Cs27: Catalysis V. Trimeric G-proteins: Incomplete, defective enzymes and signaling Biochemistry 655 26 October 2009
Goals • The ultimate fragmentation of the enzymatic cycle… • Irreversibility: DGhydrolysis = -7 Kcal/mole! • Catalysis involves three fundamental steps - • Induced-fit, catalysis, product release are forced to occur separately • Recruiting and exploiting Gaps and Gefs • …makes a molecular transistor • Survey the active site of Ras GTPase • GTP hydrolysis as phosphoryl transfer • Associative, dissociative transition states • A “requirement” for arginine • Respecting the fragmentation of the enzymatic cycle solved a problem in structural biology • Aluminum tri(tetra) fluoride as a transition-state analog • Crystallizing the transition state analog complex
