Abstract:
The time-resolved fluorescence of 2-aminopurine (2AP) has been used to investigate DNA base flipping by the adenine methyltransferases and to study aspects of the DNA-enzyme interaction. 2AP is an excellent fluorophore to probe base flipping in the adenine methyltransferases because, as demonstrated in the present work on M.TaqI, the 2AP is delivered into the same position inside the enzyme as the natural target adenine and with the same orientation that prepares the adenine for enzyme catalysis. 2AP emits two types of fluorescence when in DNA. The first is the well-known 370-nm emission, whic

For many enzymes to function correctly they must have the freedom to display a level of dynamics or communication during their catalytic cycle. The effects that protein dynamics and communication can have are wide ranging, from changes in substrate specificity or product profiles, to speed of reaction or switching activity on or off. This project investigates the protein dynamics and communication in two separate systems, a non-ribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS), and a protein arginine methyltransferase (PRMT).

COMT activity can also be regulated pharmacologically by COMT inhibitors. The ‘inverted-U’ relationship between dopamine signalling and cognitive performance predicts that the effects of COMT inhibition will differ according to COMT genotype.
