Protein Data Bank • The PDB is a resource which compiles essential information about many proteins. • Go to the PDB website at www.pdb.org.
PC1 – β-lactamase • We’ll be investigating β-lactamase. Type PC1 into the search box. • More than one result is produced… • How should we choose the one we want to look at? • What does the information given about each mean? • How do you know? • Which one do you think we should choose?
3blm • Click on 3blm • Underneath the image of the structure, click on ProteinWorkshop. • Ribbon vs. Atom view • Color changes • Label changes
Our preferred view • Ribbons • Colored by compound • No water molecules visible (for now)
1°, 2° Structure • Divide into pairs. Each group will investigate the following portions of the enzyme. • Residues 31-100 • Residues 101-170 • Residues 171-240 • Residues 241-290 • First make your residues visible as atoms and molecules (visibility tool) As you go, use your amino acid reference translate each residue’s 3 letter abbreviation into it’s 1 letter abbreviation. Type this your 1 letter list into a Powerpoint slide and email it to me. We’ll combine this information in the next slide. • Use the labeling tool to label your segment by residue. • Prepare to show and tell and to describe the geometry of your segment
1° structure • Residues 31-100 • Residues 101-170 • Residues 171-240 • Residues 241-290
Hydropathicity • Describes the hydrophillicness / hydrophobicness of a protein. • Two ways: • Change coloring in Protein Workshop • Input your sequence into a Kyte-Doolittle converter (http://www.vivo.colostate.edu/molkit/hydropathy/index.html) • Do both of these and be prepared to describe your segment’s 2° structure in terms of the result.
3° structure • Let’s try to group the types of tertiary indicators found in your segments • α-helices • β-sheets • Turns • Folds –
4° structure • With your partner, go back to the pdb mainpage for 3blm and try to determine the 4° structure. • Look to see if there are any ligands. Think about what a ligand would be and would mean in this context. • Prepare to justify your conclusions to your classmates.
What about water in the β-lactams senario? It is this reaction which β-lactamases catalyze!
So what now? • You’re the drug researcher trying to develop a effective β-lactam… • What considerations should you investigate regarding β-lactamases? • What traits of the β-lactams? • What traits of the β-lactamases? • Which are more easily studied?
