| Description | The enzyme 3-isopropylmalate dehydrogenase (IPMDH) from T. thermophilus, which catalyses the penultimate reaction step of the leucine-biosynthesis pathway, has been crystallized in various states along its reaction coordinate. The Thermus thermophilus 3-isopropylmalate dehydrogenase (Tt-IPMDH) enzyme catalyses the penultimate step of the leucine-biosynthesis pathway. It converts (2R,3S)-3-isopropylmalate to (2S)-2-isopropyl-3-oxosuccinate in the presence of divalent Mg2+ or Mn2+ and with the help of NAD+. In order to elucidate the detailed structural and functional mode of the enzymatic reaction, crystals of Tt-IPMDH were grown in the presence of various combinations of substrate and/or cofactors. Here, the crystallization, data collection and preliminary crystallographic analyses of six such complexes are reported. |
