Effect of amine ligand bulk on the interaction of methionine with platinum(II) diamine complexes.
Molecular mechanics and dynamics calculations have been used in conjunction with experimental data to study the effects of amine ligand bulk on the formation of both guanine and methionine complexes with platinum diamine compounds. The AMBER force field has been supplemented with previous modifications [Yao; et al. Inorg. Chem. 1994, 33, 6061-6077. Cerasino; et al. Inorg. Chem. 1997, 36, 6070-6079] and has been further modified to include parameters for platinum bound to the sulfur atom of methionine. Molecular mechanics calculations with this modified AMBER force field have suggested that a platinum complex with two sulfur-bound methionine ligands and a bulky diamine ligand (N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine, Me(4)en) would have severe interligand clashes; such interligand clashes are less pronounced in bis(9-ethylguanine) complexes. Consistent with these observations, NMR studies with [Pt(Me(4)en)(D(2)O)(2)](2+) have indicated that guanine 5'-monophosphate reacts in a 2:1 guanine:platinum ratio while both methionine and N-acetylmethionine react with only a 1:1 stoichiometry. Methionine forms a chelate via the sulfur and nitrogen atoms whereas N-acetylmethionine forms a chelate via the sulfur and oxygen atoms. The oxygen of the latter chelate can be displaced by the addition of guanosine 5'-monophosphate, although complete displacement of the N-acetylmethionine was not observed.
