additional information | Model chemistry by second-order Moller-Plessett perturbation theory calculations, phenylalanine in position 103 is replaced by all native amino acids. The mutant residues which conserve an aromatic side chain (tyrosine and tryptophan) retain near 100% interaction energy with the carbidopa, and thus most likely retain full protein function. Arginine has an interaction energy of 555% of the wild-type. This is due to the fact that the long, polar side chain is able to find a geometry where a hydrogen bond is being made with the hydroxyl group of the carbidopa. The small side chains are not close enough to the carbidopa to have a large deal of dispersion/induction interactions. Residues are arranged by the size of the side chain, and with a few exception, the interaction energy generally increases with size of the side chain. Glycine, alanine, serine, threonine, and histidine all fall below the above mentioned 20% threshold and would likely cause a loss of protein function. Serine contains a polar side chain and histidine has pi-electrons, yet these residues are too small and too far removed to have strong interactions. | Homo sapiens |
