Triose Phosphate Isomerase (TIM)Triose Phosphate Isomerase (TIM)
Triose phosphate isomerase (TIM)[1][2] (PDB 1wyi and 1hti) is a crucial enzyme in the glycolytic pathway. reversibly converts the aldose Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (GAP) to the ketose Dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP). The interconversion proceeds by an enediol intermediate.
Structural Characteristics of TIMStructural Characteristics of TIM
The secondary structure consists of 14 alpha helices and 8 beta sheets per monomer, making it fall in the SCOP category of alpha and beta proteins. The tertiary structure is a The quaternary structure is a homodimer.
Mechanism of TIMMechanism of TIM
The enzyme aids in catalysis by binding tightly to the enediol transition state. To convert GAP to the enediol intermediate, a proton is abstracted from C2 by a base and the carbonyl oxygen atom is protonated by an acid. The enediol intermediate is negatively charged, but is somewhat To convert the enediol intermediate to DHAP, C1 is protonated by Glu 165, with His 95 removing a proton from C2’s OH group. As a result, the catalytic groups are back to their original states, and catalysis is complete.
