Crystallization (Commentary)

Crystallization (Comment) Organism
quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical umbrella sampling simulations. The mechanism for hydrolysis of diisopropyl fluorophosphate involves nucleophilic attack by Asp229 on phosphorus to form a pentavalent intermediate. P-F bond dissociation then yields a phosphoacyl enzyme intermediate in the rate-limiting step. A water molecule, coordinated to the catalytic Ca2+, donates a proton to Asp121 and then attacks the tetrahedral phosphoacyl intermediate to liberate the diisopropyl phosphate product. The calculated free energy barrier for hydrolysis of (S)-sarin by the same mechanism is highly unfavorable. Hydrolysis of (S)-sarin proceeds by a mechanism in which Asp229 could activate an intervening water molecule for nucleophilic attack on the substrate Loligo vulgaris
