title: Characterization of the complex of a trifluoromethyl-substituted shikimate-based bisubstrate inhibitor and 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase by REDOR NMR.
abstract: A combination of (15)N[(19)F], (31)P[(15)N], and (31)P[(19)F] rotational-echo double-resonance NMR has been used to characterize the conformation of a bound trifluoromethylketal, shikimate-based bisubstrate inhibitor of 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase. The solid-state NMR experiments were performed on the complex formed in solution and then lyophilized at low temperatures in the presence of stabilizing lyoprotectants. The results of these experiments indicate that none of the side chains of the six arginines that surround the active site forms a compact salt bridge with the phosphate groups of the bound inhibitor.
