Abstract excerpt
Here we describe the total chemical synthesis and biophysical characterization of two backbone-modified, ester bond-containing analogues of the homohexameric enzyme 4-oxalocrotonate tautomerase (4OT). The amide-to-ester bond mutations in the two analogues in this study, (OI2)4OT and (OI7)4OT, were designed to effectively delete specific backbone-backbone hydrogen bonds in the beta-sheet region of the native 4OT...
