Once the holin has permeabilized the host cell membrane, the endolysin can reach the periplasm and break down the peptidoglycan layer. Publication Abstract from PubMed The structures and stabilities of proteins are defined by a series of weak non-covalent electrostatic, van der Waals, and hydrogen bond (HB) interactions. In this study, we have designed and engineered halogen bonds (XBs) site-specifically in order to study their structure-energy relationship in a model protein, T4 lysozyme. The evidence for XBs is the displacement of the aromatic side chain towards an oxygen acceptor, at distances that are at or less than the sums of their respective van der Waals radii, when the hydroxyl substituent of the wildtype tyrosine is replaced by an iodine. In addition, thermal melting studies show that the iodine XB rescues the stabilization energy from an otherwise destabilizing substitution (at an equivalent non-interacting site), indicating that the interaction is also present in solution. Quantum chemical calculations show that the XB complements an HB at this site and that solvent structure must also be considered in trying to design molecular interactions such as XBs into biological systems. A bromine substitution also shows displacement of the side chain, but the distances and geometries do not indicate formation of an XB. Thus, we have dissected the contributions from various non-covalent interactions of halogens introduced into proteins, to drive the application of XBs, particularly in biomolecular design.
