Geometry glutamine

Our studies of the substrates [glutamate (I) and ATP] and of substrate analogs [AMP-P-(CH2)-P and methionine sulfoximine] reveal interactions between both substrate sites and both metal ion sites. Previously mentioned studies by Meister s group showed that the irreversible inhibition of glutamine synthetase in the presence of L-methionine (S)-sulfoximine and ATP was due to formation of the sulfoximine phosphate (IV). The tetrahedral geometry at the sulfur atom of the sulfoximine was suggested to be a mimic of the active structure of the adduct of y-glutamyl phosphate and ammonia (III). Data in our laboratory provide spectroscopic evidence that methionine...

Similar calculations were performed for the individual amino acids (Table 1 of Section 5.3). Some amino acids in aqueous solutions at a certain pH are present in the zwitterionic state, which affects the nature of the interaction with the solvent molecules. In this chapter, the molecules of glycine (Gly) and glutamine (Gin) were examined in two states simple and zwitterion. The geometry of the ground state is determined in the COSMO solvent model. Comparison with experimental data showed that for the non-zwitterionic state the diffusion coefficients are somewhat underestimated, indicating the need for a more accurate accounting of the charge distribution and structural features of the particles.
