Zhou Z, Fisher D, Spidel J, Greenfield J, Patson B, Fazal A, Wigal C, Moe OA, Madura JD: Kinetic and docking studies of the interaction of quinones with the quinone reductase active site. Biochemistry. 2003 Feb 25;42(7):1985-94.
NAD (P) H/quinone acceptor oxidoreductase type 1 (QR1) protects cells from cytotoxic and neoplastic effects of quinones though two-electron reduction. Kinetic experiments, docking, and binding affinity calculations were performed on a series of structurally varied quinone substrates. A good correlation between calculated and measured binding affinities from kinetic determinations was obtained. The experimental and theoretical studies independently support a model in which quinones (with one to three fused aromatic rings) bind in the QR1 active site utilizing a pi-stacking interaction with the isoalloxazine ring of the FAD cofactor. |
