Competition ligand-based NMR screening experiments have recently been introduced to overcome most of the problems associated with traditional screening. Molecules marginal solubility and high affinity for a given target can be easily identified in high-throughput manner by chemical mixtures against presence weak- medium-affinity ligand known binding constant. While original competition-based approaches utilized (1)H detection, significant advantages are obtained using (19)F detection. The...
Resistance to lincomycin and clindamycin in the clinical isolate Enterococcus faecium HM1025 is due a ribosomal methylase encoded by an ermAM-like gene plasmid-mediated inactivation of these antibiotics. We have cloned determined nucleotide sequence responsible for lincosamides, linB. This encodes 267-amino-acid lincosamide nucleotidyltransferase. The enzyme catalyzes 3(5'-adenylation) (the adenylation hydroxyl group position 3 molecules) clindamycin. Expression linB was observed both...
The Achilles heel of ligand-based NMR screening methods is their failure to detect high-affinity ligands and molecules that bind covalently the receptor. We have developed a novel approach for performing high-throughput with spectroscopy overcomes this limitation. method also permits detection potential are only marginally soluble, thus significantly enlarging diversity compounds amenable screening. techniques utilize transverse and/or selective longitudinal relaxation parameters in...

Aberrant activation of the phosphoinositide 3‐kinase pathway because genetic mutations essential signalling proteins has been associated with human diseases including cancer and diabetes. The pivotal role 3‐phosphoinositide‐dependent kinase‐1 in PI3K cascade made it an attractive target for therapeutic intervention.

ABSTRACT The oxazolidinones are a novel class of antibiotics that inhibit initiation protein synthesis in bacteria. In order to investigate their mechanism action, the interactions several with bacterial 70S ribosomes, 50S subunits, and 30S subunits have been characterized by 1 H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) line-broadening analyses transferred Overhauser enhancement (TRNOE) experiments. PNU-177553 PNU-100592 (eperezolid) corresponding enantiomers, PNU-184414 PNU-107112, were studied....
When used in concert, one-bond carbon-carbon correlations, and multiple-bond proton-carbon proton-nitrogen derived from two-dimensional (2D) NMR spectra of isotopically enriched proteins, provide a reliable method assigning proton, carbon, nitrogen resonances. In contrast to procedures that simply extend proton assignments carbon or resonances, this technique assigns resonances coordinately on the basis their integrated coupling networks. Redundant spin pathways ways resolving overlaps...

19F NMR-based methods have found utility in activity-based screening assays. However, because enzymes catalyze a diverse set of reactions, large variety fluorinated substrates would need to be identified target each one separately. We developed more streamlined approach that is applicable many utilize ATP as substrate. In this method, fluorine-containing analogue, 2-fluoro-ATP, used monitor the reaction. Applications are described for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide synthetase and...

A water-soluble, highly polar, heat-stable, small molecule has been isolated from cell-free extracts of the halotolerant green alga Dunaliella salina. This compound, soluble inhibitory factor (SIF), when added to in vivo light-activated, thylakoid membrane-bound preparations D. salina coupling 1 (CF1), causes a rapid inactivation ATPase activity. SIF must be its oxidized form inactivate CF1 and probably functions by oxidizing reduced light-activated enzyme. purified homogeneity characterized...
