19F-n.m.r. spectroscopy was used to study the binding of 3',5'-difluoromethotrexate to dihydrofolate reductase (tetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase) from Lactobacillus casei. The benzoyl ring of the bound difluoromethotrexate was found to 'flip' about its symmetry axis, and the rate (7.3 X 10(3) s-1 at 298 K) and activation parameters for this process were determined by lineshape analysis of the 19F-n.m.r. spectrum at a series of temperatures in the range 273-308 K. The contributions to the barrier for this process are discussed. Addition of NADP+ or NADPH to form the enzyme-difluoromethotrexate-coenzyme ternary complex led to an increase in the rate of benzoyl ring flipping by a factor of 2.6-2.8-fold, and to substantial changes in the 19F-n.m.r. chemical shifts. The possible nature of the coenzyme-induced conformational changes responsible for these effects is discussed.
利用19F核磁共振光谱研究了3',5'-二氟甲氨蝶呤与干酪乳杆菌二氢叶酸还原酶(四氢叶酸脱氢酶)的结合情况。发现结合态二氟甲氨蝶呤的苯甲酰环绕其对称轴“翻转”,通过对273 - 308 K范围内一系列温度下的19F核磁共振谱进行线形分析,确定了该过程的速率(298 K时为7.3×10³ s⁻¹)和活化参数。讨论了该过程中势垒的贡献。添加NADP⁺或NADPH形成酶 - 二氟甲氨蝶呤 - 辅酶三元复合物,导致苯甲酰环翻转速率增加2.6 - 2.8倍,并使19F核磁共振化学位移发生显著变化。讨论了辅酶诱导的构象变化导致这些效应的可能性质。
