Assalamualaikum... its was a long day after our kuizes. Today is our last class with madam Noraslinda. We had learn about Protein Data Bank.
Protein Data Bank is a respiratory for three-dimensional structure data of large biological molecules, such as proteins and nucleic acids.
The data, typically obtained by X-ray crystallography or NMR spectroscopy and submitted by biologists and biochemists from around the world, are freely accessible on the Internet via the websites of its member organisations
The PDB is overseen by an organization called the Worldwide Protein Data Bank, wwPDB.
The PDB is a key resource in areas of structural biology, such as structural genomics. Most major scientific journals, and some funding agencies, such as the NIH in the USA, now require scientists to submit their structure data to the PDB.
If the contents of the PDB are thought of as primary data, then there are hundreds of derived (i.e., secondary) databases that categorize the data differently. For example, both SCOP and CATH categorize structures according to type of structure and assumed evolutionary relations; GO categorize structures based on genes.
1. NEPRILYSIN
Neutral endopeptidase (NEP) is the major enzyme involved in the metabolic inactivation of a number of bioactive peptides including the enkephalins, substance P, endothelin, bradykinin and atrial natriuretic factor. Owing to the physiological importance of NEP in the modulation of nociceptive and pressor responses, there is considerable interest in inhibitors of this enzyme as novel analgesics and antihypertensive agents. Here, the crystal structures of the soluble extracellular domain of human NEP (residues 52-749) complexed with various potent and competitive inhibitors are described. The structures unambiguously reveal the binding mode of the different zinc-chelating groups and the subsite specificity of the enzyme.
2. LONA
Lon ATP-dependent proteases are key components of the protein quality control systems of bacterial cells and eukaryotic organelles.
Eubacterial Lon proteases contain an N terminal domain, an ATPase domain, and a protease domain, all in one polypeptide chain.
