ISOPENICILLIN N SYNTHASE FROM ASPERGILLUS NIDULANS (OXYGEN EXPOSED PRODUCT FROM ANAEROBIC ACOV FE COMPLEX)
OverviewOverview
BACKGROUND: Isopenicillin N synthase (IPNS) catalyses formation of, bicyclic isopenicillin N, precursor to all penicillin and cephalosporin, antibiotics, from the linear tripeptide, delta-(L-alpha-aminoadipoyl)-L-cysteinyl-D-valine. IPNS is a non-haem, iron(II)-dependent enzyme which utilises the full oxidising potential of, molecular oxygen in catalysing the bicyclisation reaction. The reaction, mechanism is believed to involve initial formation of the beta-lactam ring, (via a thioaldehyde intermediate) to give an iron(IV)-oxo species, which, then mediates closure of the 5-membered thiazolidine ring. RESULTS: Here, we report experiments employing time-resolved crystallography to observe, turnover of an isosteric substrate analogue designed to intercept the, catalytic pathway at an early ...
