| Abstract | 3-Phosphoglycerate kinase is composed of two globular domains separated by a wide cleft. The substrate binding sites are situated on the inner surfaces of the two domains. By analogy to other kinases, it has been postulated that the catalytic mechanism of phosphoglycerate kinase involves a hinge bending domain motion that brings the substrates together to allow phosphoryl transfer. To characterize this large-scale conformational change, as well as the dynamics of the unliganded enzyme in solution, we have applied site-directed mutagenesis and time-resolved nonradiative energy transfer techniques. Two genetically engineered cysteines (Cys-135 and Cys-290), one in each of the two domains, were covalently labeled with a donor and acceptor pair of fluorescent probes. Analysis of subnanosecond fluorescence decay curves yielded the equilibrium distribution of interdomain distances. In the absence of substrates, the distribution of distances between the two labeled sites was very broad, with a full width at half maximum estimated as 20 A or broader, indicative of a large number of conformational substates in solution. The mean distance, 31.5 +/- 1 A, was 8 A smaller than in the crystal structure. Upon addition of ATP alone or of ATP and 3-phosphoglycerate, the average distance increased to 38 +/- 1 A and the width of the distribution decreased. Addition of 3-phosphoglycerate alone induced a similar but smaller change. The rate of conformational state fluctuations (interconversion between states) was found to be slow on the nanosecond time scale, as expected for a protein with a relatively large interdomain contact area. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
