STUDIES ON THE CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF Al-(D-TRYPTOPHAN) INSULIN

We have determined the crystal structure of Al-(D-Trp) insulin and discovered that it belongs to the trigonal system with space group R3. The parameters of the unit cell are a=b=78.6, c=50.0. A set of data for half a sphere reciprocal space to a spacing of 2.2 were collected. The model was adjusted and refined by using a step-by-step approach and a stereochemically-restrained least squares program, assisted by manual revision based on the difference Fourier maps, to a final R-factor of 0.218. The main and side chains of both Al-D-Trp residues in the asymmetric unit are well ordered. The packing of Al-(D-Trp) insulin in the unit cell, the conformational differences with other insulin structures and its structure and function relationship bave also been discussed.

MOLECULAR STRUCTURE AND ABSOLUTE CONFIGURATION OF THE DITERPENE LACTONE, PRAELOLIDE

Praelolide is a new compound which was isolated out from the gorgonian, Menella praelonga (Ridley), collected from the South Sea of China at Zhanjiang, Guangdong. The molecular formula is C_(28) H_(35) O_(12)C1. The research result by X-ray diffraction method on the crystal structure is presented. The compound is orthorhombic with space group P2_12_12, cell dimensions α=16.936, b=16.709, c=10.333, and Z=4. The structure has been solved by direct method and refined to R=0.055 for 2257 unique observable reflexions by least-squares. The molecule is composed of the major conformational isomer in which the three main rings(a six-membered ring, an eight-membered ring, a six-membered ring) take separately the form of chair-chairboat-chair, a five-membered actone ring, a C1 substitution, 4 acetate groups, and a three-membered epoxide ring. The absolute configuration of the molecule has also been determined by statistics (R factor ratio =1.012) and Bijvoet pairs observation. For 30 pairs of the greatest anomalo

胰岛素分子与其受体结合的可能机制

以最小二乘叠合技术和图象显示技术对DPI、二锌胰岛素及其他一些衍生物结构进行了深入的比较和分析,确认与受体分子的结合相互作用是发生在胰岛素分子的一个两性表面上,其中部是由许多疏水残基构成的面积约150~2的疏水表面,而一些极性基团在其周围构成亲水带区。疏水表面通常被运动性很大的B链羧端肽段所覆盖,不受极性溶剂分子的干扰。两性表面在方位上与分子在二体中的缔合面构成约20°的夹角。Al-L-Trp胰岛素及Al-D-Trp胰岛素结构详细的比较结果,既很好地解释了两者在生物活性上的显著差异,又进一步确认了我们所提出的胰岛素分子与其受体结合的作用模型。     

STUDIES ON THE CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF Al-(L-TRYPTOPHAN) INSULIN AT 2.1RESOLUTION

In order to study the biological effect of alterations to the N-terminus of the insulin A-chain, we have determined the crystal structure of Al-(L-Trp) insulin and discovered that it belongs to the trigohal system with space group R3. The parameters oof the unit cell are a=b=80.3A, c=37.5A. The model was adjusted and refined by using a stereochemically-restrained least squares program, assisted by manual revision of the model based on the difference Fourier map, to a final R-factor of 0.195. The main and side chains of both Al-(L-Trp) residues in the asymmetric unit are well ordered. It was found that the Al-Trp residue of molecule I occupied two distinct positions. We have proposed from the results of the three-dimensional structure that the 4-zinc insulin hexameric form is a stored state of insulin molecules in a conformation of low activity. The structural details of the insulin molecule and its structure and function relationship have also been discussed.
