   Nitrogen fixation
   Components
       a molybdenum atom at the active site, Iron-sulfur clusters which are
        involved in transporting the electrons needed to reduce the nitrogen
        and an abundant energy source.

   MoFe protein to perform the reaction and Fe
    break ATP to pump electrons.
   Require 6 electrons for each N2 split into 2 NH3
   For each electrons,2 ATPs are needed
                                                                               37
38
   The Fe protein- uses the breakage of ATP to pump these
    electrons into the MoFe protein.
   The metal clusters are the centerpiece of nitrogenase.
   it contains both the MoFe protein and two copies of the Fe
    protein dimer bound on either end. iron-sulfur cluster, the P-
    cluster, and the FeMo-cluster arranged in a row. The ATP
    binding site is revealed in this structure by using an unusual
    analogue of ATP: an ADP molecule with an aluminum fluoride
    ion. Two of these molecules bind at each end, forming a stable
    but inactive complex with the Fe protein, essentially gluing the
    Fe protein to the FeMo protein so its structure can be solved.     39
   Reversible H2 oxidation
   exist in either NiFe or Ni-independent, or Fe-only, forms.
   Active site heterobimetallic
   The active sites are all different, but they have compelling
    structural similarities. All are centered around an iron atom
    with several unusual ligands, such as cyanide ions and carbon
    monoxide. Each has another metal ion or cofactor to assist the
    iron atom with the reduction/oxidation reaction. And they all
    use cys amino acids to hold everything in place.
                                                                     40
The active site complexes are an unusual combination of metal ions
and strange molecules such as cyanide and carbon monoxide, held
in place by cysteine amino acids. These complicated active sites are
constructed by a dedicated set of maturation enzymes. For
instance, the nickel-iron hydrogenases require at least seven
enzymes, powered by GTP and ATP, to build their active sites. One
of these enzymes acts as a chaperone, bonding to a key cysteine in
the active site and wrenching the protein open to make it accessible
to the other enzymes. They load in metal ions and add the cyanide
and carbon monoxide ligands. Finally, the chaperone protein
releases the cysteine and the mature hydrogenase snaps shut
around its new active site.

   Defense against alcohol

    on ethanol. The first is a zinc atom, which is
    used to hold and position the alcoholic group
    on ethanol. The second is a large NAD

   Bacteria
      4 chains similar to core.
So in our cells,3 chains made in mitochondria

The oxygen molecule itself binds lower, in the middle of the enzyme. The oxygen is
pinioned between a heme iron atom and another copper atom, denoted as site "B." A
second heme group, off to the left in this picture, assists in the transfer of electrons

                                                                                           46

   Zn inhibits ribonuclease.

   So ,dietary intake is important for the
    production of some enzymes and the
    inhibition of others

   Transition state analogs -competitive inhibition
   they mimic the structure of the substrates transition state in the
    reaction of enzyme and substrate.
   Substitution of foreign metals for the metals in metalloenzymes is an
    important mode of toxic action by metals.
   Cd toxicity is the substitution of this metal for Zn, a metal that is
    present in many metalloenzymes. This substitution occurs readily
    because of the chemical similarities between the two metals , however,
    Cd does not fulfill the biochemical function of Zn and a toxic effect
    results.
   Eg: alcohol dehydrogenase, and carbonic anhydrase
                                                                             49
   Inorganic catalyst incorporated in an inactive
    protein structure.
    Each constituent plays its part:
      The inorganic catalyst determines the
    nature of the reaction by acting as the active
    site.
     protein structure controls the production of the
     molecular form of interest and the efficiency of
     the reaction.
   In green chemistry
                                                         50
   An understanding of naturally occurring zinc-
    binding sites will aid in creating de novo zinc-
    binding proteins and in designing new metal
    sites in existing proteins for novel purposes
    such as to serve as metal ion biosensors

Editor's Notes

  • #3: Str of Hb
  • #6: nitrogen to ammonia, the oxidation of methane to methanol, and the oxidation of ammonium ions to nitritemetals are surrounded by amino acid ligands; normally these are carboxylate (glutamate or aspartate), sulfide (cysteine, occasionally methionine), or nitrogen (normally histidine) ligands,..,.sulfide s2-
  • #7: The metals resemble protons (H+) in that they are electrophiles that are able to accept an electron pair to form a chemical bond. In this aspect, metals may act as general acids to react with anionic and neutral ligandsA ligand is whatever molecule the metal interacts with
  • #11: ATP inhibits the reaction by removal of Mg2+from the substrate MgADP-. ATP also appears to inhibit the reaction competitively with respect to both ADP and PEP if the Mg2+concentration is higher than that of ATP
  • #13: The active site of alpha-amylase contains a trio of acidic groups (colored white and red) that do most of the work. In the amylase shown here (PDB entry1ppi), glutamate 233, aspartate 197, and aspartate 300 work together to cleave the connection between two sugars in a starch chain. This structure contains a short chain of five sugar units (colored yellow and orange) bound in the active site. The site of cleavage is shown in pink. A calcium ion, shown as the large gray sphere, is found nearby where it stabilizes the structure of the enzyme. A chloride ion, shown as a green sphere, is bound underneath the active site in many amylases, where it may assist the reaction.
  • #16: Lewis acids accepts electrons, Filled d orbitals
  • #17: Tissue degrdtion, prtntrnovr,psttrnsltnlmodifictn,asctacin
  • #18: coordination sphere; that is, the zinc-binding polyhedron contains at least one water molecule in addition to three or four protein ligands
  • #20: These sites are termed cocatalytic because all three metals play crucial roles in catalysis despite only the zinc activating the attacking water being termed catalytic.PHOSPHOLIPASE C
  • #24: In the first step, zinc-bound hydroxide attacks the carbonyl carbon of CO2 to form zinc-bound bicarbonate;bicarbonate is subsequently displaced with water by a ligand-exchange step. In the second step, H+ is transferred from zinc-bound water to external buffer via a shuttle group (H64 in CA II) to regenerate the catalytically active species, the zinc-bound hydroxide.
  • #25: Carbonic Anhydrase contains a bound zinc ion essential for catalytic activity. Since zinc is positive, it attracts a water molecule to its active site.1. Zinc facilitates the release of a proton from a water molecule, which generates a hydroxide ion. A zinc-bound hydroxide ion is sufficiently nucleophilic to attack2. The carbon dioxide substrate binds to the enzymes active site and is positioned to react with the hydroxide ion.3. The hydroxide ion attacks the carbon dioxide, converting it into bicarbonate ion.4. The catalytic site is regenerated with the release of the bicarbonate ion and the binding of another molecule of water.12Nitrogen atoms of three histidines--numbered 94, 96 and 119 (colored in yellow)--directly coordinate the zinc. 11 Atoms from threonine 199 and glutamate 106 interact indirectly through the bound water.Carbonicanhydrase inhibitors
  • #29: original three residues (His142, His146, and Glu166), the oxygen of the nucleophilic water, and the carbonyl oxygen of the substrateRemoval of Zn2+yields an inactive enzyme. Exogenous addition of other divalent transition metals, specifically Zn2+,Co2+, Fe2+, and Mn2+, results in the regaining of 100%, 200%, 60%, and 10% enzymatic activity
  • #32: Ultraviolet-visible radiation (400 W, 了=250-750 nm) has been shown to cause uncompetitive inhibition. Exposure times of greater than 24 minutes adversely affect the structure of CPA, form protein aggregates.
  • #41: Ni ion bridged to an Fe atom via two bridging thiolates supplied by cysteine residues of the protein
  • #43: Notice how the zinc atom, shown in light blue, is cradled by three amino acids from the protein: cysteine 46 to the left, cysteine 174 to the right, and histidine 67 above. The ethanol, shown in green and magenta, binds to the zinc and is positioned next to the NAD cofactor,
