Do Electrostatic Interactions with Positively Charged Active Site Groups Tighten the Transition State for Enzymatic Phosphoryl Transfer?
摘要:
The effect of electrostatic interactions on the transition-state character for enzymatic phosphoryl transfer has been a subject of much debate. In this work, we investigate the transition state for alkaline phosphatase (AP) using linear free-energy relationships (LIFERs). We determined k(cat)/K-M for a series of aryl sulfate ester monoanions to obtain the Bronsted coefficient, beta(lg)., and compared the value to that obtained previously for a series of aryl phosphorothioate ester dianion substrates. Despite the difference in substrate charge, the observed Bronsted coefficients for AP-catalyzed aryl sulfate and aryl phosphorothioate hydrolysis (-0.76 +/- 0.14 and -0.77 +/- 0.10, respectively) are strikingly similar, with steric effects being responsible for the uncertainties in these values. Aryl sulfates and aryl phosphates react via similar loose transition states in solution. These observations suggest an apparent equivalency of the transition states for phosphorothioate and sulfate hydrolysis reactions at the AP active site and, thus, negligible effects of active site electrostatic interactions on charge distribution in the transition state.

Disclosed herein are compositions comprising a drug linked to a multivalent ligand polysaccharide and the use of this composition in the prevention and treatment of cancer. In one aspect, the polysaccharide is obtained by physical and chemical treatment of naturally occurring polymers or semi synthetic polymers which are bridged specifically with one or more anti-cancer chemotherapeutic agents. Another aspect is directed to the effective delivery of the polysaccharide together with the chemotherapeutic agent to diseased tissue including cancerous tissue.

A method for determining the presence of mycobacteria species in an organism or biological sample, the method comprising adding to the organism or biological sample a probe molecule comprising a substrate and a label, which probe molecule can be incorporated into mycobacteria, the presence of mycobacteria being determined by a detector responsive to the presence of the label, optionally after applying a stimulus; suitable probe molecules include compounds comprising a label and a substrate, which label is can be detected by a detector responsive to the presence of the label, optionally after applying a stimulus, characterised by compound being able to engage with the active site of Antigen 85B (Ag85B) such that it can form simultaneous hydrogen bonds with two or more amino acids in the active site selected from Arg 43, Trp 264, Ser126, His 262 and Leu 42, or the corresponding amino acids in Antigen 85A (Ag85A) or Antigen 85C (Ag85C), at least one of which is with Ser126.
