| Abstract | Kinetic analysis and molecular modeling have been used to map the ribonucleolytic center of angiogenin (Ang). Pyrimidine nucleotides were found to interact very weakly with Ang, consistent with the inaccessible B1 pyrimidine binding site revealed by x-ray crystallography. Ang also lacks an effective phosphate binding site on the 5' side of B1. Although the B2 site that preferentially binds purines on the 3' side of B1 is also weak, its associated phosphate subsites make substantial contributions: both 3',5'-ADP and 5'-ADP have Ki values 6-fold lower than for 5'-AMP, and adding a 3'-phosphate to the substrate CpA increases Kcat/Km by 9-fold. Thus Ang has a functional P2 site on the 3' side of B2 and a site for a second phosphate on the 5' side of B2. Modeling of an Ang-d(ApTpApA) complex suggested that Arg-5 forms part of the P2 site and that a 2'-phosphate might bind more tightly than a 3'-phosphate. Both predictions were confirmed kinetically. The subsite map obtained by this combined approach indicated that 5'-diphosphoadenosine 2'-phosphate might be a more potent inhibitor than any of the nucleotides tested thus far. Indeed, its Ki value of 150 microM is 50-fold lower than that for the best nucleotide previously reported and 400-fold lower than the Km for the best dinucleotide substrate. This compound may serve as a suitable starting point for the eventual design of tight-binding inhibitors of Ang as antiangiogenic agents for human therapy. |

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.
