Resumen
THE EFFECT OF THE PROTONATION STATE OF THE HYDROXYL-ETHYLTHIAMIN DIPHOSPHATE INTERMEDIATE, HETHDP, ON THE ENZYME-SUBSTRATE INTERACTIONS AND THEIR CONSEQUENCES ON THE BIOSYNTHESIS OF R-PHENYLACETYLCARBINOL, R-PAC, BY THE ACETOHYDROXY ACID SYNTHASE, AHAS, IS ADDRESSED BY MOLECULAR DYNAMICS SIMULATIONS. IT IS FOUND THAT THE FORM OF HETHDP, WHICH FAVORS THE FORMATION OF R-PAC, IS THAT HAVING THE 4-AMINOPYRIMIDINE RING WITH THE N1 ATOM PROTONATED AND THE N4 ATOM AS AMINOPYRIMIDINIUM ION. UNDER THIS FORM BOTH ACTIVE SITES OF AHAS HAVE THE ABILITY TO PERFORM THE CATALYSIS, UNLIKE THAT OBSERVED FOR THE OTHER POSSIBLE PROTONATION STATES OF N1? AND N4? ATOMS.
