STUCTURE OF PENTAERYTHRITOL TETRANIRATE REDUCTASE COMPLEXED WITH PICRIC ACID
|
OverviewOverview
The structure of pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN) reductase in complex, with the nitroaromatic substrate picric acid determined previously at 1.55, A resolution indicated additional electron density between the indole ring, of residue Trp-102 and the nitro group at C-6 of picrate. The data, suggested the presence of an unusual bond between substrate and the, tryptophan side chain. Herein, we have extended the resolution of the PETN, reductase-picric acid complex to 0.9 A. This high-resolution analysis, indicates that the active site is partially occupied with picric acid and, that the anomalous density seen in the original study is attributed to the, population of multiple conformational states of Trp-102 and not a formal, covalent bond between the indole ring of Trp-102 and picric ...
