Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This project targeted two enzymes. Regarding the first enzyme ODCase, we determined about 10 crystal structures using various mutants and/or ligands. The best resolution of the determined structures is 1.03 A, which is much better than those of the over 200 determined ODCase structures thus far. Based on the structures with biochemical and computational analyses, we elucidated that substrate distortion contributes to 10-15% free energy decrease of the transition state by ODCase. Regarding the other enzyme Cyc2, we elucidated the enzyme is not appropriate for the crystallographic analysis. We are now attempt to purify and crystallize a homologous protein from a different organism.
