Metal toxicity is a potential hazard to health and toxic effects of metals have been implicated in many diseases. Understanding the interaction of toxic metals becomes vital to prevent hazards following its association in living systems. Coordination chemistry helps in predicting the metal environments like coordinating residues, coordination space, metal coordination geometry, etc. Our work aimed at predicting the coordination of toxic metals arsenic, lead, and beryllium. In this work, we analyzed coordination for each metal from a set of arsenic, beryllium and lead bound structures which were retrieved from the Protein Data Bank. The structures were validated using B-factor and occupancy of the coordinating residues towards the metals. Coordination patterns such as chelate residues, chelate length, geometry, coordination number and structural architecture were predicted. Coordination geometry of the metals was exposed beyond the coordination space with their coordination number ranging from 2 to 11. Analysis of metal environment revealed the acidic amino acids aspartic acid, glutamic acid, and the basic amino acids lysine, histidine, and cysteine to be predominant in coordinating with the metals. Chelate patterns like DDVMITAK, DWNVTVK, ESGKNSS for beryllium, CCCSK, DSDWD for lead and FLICVI and LKHHKEE for arsenic were predicted to be common through extended coordination space. The distinct molecular geometries such as pentagonal bipyramid and square planar were observed only in lead bound structures but not in beryllium and arsenic bound structures. Beryllium had a larger influence than arsenic and lead, based on conformational changes owing to the presence of the metals. Our coordination study puts forth several propositions based on the metal environment that would help in designing chelation strategies. 相似文献

The absolute configuration of fusaproliferin, a toxic metabolite produced byFusarium proliferation, was determined by the combined use of1H NMR and distance geometry. The configuration of double bonds has been determined in agreement with NOESY buildup data. An R configuration for C10 was determined using Mosher's method. Processing the constraints obtained from NOESY experiments with a distance geometry program, a limited number (80) of possible structures was derived. An agglomerative nonhierarchical method of clustering was used in order to place these structures into classes suggested by the data, and not previously defined in any way. This statistical method showed that indeed the structures could be grouped in four classes. One of these classes is represented by a single structure, with the highest sum of violations and was discarded. All other structures have the same chirality; respectively S for C14 and R for C15. In solution the overall conformation is quite well defined in the region of the five-member ring and the planes of double bonds C2–C3 and C11–C12, while near to C8 and C9 internal flexibility appears evident. 相似文献

The reaction of apple pectin modified by organic pharmacophores (nicotinic, salicylic, 5-aminosalicylic, and anthranilic acids) with Cu(II) cations was studied by spectral methods. The compositions of the complexes were determined and their stability constants, as well as the thermodynamic parameters (ΔH 0, ΔG 0, ΔS 0) of the complex formation were calculated. The structure of the drug in the polymeric ligand was found to affect certain physicochemical properties of the metal complexes. 相似文献

A knowledge-based approach for generating conformations of molecules has been developed. The method described here provides a good sampling of the molecule's conformational space by restricting the generated conformations to those consistent with the reference database. The present approach, internally named et for enumerate torsions, differs from previous database-mining approaches by employing a library of much larger substructures while treating open chains, rings, and combinations of chains and rings in the same manner. In addition to knowledge in the form of observed torsion angles, some knowledge from the medicinal chemist is captured in the form of which substructures are identified. The knowledge-based approach is compared to Blaney et al.'s distance geometry (DG) algorithm for sampling the conformational space of molecules. The structures of 113 protein-bound molecules, determined by X-ray crystallography, were used to compare the methods. The present knowledge-based approach (i) generates conformations closer to the experimentally determined conformation, (ii) generates them sooner, and (iii) is significantly faster than the DG method. 相似文献

Summary GEOM is a new graphics tool which allows the use of distance geometry to compute linear and cyclic structures typically arising in drug design situations. Modified amino acids or monomeric organic entities can be easily constructed in an interactive way and deposited in the library of the distance geometry program together with geometric information required for structure calculation in dihedral angle space. In addition, GEOM is able to produce all files needed to calculate a structure based on NMR data (NOE and J-coupling constraints) and it permits the graphic analysis and comparison of computed structures. The application of GEOM is demonstrated in three examples: modelling of cyclosporin A structures with and without a limited set of H-bond constraints and modelling of a cyclic hexapeptide with a full NMR data set. 相似文献

Microwave plasma deposited (100) diamond films have been thermally oxidized in dry O2 between 500 and 723 degrees C. The roughness of a single crystalline grain following oxidation is consistent with a layer-by-layer mechanism for the removal of carbon monoxide. The resulting surface exhibits infrared absorption bands at 1731 and 905 cm-1, attributed to the stretching and bending modes of a surface bonded carbonyl group. The former is within 1 cm-1 of the structurally analogous molecule 2-adamantanone. These data are consistent with the carbonyl groups being present on diamond (100) terraces. 相似文献

Significant improvements are made to a recent algorithm that finds molecular conformations using distance geometry on nuclear magnetic resonance data. Weighting factors for the nearest approximation of the distance matrix to a data matrix are allowed to vary between iterations of the algorithm. These changes are proportional to the error of the distance between atoms in the configuration and the nuclear magnetic resonance data bounds. The weight changes increase the rate of convergence by an order of magnitude. Penalty functions are proposed to ensure the correct chirality. Numerical results for these modifications and subsequent energy calculations using CHARMm are given for an analog of the heat stable (ST) enterotoxin peptide STh produced byE. coli in humans. 相似文献

The depletion interactions of ellipsoidal colloidal particles in a solution of long polymer chains are analyzed. Of primary concern are the limiting cases in which the ellipsoid reduces to a cylinder of infinite length and finite radius and a "needle" of finite length and vanishing radius. Relations are obtained between the polymer effects induced by a needle that is much shorter than the polymer size and by a cylinder with radius much smaller than the polymer size. These imply exact quantitative results for the orientation-dependent depletion interaction between a short needle and a wall. Qualitative differences between the needle and thin disk are discussed. 相似文献
