Fragments binding

Whereas now the bond cleavage reaction is nonsurface dependent, the reverse reaction clearly is. The stronger the NH2 and NH fragments bind, the higher the barrier for the recombination reaction. In the case of methane activation we found the reverse situation. Both situations are consistent with microscopic reversibihty.

To learn whether the disulfide bond itself changed how the fragment binds, we determined the crystal structure of N-tosyl-D-proline bound non-covalently to TS. As shown in Fig. 9.5, the free fragment binds in a nearly identical manner to the disulfide-linked fragment, demonstrating that the covalent linkage does not affect how the fragment binds.

As mentioned above, all data in the analysis are from fragment screens using NMR spectroscopy to detect fragment binding... 

Add known competitor and acquire the STD experiment again, to confirm the fragment binds in the site of interest. If there is good competition, the STD signal for the fragment should decrease with the addition of a tight inhibitor. 

The hexaadducts [C60 M(PEt3)2 6] (M = Ni, Pd, Pt) involve an octahedral array of metal moieties in a similar fashion to C60 C(CO2Et)2 6 and possess the very rare point group Th (16). It is believed that each metal fragment binds to one fullerene C=C bond and sterically blocks the neighboring four, so that six moieties will block all 30 C=C bonds of C60. Hence, 7r-adducts involving more than six addends are likely to be difficult to prepare. 

The (l-4- /4-CC)T)iron complex 63 is of some historical significance. As expected, the [Fe(CO)3] fragment binds to four contiguous carbon atoms,... 

Reversible (noncovalent) binding events can be detected with nondenaturing ESI-MS.151-541 A considerable advantage of the method is that the stoichiometry of the binding event is measured directly. As a consequence, it is possible to observe directly if two fragments bind simultaneously. There is also direct information on compound solubility and integrity, in addition to the state of the target protein. The method suffers, however, from a few major...
