1.65 ANGSTROM STRUCTURE OF BENZALDEHYDE LYASE COMPLEXED WITH 2-METHYL-2,4-PENTANEDIOL

OverviewOverview

Benzaldehyde lyase (BAL; EC 4.1.2.38) is a thiamine diphosphate (ThDP), dependent enzyme that catalyses the enantioselective carboligation of two, molecules of benzaldehyde to form (R)-benzoin. BAL has hence aroused, interest for its potential in the industrial synthesis of optically active, benzoins and derivatives. The structure of BAL was previously solved to a, resolution of 2.6 A using MAD experiments on a selenomethionine derivative, [Mosbacher et al. (2005), FEBS J. 272, 6067-6076]. In this communication, of parallel studies, BAL was crystallized in an alternative space group, (P2(1)2(1)2(1)) and its structure refined to a resolution of 1.65 A, allowing detailed observation of the water structure, active-site, interactions with ThDP and also the electron density for the co-solvent, ...
