Theozyme for antibody aldolases. Characterization of the transition-state analogue
Literature Information
Manuel Arnó, Luis R. Domingo
A theozyme for antibody aldolases has been studied at the MP2/6-31G** computational level. Formation of two cooperative hydrogen-bonds between the acidic hydrogen atoms of the enamine and of a methanol molecule with the oxygen atom of the aldol acceptor markedly favors the C–C bond-formation associated with the aldol reaction. A comparative analysis of the geometry, the charge distribution and the shape of the molecular electrostatic potential of the transition structure (TS) with the covalent adduct, resulting from the reaction of methylamine and the β-diketone used as a hapten allows us to characterize the transition-state analogue (TSA) generated at immunization. This finding allows us to propose a hapten based on a chiral β-ketosulfoxide that could give the formation of a TSA that addresses the tetrahedral geometry of the TS.

Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry

Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry (OBC) publishes original and high impact research and reviews in organic chemistry. We welcome research that shows new or significantly improved protocols or methodologies in total synthesis, synthetic methodology or physical and theoretical organic chemistry as well as research that shows a significant advance in the organic chemistry or molecular design aspects of chemical biology, catalysis, supramolecular and macromolecular chemistry, theoretical chemistry, mechanism-oriented physical organic chemistry, medicinal chemistry or natural products. Articles published in the journal should report new work which makes a highly-significant impact in the field. Routine and incremental work is generally not suitable for publication in the journal. More details about key areas of our scope are below. In all cases authors should include in their article clear rationale for why their research has been carried out.
