A likely exit path for the xenon was identified as follows. Different members of our research group placed the exit path in the same location and were able to control extraction of the xenon atom with the tug feature of the steered dynamics system without causing exaggerated perturbations of the structure. The exit path is located between the side chains of leucines 84 and 118 and of valine 87 the flexible side chain of lysine 83 lies just outside the exit and part of the time is an obstacle to a linear extraction (Fig. 1). 

The comparison of both data sources qualitatively shows a similar picture. Regions of high mobflity are located especially between the secondary structure elements, which are marked on the abscissa of the plot in Figure 7-17. Please remember that the fluctuations plotted in this example also include the amino acid side chains, not only the protein backbone. This is the reason why the side chains of large and flexible amino acids like lysine or arginine can increase the fluctuations dramatically, although the corresponding backbone remains almost immobile. In these cases, it is useful to analyze the fluctuations of the protein backbone and side chains individually.

Lipoic acid exists as a mixture of two structures a closed-ring disulfide form and an open-chain reduced form (Figure 18.33). Oxidation-reduction cycles interconvert these two species. As is the case for biotin, lipoic acid does not often occur free in nature, but rather is covalently attached in amide linkage with lysine residues on enzymes. The enzyme that catalyzes the formation of the lipoamide nk.2Lg c requires ATP and produces lipoamide-enzyme conjugates, AMP, and pyrophosphate as products of the reaction.

Figure 5.9 Models of hexo-kinase in space-filling and wireframe formats, showing the cleft that contains the active site where substrate binding and reaction catalysis occur. At the bottom is an X-ray crystal structure of the enzyme active site, showing the positions of both glucose and ADP as well as a lysine amino acid that acts as a base to deprotonate glucose.

The 20 common amino acids can be further classified as neutral, acidic, or basic, depending on the structure of their side chains. Fifteen of the twenty have neutral side chains, two (aspartic acid and glutamic acid) have an extra carboxylic acid function in their side chains, and three (lysine, arginine, and histidine) have basic amino groups in their side chains. Note that both cysteine (a thiol) and tyrosine (a phenol), although usually classified as neutral amino acids, nevertheless have weakly acidic side chains that can be deprotonated in strongly basic solution.

Enzyme activity ascribed to corepressors, which is the removal of acetyl groups from lysine residues of histone tails. Thereby the assembly of nucleosomes is maintained, which leads to a dense, transcriptional inactive chromatin structure.
