| Abstract | Glyoxylate carboligase (GCL) catalyzes the ligation of two molecules of glyoxylate to form tartronate semialdehyde (TSA) and carbon dioxide. GCL is unique among ThDP-dependent enzymes because it lacks the canonical glutamate in the active site which is thought to be highly necessary for other ThDP enzymes. In this paper, the catalytic reactions of GCL and its mutant V51E have been explored using a combined QM/MM approach. On the basis of our calculations, the following important points have been obtained: (1) although the glutamate residue is absent in the active site of GCL, the activation of cofactor ThDP is still quite easy with a very low energy barrier of 5.0 kcal/mol; (2) the catalytic cycle can still proceed in the case where no other potential acid–base side chain exists in the active site; (3) for the wild-type GCL, the energy barrier of the most energy-requiring step is 17.9 kcal/mol, which agrees well with the experimental observations; (4) for V51E mutant, the concerted formation of the product TSA and regeneration of the ThDP ylide is calculated to be the rate-limiting step with an energy barrier of 19.5 kcal/mol. It is slightly higher than that of the wild-type GCL (19.5 vs. 17.9 kcal/mol), which can well explain the relatively lower activity of the V51E mutant than the wild-type enzyme. Our results may provide help for further understanding the catalytic mechanism of GCL. |

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.
