Abstract

Paramagnetic NMR data can be profitably incorporated in structural refinement protocols of metalloproteins or metal-substituted proteins, mostly as distance or angle restraints. However, they could in principle provide much more information, because the magnetic susceptibility of a paramagnetic metal ion is largely determined by its coordination sphere. This information can in turn be used to evaluate changes occurring in the coordination sphere of the metal when ligands (e.g.: inhibitors) are bound to the protein. This gives an experimental handle on the molecular structure in the vicinity of the metal which falls in the so-called blind sphere. The magnetic susceptibility anisotropy tensors of cobalt(II) and nickel(II) ions bound to human carbonic anhydrase II in free and inhibited forms have been determined. The change of the magnetic susceptibility anisotropy is directly linked to the binding mode of different ligands in the active site of the enzyme. Indication about the metal coordination sphere in the presence of an inhibitor in pharmaceutically relevant proteins could be important in the design of selective drugs with a structure-based approach.
