Crystal Structure Analysis of Lysozyme-bound fac-[Re(CO)3(L-serine)]
Structural highlights
FunctionLYSC_CHICK Lysozymes have primarily a bacteriolytic function; those in tissues and body fluids are associated with the monocyte-macrophage system and enhance the activity of immunoagents. Has bacteriolytic activity against M.luteus.[1] Publication Abstract from PubMedThe reactivity of the [Re(CO)(3)(H(2)O)(2)](+) complex coordinated to the His15 residue of HEW lysozyme is described. In the fully metalated protein (Lys-1), the Re ion retains its reactivity only toward selected ligands, while others induce a ligand-mediated demetalation of the enzyme. It is further shown that some of the complexes that may be "engineered" on the lysozyme do not react with the free protein even if present in solution in excess. The formation of stable metal adducts starting from Lys-1 was confirmed by X-ray crystallography.
