2. 1. Understanding molecular mechanisms of protein tyrosine kinases by molecular dynamics and free energy calculations

   Author : Yaozong Li; Kwangho Nam; Magnus Wolf-Watz; Amedeo Caflisch; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; kinase; IRK; IGF-1RK; phosphorylation; activation loop; molecular dynamics; phosphoryl transfer; alchemical free energy; dynamical network; correlation map; PCA; motion projection; Gaussian softcore; free energy landscape; kinase catalysis;

   Abstract : Background: Insulin receptor kinase (IRK) and Insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor kinase (IGF-1RK) are two important members in the large class of tyrosine kinase receptors. They play pivotalroles in the regulation of glucose homeostasis, cell proliferation, differentiation, motility, andtransformation. READ MORE

4. 2. Enzymatic mechanisms in biotin synthesis : vitamin B6 catalysis and phosphoryl transfer

   Author : Jenny Sandmark; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : X-ray crystallography; biotin biosynthesis; pyridoxal-5 -phosphate; aminotransferase; aluminium fluoride; S-adenosyl-L-methionine; 7; 8-diaminopelargonic acid synthase; dethiobiotin synthetase; biotin; phosphoryl transfer; amiclenomycin.;

   Abstract : With the large number of pathogenic bacteria that have developed antibiotic resistance it is increasingly important to find new targets for antibiotics. Our interest in the biotin biosynthesis pathway originates from this drug design perspective. All organisms require biotin, but it is only synthesised in bacteria, in plants and in some fungi.

5. 3. Promiscuity and Selectivity in Phosphoryl Transferases

   Author : Alexandre Barrozo; Shina Kamerlin; Qiang Cui; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; phosphate chemistry; linear free energy relationships; phosphatase; catalytic promiscuity; empirical valence bond approach; alkaline phosphatase;

   Abstract : Phosphoryl transfers are essential chemical reactions in key life processes, including energy production, signal transduction and protein synthesis. They are known for having extremely low reaction rates in aqueous solution, reaching the scale of millions of years. READ MORE

6. 4. Crystallographic studies of gluconate kinase

   Author : Louise Kraft; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The first steps of gluconate metabolism in Escherichia coli are the transport of gluconate into the cell by a gluconate transport system, followed by phosphorylation to gluconate-6- phosphate by gluconate kinase. There exist two such different pathways, Grill and GntIl, respectively. READ MORE

7. 5. Computer Simulation of Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase Reaction Mechanisms and Dihydrofolate Reductase Inhibition

   Author : Karin Kolmodin; Ernst-Walter Knapp; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cell and molecular biology; Cell- och molekylärbiologi; Cell and molecular biology; Cell- och molekylärbiologi; Molecular Biotechnology; Molekylär bioteknik;

   Abstract : Protein tyrosine phosphatases catalyse the hydrolysis of phosphotyrosine residues in proteins, which is an important reaction in the cell signalling system. The three dimensional structure of such a protein tyrosine phosphatase has been used in a computational study of the reaction mechanism at the atomic level. READ MORE
