1.1.98.3 | crystals are grown from a mixture of ethyl acetate/heptane by slow evaporation |
1.1.98.3 | different crystal forms of ligand-free enzyme reveal considerable levels of structural flexibility of two surface loops that seem to govern accessibility of the active site. Structures of complexes with the benzothiazinone-derived nitroso derivative 3-nitroso-N-[(1R)-1-phenylethyl]-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzamide reveal that inhibitor binding includes a covalent link to conserved Cys387, and reveal a trifluoromethyl group as a second key determinant of interaction with the enzyme. A noncovalent complex is formed between the enzyme and 3-nitro-N-[(1R)-1-phenylethyl]-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzamide, which is structurally identical to 3-nitroso-N-[(1R)-1-phenylethyl]-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzamide except for an inert nitro group replacing the reactive nitroso group. Binding of benzothiazinone-class inhibitors to the enzyme is not strictly dependent on formation of the covalent link to Cys387 |
1.1.98.3 | sitting drop vapor diffusion method, using 15-20% (v/v) isopropanol, 0.2 M sodium citrate pH 6.8, and 0.5% (w/v) N,N-dimethyldodecylamine-N-oxide |
