CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF QUERCETIN 2,3-DIOXYGENASE ANAEROBICALLY COMPLEXED WITH THE SUBSTRATE KAEMPFEROL
|
OverviewOverview
Quercetin 2,3-dioxygenase (2,3QD) is the only firmly established copper, dioxygenase known so far. Depending solely on a mononuclear Cu center, it, catalyzes the breakage of the O-heterocycle of flavonols, producing more, easily degradable phenolic carboxylic acid ester derivatives. In the, enzymatic process, two CC bonds are broken and concomitantly carbon, monoxide is released. The x-ray structures of Aspergillus japonicus 2,3QD, anaerobically complexed with the substrate kaempferol and the natural, substrate quercetin have been determined at 1.90- and 1.75-A resolution, respectively. Flavonols coordinate to the copper ion as monodentate, ligands through their 3OH group. They occupy a shallow and overall, hydrophobic cavity proximal to the metal center. As a result of a van der, Waals ... [(full description)]
