Abstract

The structures of novel, solubilised forms of the interface domain (responsible for the dimerisation) from the homologous flavoprotein disulphide oxidoreductases, glutathione reductase and dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase, will be determined by means of 3D and 4D NMR spectroscopy These will be compared with the structures of the same domains, determined elsewhere by X-ray crystallography. The results will throw important new light on the processes of molecular recognition that underlie assembly of the dimeric enzymes, on the relationship of buried surface area to protein stability, and on the assembly of the 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase complex of which dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase is part.
