in the solution. Several metal ions precipitate as hydrous oxide (hydroxides, oxides, or oxyhydroxides) under these conditions, lowering the concentration of free metal ions in the solution. For this reason, auxiliary complexing agents or ligands such as ammonia, tartrate, citrate, or triethanolamine are used in EDTA titrations to...

Complexation Equilibria: Factors Influencing Stability of Complexes

Complexation Equilibria: Factors Influencing Stability of Complexes

In complexation reactions, metal cations are the electron pair acceptors, and the ligands are the electron pair donors. The stability of the metal complexes depends primarily on the complexing ability of the central metal ion and the nature of the ligands. Generally, the complexing ability of the metal ion depends on the size and charge of the ion. As the metal ion size increases, the stability of the metal complexes decreases, provided that the valency of the metal ion and the ligands remain...
