Asymmetric Unit (4, 4)
No. | Name | Evidence | Residues | Description |
1 | AC1 | SOFTWARE | GLU A:70 , ASN A:72 , VAL A:75 , GLU A:80 , HOH A:290 , HOH A:291 | BINDING SITE FOR RESIDUE CA A 247 |
2 | BIN | UNKNOWN | ASP A:189 , SER A:190 , CYS A:191 , GLN A:192 , SER A:214 , TRP A:215 , GLY A:216 , SER A:217 , GLY A:219 , CYS A:220 | IS THE SPECIFIC BINDING POCKET. ASP 189 AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS POCKET FORMS AN H-BOND TO THE POSITIVELY CHARGED SIDE CHAIN OF A SPECIFIC SUBSTRATE, GIVING TRYPSIN ITS SPECIFICITY FOR THIS TYPE OF SIDE CHAIN. THE BACKBONE IN THE REGION FROM SER 214 TO CYS 220 IS INVOLVED IN HYDROGEN BONDING TO A PEPTIDE SUBSTRATE. |
3 | CAT | UNKNOWN | HIS A:57 , ASP A:102 , GLY A:193 , MIS A:195 | THE CATALYTIC SITE. IT IS COMPOSED OF RESIDUES ASP 102, HIS 57 AND MIS 195. THE OG ATOM OF MIS 195 NUCLEOPHILICALLY ATTACKS THE SUBSTRATE CARBONYL CARBON ATOM. ASP 102 AND HIS 57 TOGETHER PROVIDE GENERAL BASE CATALYSIS. THE N-H GROUPS OF GLY 193 AND MIS 195 STABILIZE REACTION INTERMEDIATES THROUGH H-BONDS TO THE SUBSTRATE CARBONYL OXYGEN ATOM. |
4 | ION | UNKNOWN | GLU A:70 , ASP A:71 , ASN A:72 , ILE A:73 , ASN A:74 , VAL A:75 , VAL A:76 , GLU A:77 , GLY A:78 , ASN A:79 , GLU A:80 | CONTAINS A TIGHTLY BOUND POSITIVE ION WHICH IS PROBABLY A CA2+ IN THIS STRUCTURE. THE ION IS GIVEN SEQUENCE IDENTIFIER CA 247 AND OCCURS AMONG THE WATER MOLECULES AT THE END OF THIS ENTRY. THE ION IS COORDINATED IN A ROUGHLY OCTAHEDRAL FASHION BY GLU 70, ASN 72, VAL 75, GLU 80, HOH 341 AND HOH 342 AS SPECIFIED IN THE LINK RECORDS. THIS REGION WAS FIRST IDENTIFIED AS THE PRIMARY CA2+ BINDING SITE OF TRYPSIN BY BODE AND SCHWAGER, F.E.B.S. LETT., VOL. 56, P139 (1975). |
