[ccp4bb] AMP-PNP Hydrolysis

2011-02-14 Thread Soisson, Stephen M
Hi there, Was recently looking at a structure of an enzyme with AMP-PNP added to the crystallization mix, and all I see is density for ADP. I was wondering if hydrolysis of AMP-PNP to ADP is relatively common - either as a result of extended time in crystallization or exposure of the resultant

Hi Steve, With my experience, it is (very) common to see AMPPNP is hydrolyzed to AMPPN (supposedly) with my protein. Although the literature often reported AMPPNP as a stable ATP mimic, such a luck wasn't true with my case, maybe same as you. If you go to Sigma website where I purchased, it may

Hi Steve, Funnily enough I just read the following paper today, which describes exactly this phenomenon: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21093442 Is AMPPCP as sensitive to acid conditions? I would suspect not. Best wishes Derek

Is it possible that the phosphates are just disordered rather than being cleaved? It's always the case for inactive kinase-ATP or AMPPNP complexes that the phosphates are not stabilized by Mg2+ or the residues in the binding pocket and hence they become disordered and are not seen in the electron
