Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

| Abstract |
The X-ray crystal structure of the vanadium bromoperoxidase from the red algae Corallina pilulifera has been solved in the presence of the known substrates, phenol red and phloroglucinol. A putative substrate binding site has been observed in the active site channel of the enzyme. In addition bromide has been soaked into the crystals and it has been shown to bind unambiguously within the enzyme active site by using the technique of single anomalous dispersion. A specific leucine amino acid is seen to move towards the bromide ion in the wild-type enzyme to produce a hydrophobic environment within the active site. A mutant of the enzyme where arginine 397 has been changed to tryptophan, shows a different behaviour on bromide binding. These results have increased our understanding of the mechanism of the vanadium bromoperoxidases and have demonstrated that the substrate and bromide are specifically bound to the enzyme active site. |
