I. Bertini et al., SUBSTRATE, SUBSTRATE-ANALOG, AND INHIBITOR INTERACTIONS WITH THE FERROUS ACTIVE-SITE OF CATECHOL 2,3-DIOXYGENASE MONITORED THROUGH XAS STUDIES, FEBS letters, 350(2-3), 1994, pp. 207-212
The interactions of catechol (substrate), 2-hydroxy-pyridine-N-oxide (
substrate analogue), and 2-bromophenol (inhibitor) with the extradiol
cleaving catechol-2,3-dioxygenase from Pseudomonas putida mt-2 have be
en monitored through X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS). The analysis
of the data provides details about the mode of coordination of the su
bstrate and of the inhibitors to the active site of the enzyme.
