paraoxon | competitive irreversible inhibitors of esterases. Inhibition proceeds by the formation of a reversible Michaelis complex, followed by an irreversible step, the inhibitor binds covalently to the catalytic serine (Ser188), upon binding of inhibitor, the catalytic serine adopts an altered conformation | Thermotoga maritima | |
phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride | competitive irreversible inhibitors of esterases. Inhibition proceeds by the formation of a reversible Michaelis complex, followed by an irreversible step, the inhibitor binds covalently to the catalytic serine (Ser188), upon binding of inhibitor, the catalytic serine adopts an altered conformation. In the PMSF-bound structure, the phenyl ring of the inhibitor is located in the small active site groove surrounded by hydrophobic residues Tyr92, Trp124, Pro228, Ile276, and His303. The sulfonyl group of PMSF makes hydrogen bonds with the backbone amides of Tyr92 and Gln189 | Thermotoga maritima |

Ca2+ | not required for activity, one calcium ion is located at the N-terminal region of helix alphaA-1, and is coordinated by the backbone carbonyl of Lys22 and the Glu26 carboxylate, Asp25 carboxylate contributes to the calcium binding via one of the coordinating water molecules. Another calcium ion is bound in a crystal packing interface between chain A and chain C' of a crystallographic symmetry-related hexamer and is coordinated by the carboxylates of GluA45 and AspA58 from one chain and the carboxylate from Glu C'45 (bidentate coordination) of the symmetry-related chain with three water molecules completing a capped-octahedral coordination sphere | Thermotoga maritima | |
additional information | no significant stimulation or reduction of enzyme activity in the presence of divalent metal ions or EDTA. In the paraoxon-bound structure, the diethylphosphate moiety is stabilized by hydrogen-bonding interactions with the oxyanion hole. One of the two ethyl arms of bound paraoxon points toward the larger pocket in the protein, while the other follows the groove of the small pocket. The two ethyl arms are stabilized by packing against Tyr92, Trp124, Pro228, Ile276, and His303 | Thermotoga maritima |

hexamer | the relevant physiological oligomeric state of the enzyme is a hexamer, in the crystal structure, two hexamers in the asymmetric unit, that are related by a non-crystallographic two-fold axis, contain each a dimer of trimers with a back-to-back arrangement, enzyme quaternary structure, overview. Two main interfaces play an essential role in complex formation, the first interface between subunit A and B, and he second interface between A and F. The entrance to the internal cavity is blocked by three phenylalanine residues (Phe4), one for each of three monomers that compose half of the hexamer | Thermotoga maritima |
