NMR spectroscopic and theoretical study of the complexation of the inhibitor allosamidin in the binding pocket of the plant chitinase hevamine.
Based on NMR spectroscopic information about the allosamidin-hevamine complex, ab initio MO calculations of the ring current effect of the aromatic moieties of Trp255, Tyr183 and Tyr6 of hevamine were carried out to investigate the role of these amino acid residues in binding interactions with allosamidin in solution. In addition, the intermolecular steric compression effect on the 13C chemical shifts of the allosamizoline carbon atoms and the hydrogen bonding to Glu127 was identified. It can be inferred that the binding forces are strongest in the allosamizoline moiety of allosamidin.
