BOND LENGTH ANALYSIS OF ASP, GLU AND HIS RESIDUES IN TRYPSIN AT 1.2A RESOLUTIONBOND LENGTH ANALYSIS OF ASP, GLU AND HIS RESIDUES IN TRYPSIN AT 1.2A RESOLUTION
Structural highlights
Publication Abstract from PubMedA bond-distance analysis has been undertaken to determine the protonation states of ionizable amino acids in trypsin, subtilisin and lysozyme. The diffraction resolutions were 1.2 A for trypsin (97% complete, 12% H-atom visibility at 2.5sigma), 1.26 A for subtilisin (100% complete, 11% H-atom visibility at 2.5sigma) and 0.65 A for lysozyme (PDB entry 2vb1; 98% complete, 30% H-atom visibility at 3sigma). These studies provide a wide diffraction resolution range for assessment. The bond-length e.s.d.s obtained are as small as 0.008 A and thus provide an exceptional opportunity for bond-length analyses. The results indicate that useful information can be obtained from diffraction data at around 1.2-1.3 A resolution and that minor increases in resolution can have significant effects on reducing the associated bond-length standard deviations. The protonation states in histidine residues were also considered; however, owing to the smaller differences between the protonated and deprotonated forms it is much more difficult to infer the protonation states of these residues. Not even the 0.65 A resolution lysozyme structure provided the necessary accuracy to determine the protonation states of histidine.
