    Notes: An MD simulation of the system carboxypeptidase A (CPA) with the tetrapeptide Val-Leu-Phe-Phe has been performed in order to learn about the substrate disposition just prior to nucleophilic attack. We have explored the model in which the substrate does not substitute the zinc-coordinated water (the “water” mechanism). The simulations do suggest as feasible that the Zn-OH2 group performs a nucleophilic attack on the Phe-Phe peptidic bond. We have also investigated the model in which the carbonyl oxygen displaces the zinc-coordinated water. In this case the substrate and Glu-270 orient themselves to allow an anhydride intermediate during the peptidic bond cleavage (the “anhydride” mechanism). Based on the results of the simulations, both “water” and “anhydride” mechanisms are structurally feasible, although the former model seems more probable on chemical grounds. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The pseudocontact shifts of NMR signals, which arise from the magnetic susceptibility anisotropy of paramagnetic molecules, have been used as structural constraints under the form of a pseudopotential in the SANDER module of the AMBER 4.1 molecular dynamics software package. With this procedure, restrained energy minimization (REM) and restrained molecular dynamics (RMD) calculations can be performed on structural models by using pseudocontact shifts. The structure of the cyanide adduct of the Met80Ala mutant of the yeast iso-1-cytochrome c has been used for successfully testing the calculations. For this protein, a family of structures is available, which was obtained by using NOE and pseudocontact shifts as constraints in a distance geometry program. The structures obtained by REM and RMD calculations with the inclusion of pseudocontact shifts are analyzed. Proteins 29:68-76, 1997. © 1997 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: Through 1D and 2D NOESY experiments, samples of copper-cobalt superoxide dismutase in which the histidines had been completely deuteriated except for the β-CH2 protons were investigated. In this way a simplified spectrum was obtained which allowed the detection of the His NHs of the cobalt domain and their assignment through the kinetics of the proton-deuterium exchange. Further, the β-CH2 protons of Asp 83 were stereospecifically assigned through T1 measurements. Some backbone protons were also assigned.
