	abstract = {A marine natural product extract library has been screened with a functional cell-based G-protein coupled receptor assay to find compounds capable of binding the human cannabinoid receptors CB1 and CB2. The methanol extract of the marine sponge Dasychalina fragilis collected in Papua New Guinea was active in the assay. Bioassay guided fractionation of the extract identified the phosphorylated sterol sulfate haplosamate A(1) as a cannabinoid receptor agonist. The high water solubility of haplosamate A(1) allowed exploration of its binding interactions with the human cannabinoid recepors in whole insect cells by means of saturation transfer double-difference NMR spectroscopy. This technique confirmed that haplosamate A(1) binds selectively to these receptors.},

	abstract = {Ultraviolet resonance Raman spectroscopy (UVRRS), electronic absorption spectroscopy, and X-ray crystallography were used to probe the nature of the binding of 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl (DHB) to the extradiol ring-cleavage enzyme, 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl 1,2-dioxygenase (DHBD; EC 1.13.11.39). The lowest lying transitions in the electronic absorption spectrum of DHBD-bound DHB occurred at 299 nm, compared to 305 nm for the monoanionic DHB species in buffer. In contrast, the corresponding transitions in neutral and dianionic DHB occurred at 283 and 348 nm, respectively, indicating that DHBD-bound DHB is monoanionic. These binding-induced spectral changes, and the use of custom-designed optical fiber probes, facilitated UVRR experiments. The strongest feature of the UVRR spectrum of DHB was a Y8a-like mode around 1600 cm(-1), whose position depended strongly on the protonation state of the DHB. In the spectrum of the DHBD-bound species, this feature occurred at 1603 cm-1, as observed in the spectrum of monoanionic DHB. Raman band shifts were observed in deuterated solvent, ruling out dianionic binding of the substrate. Thus, the electronic absorption and UVRRS data demonstrate that DHBD binds its catecholic substrate as a monoanion, definitively establishing this feature of the proposed mechanism of extradiol dioxygenases. This conclusion is supported by a crystal structure of the DHBD:DHB complex at 2.0 Angstrom resolution, which suggests that the substrate{\textquoteright}s 2-hydroxyl substituent, and not the 3-hydroxyl group, deprotonates upon binding. The structural data also show that the aromatic rings of the enzyme-bound DHB are essentially orthogonal to each other. Thus, the 6 nm blue shift of the transition for bound DHB relative to the monoanion in solution could indicate a conformational change upon binding. Catalytic roles of active site residues are proposed based on the structural data and previously proposed mechanistic schemes.},

	abstract = {Endoglucanase C (CenC), a beta 1,4 glucanase from the soil bacterium Cellulomonas fimi, binds to amorphous cellulose via two homologous cellulose binding domains, termed CBDN1 and CBDN2. in this work, the contributions of 10 amino acids within the binding cleft of CBDN1 were evaluated by single site-directed mutations to alanine residues. Each isolated domain containing a single mutation was analyzed for binding to an insoluble amorphous preparation of cellulose, phosphoric acid swollen Avicel (PASA), and to a soluble glucopyranoside polymer, barley beta-glucan. The effect of any given mutation on CBD binding was similar for both substrates, suggesting that the mechanism of binding to soluble and insoluble substrates is the same. Tyrosines 19 and 85 were essential for tight binding by CBDN1 as their replacement by alanine results in affinity decrements of approximately 100-fold on PASA, barley beta-glucan, and soluble cellooligosaccharides. The tertiary structures of unbound Y19A and Y85A were assessed by heteronuclear single quantum coherence (HSQC) spectroscopy. These studies indicated that the structures of both mutants were perturbed but that all perturbations are very near to the site of mutation.},

	abstract = {Differential scanning calorimetry has been used to study the thermal stability and oligosaccharide-binding thermodynamics of the N-terminal cellulose-binding domain of Cellulomonas fimi beta-1,4-glucanase CenC (CBDN1) CBDN1 has a relatively low maximum stability (Delta G(max) = 33 kJ/mol = 216 J/residue at 1 degrees C and pH 6.1) compared to other small single-domain globular proteins. The unfolding is fully reversible between pH 5.5 and 9 and in accordance with the two-state equilibrium model between pH 5.5 and 11. When the single disulfide bond in CBDN1 is reduced, the protein remains unfolded at all conditions, as judged by NMR spectroscopy. This indicates that the intramolecular cross-link makes a major contribution to the stability of CBDN1. The measured heat capacity change of unfolding (Delta C-p = 7.5 kJ mol(-1) K-1) agrees well with that calculated from the predicted changes in the solvent accessible nonpolar and polar surface areas upon unfolding. Extrapolation of the specific enthalpy and entropy of unfolding to their respective convergence temperature indicates that per residue unfolding energies for CBDN1, an isolated domain, are in accordance with those found by Privalov (1) for many single-domain globular proteins. DSC thermograms of the unfolding of CBDN1 in the presence of various concentrations of cellopentaose were fit to a thermodynamic model describing the linkage between protein-ligand binding and protein unfolding. A global two-dimensional minimization routine is used to regress the binding enthalpy, binding constant, and unfolding thermodynamics for the CBDN1-cellopentaose system. Extrapolated binding constants are in quantitative agreement with those determined by isothermal titration calorimetry at 35 degrees C.},

	abstract = {Detailed solution kinetic and equilibria data (mainly in toluene) are presented for the reversible binding of CO and O2 to the five-coordinate hemes Fe(por)B, where B is 1,5-dicyclohexylimidazole or 1,2-dimethylimidazole (chosen to mimic the R- and T-states, respectively) and por = the dianion of some durene-capped porphyrins with variable length linking methylene straps on either side of the durene moiety (4/4, 5/5, or 7/7 methylenes). Use of spectrophotometric equilibrium titrations from 30 to -50-degrees-C, stopped-flow data, and laser flash photolysis under either CO or CO/O2 mixtures, has allowed for determination of on and off rates, equilibrium constants, and, in the case of the 4/4-system, thermodynamic constants for the binding. Increasing steric hindrance provided by the durene cap, in the order 7/7 < 5/5 < 4/4, is generally less than expected from studies with other heme derivatives; in combination with the complete absence of polarity effects, as within nonpolar distal sites, the durene hemes exhibit poor differentiation between CO and O2. However, the distorted 4/4-derivative discriminates between CO and O2 in a novel way through a {\textquoteright}{\textquoteright}proximal effect{\textquoteright}{\textquoteright} associated with deformation of the porphyrin skeleton from planarity, the effect being largely reflected by an increased CO dissociation rate.},
