Crystallization (Commentary)

Crystallization (Comment) Organism
in complex with dimethyltin, diethyltin, and triethyltin, to 1.53-2.0 A resolution Escherichia coli

Inhibitors

Inhibitors Comment Organism Structure
dimethyltin initial binding is to residue D99, and compound subsequently binds to C96, which induces a conformation change in the active site Escherichia coli
trimethyllead compound is not cleaved and binds only to residue D99 Escherichia coli

Organism

additional information MerB cleavage reaction involves heterolytic carbon-metal bond cleavage, Cys thiol deprotonation, protonation of the formal carbanion, and metal binding to the Cys thiolate. The first two steps are endothermic, and the last two would be exothermic Escherichia coli ?
