NMR-assisted crystallog.-the integrated application of solid-state NMR, x-ray crystallog., and 1st-principles computational chem.-holds significant promise for mechanistic enzymol.: by providing at.-resolution characterization of stable intermediates in enzyme active sites, including H atom locations and tautomeric equilibrium, NMR crystallog. offers insight into both structure and chem. dynamics. This integrated approach is used to characterize the tryptophan synthase α-aminoacrylate intermediate, a defining species for pyridoxal-5′-phosphate-dependent enzymes that catalyze β-elimination and replacement reactions. For this intermediate, NMR-assisted crystallog. is able to identify the protonation states of the ionizable sites on the cofactor, substrate, and catalytic side chains as well as the location and orientation of crystallog. waters within the active site. Most notable is the H2O mol. immediately adjacent to the substrate β-C, which serves as a H bond donor to the ε-amino group of the acid-base catalytic residue βLys87. From this anal., a detailed 3-dimensional picture of structure and reactivity emerges, highlighting the fate of the
(4-Formyl-5-hydroxy-6-methylpyridin-3-yl)methyl dihydrogen phosphate (cas: 54-47-7) belongs to pyridine derivatives. Pyridines are an important class of heterocycles and occur in polysubstituted forms in many naturally occurring biologically active compounds, drug molecules and chiral ligands. One of the examples of pyridines is the well-known alkaloid lithoprimidine, which is an A3 adenosine receptor antagonist and N,N-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) analog, commonly used in organic synthesis.COA of Formula: C8H10NO6P
