Enzyme catalysis relies on conformational plasticity, but structural information on transient intermediates is difficult to obtain. We show that the three-dimensional (3D) structure of an unstable, low-abundance enzymatic intermediate can be determined by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The approach is demonstrated for Staphylococcus aureus sortase A (SrtA), which is an established drug target and biotechnological reagent. SrtA is a transpeptidase that converts an amide bond of a substrate peptide into a thioester. By measuring pseudocontact shifts (PCSs) generated by a site-specific cysteine-reactive paramagnetic tag that does not react with the active-site residue Cys184, a sufficient number of restraints were collected to determine the 3D structure of the unstable thioester intermediate of SrtA that is present only as a minor species under non-equilibrium conditions. The 3D structure reveals structural changes that protect the thioester intermediate against hydrolysis.
A second-generation copper(II)-mediated metallo-DNA-base pair

Metal-dependent pairing of nucleobases represents an alternative DNA base pairing scheme. Our first-generation copper(II)-mediated pyridine-2,6- dicarboxylate (Dipic) and pyridine (Py) metallo-base pair has a stability comparable to the natural base pairs dA:dT and dC:dG but does not have the selectivity of the Watson Crick base pairs. In order to increase the selectivity of base pair formation, a second-generation metallo-base pair was generated consisting of a pyridine-2,6-dicarboxamide (Dipam) and a pyridine (Py) nucleobase. This new metallo-base pair is more stable than the natural base pairs dA:dT and dC:dG and highly selective against mispairing. In addition, incorporation of multiple metallo-base pairs into DNA results in the formation of stable duplexes demonstrating that hydrogen bonding base pairs can efficiently be replaced by metal-dependent base pairs at multiple sites in DNA.
