Abstract
The initial step in reactions catalyzed by NAD(P)H-dependent alcohol dehydrogenases (ADHs) is the binding of the cofactor to the active site. To study this process, we measured NAD(P)H concentration-dependent circular dichroism (CD) in the presence of purified enzymes (ADH from horse liver, HLADH; ADH-A from Rhodococcus ruber; YGL157w from Saccharomyces cerevisiae) or enzyme-containing whole cell extract (ADH from Lactobacillus brevis, LbADH). We determined the proportions of binding and non-binding NAD(P)H and the associated dissociation constants (Kd) from matrix least-squares global fitting of law of mass action-derived model. Furthermore, the fitting allowed the back calculation of CD spectra corresponding to the cofactor in its bound conformation. With increasing pH and/or increasing ionic strength, we detected an increase in Kd for the NADH·HLADH complex with the shape of the bound cofactor conformation spectrum remaining unaffected. While the bound cofactor spectrum for the ADH-A·NADH complex was similar to that for HLADH, the corresponding spectra obtained for the NADPH-dependent enzymes YGL157w and LbADH exhibited opposite signs of the most prominent band. In comparison to CD spectra calculated on cofactor geometries from the crystal structures at the sTD-DFT level, we found that the sign of the bound cofactor spectrum correlates with the orientation of the nicotinamide ring of the cofactor in the active site. These results demonstrate the usefulness of the global analysis of cofactor titration CD spectra to study the role of cofactor binding and its geometry in ADH catalysis.

Abstract
As shown by X-ray crystallography, horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase undergoes a global conformational change upon binding of NAD(+) or NADH, involving a rotation of the catalytic domain relative to the coenzyme binding domain and the closing up of the active site to produce a catalytically efficient enzyme. The conformational change requires a complete coenzyme and is affected by various chemical or mutational substitutions that can increase the catalytic turnover by altering the kinetics of the isomerization and rate of dissociation of coenzymes. The binding of NAD(+) is kinetically limited by a unimolecular isomerization (corresponding to the conformational change) that is controlled by deprotonation of the catalytic zinc-water to produce a negatively-charged zinc-hydroxide, which can attract the positively-charged nicotinamide ring. The deprotonation is facilitated by His-51 acting through a hydrogen-bonded network to relay the proton to solvent. Binding of NADH also involves a conformational change, but the rate is very fast. After the enzyme binds NAD(+) and closes up, the substrate displaces the hydroxide bound to the catalytic zinc; this exchange may involve a double displacement reaction where the carboxylate group of a glutamate residue first displaces the hydroxide (inverting the tetrahedral coordination of the zinc), and then the exogenous ligand displaces the glutamate. The resulting enzyme-NAD(+)-alcoholate complex is poised for hydrogen transfer, and small conformational fluctuations may bring the reactants together so that the hydride ion is transferred by quantum mechanical tunneling. In the process, the nicotinamide ring may become puckered, as seen in structures of complexes of the enzyme with NADH. The conformational changes of alcohol dehydrogenase demonstrate the importance of protein dynamics in catalysis.

Abstract
The interaction of coenzyme with thermostable homotetrameric NAD(H)-dependent alcohol dehydrogenase from the thermoacidophilic sulphur-dependent crenarchaeon Sulfolobus solfataricus (SsADH) and its N249Y (Asn-249-->Tyr) mutant was studied using the high fluorescence sensitivity of its tryptophan residues Trp-95 and Trp-117 to the binding of coenzyme moieties. Fluorescence quenching studies performed at 25 degrees C show that SsADH exhibits linearity in the NAD(H) binding [the Hill coefficient (h) approximately 1) at pH 9.8 and at moderate ionic strength, in addition to positive co-operativity (h=2.0-2.4) at pH 7.8 and 6.8, and at pH 9.8 in the presence of salt. Furthermore, NADH binding is positively co-operative below 20 degrees C (h approximately 3) and negatively co-operative at 40-50 degrees C (h approximately 0.7), as determined at moderate ionic strength and pH 9.8. Steady-state kinetic measurements show that SsADH displays standard Michaelis-Menten kinetics between 35 and 45 degrees C, but exhibits positive and negative co-operativity for NADH oxidation below (h=3.3 at 20 degrees C) and above (h=0.7 at 70-80 degrees C) this range of temperatures respectively. However, N249Y SsADH displays non-co-operative behaviour in coenzyme binding under the same experimental conditions used for the wild-type enzyme. In loop 270-275 of the coenzyme domain and segments at the interface of dimer A-B, analyses of the wild-type and mutant SsADH structures identified the structural elements involved in the intersubunit communication and suggested a possible structural basis for co-operativity. This is the first report of co-operativity in a tetrameric ADH and of temperature-induced co-operativity in a thermophilic enzyme.

Abstract
The kinetics of protein-protein interaction and heme reduction between adrenodoxin wild type as well as eight mutants and the cytochromes P450 CYP11A1 and CYP11B1 was studied in detail. Rate constants for the formation of the reduced CYP11A1.CO and CYP11B1.CO complexes by wild type adrenodoxin, the adrenodoxin mutants Adx-(4-108), Adx-(4-114), T54S, T54A, and S112W, and the double mutants Y82F/S112W, Y82L/S112W, and Y82S/S112W (the last four mutants are Delta113-128) are presented. The rate constants observed differ by a factor of up to 10 among the respective adrenodoxin mutants for CYP11A1 but not for CYP11B1. According to their apparent rate constants for CYP11A1, the adrenodoxin mutants can be grouped into a slow (wild type, T54A, and T54S) and a fast group (all the other mutants). The adrenodoxin mutants forming the most stable complexes with CYP11A1 show the fastest rates of reduction and the highest rate constants for cholesterol to pregnenolone conversion. This strong correlation suggests that C-terminal truncation of adrenodoxin in combination with the introduction of a C-terminal tryptophan residue enables a modified protein-protein interaction rendering the system almost as effective as the bacterial putidaredoxin/CYP101 system. Such a variation of the adrenodoxin structure resulted in a mutant protein (S112W) showing a 100-fold increased efficiency in conversion of cholesterol to pregnenolone.

Abstract
Atomic (1 A) resolution x-ray structures of horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase in complex with NADH revealed the formation of an adduct in the active site between a metal-bound water and NADH. Furthermore, a pronounced distortion of the pyridine ring of NADH was observed. A series of quantum chemical calculations on the water-nicotinamide adduct showed that the puckering of the pyridine ring in the crystal structures can only be reproduced when the water is considered a hydroxide ion. These observations provide fundamental insight into the enzymatic activation of NADH for hydride transfer.

Abstract
Transient kinetics of the equine infectious anemia virus deoxyuridine 5'-triphosphate nucleotide hydrolase were characterized by monitoring the fluorescence of the protein. Rate constants for the association and dissociation of substrate and inhibitors were determined and found to be consistent with a one-step mechanism for substrate binding. A C-terminal part of the enzyme presumed to be flexible was removed by limited trypsinolysis. As a result, the activity of the dUTPase was completely quenched, but the rate constants and fluorescent signal of the truncated enzyme were affected only to a minor degree. We conclude that the flexible C-terminus is not a prerequisite for substrate binding, but indispensable for catalysis.

Abstract
Two metal ion binding sites are conserved in metallo-beta-lactamase from Aeromonas hydrophila. The ligands of a first zinc ion bound with picomolar dissociation constant were identified by EXAFS spectroscopy as one Cys, two His and one additional N/O donor. Sulfur-to-metal charge transfer bands are observed for all mono- and di-metal species substituted with Cu(II) or Co(II) due to ligation of the single conserved cysteine residue. Binding of a second metal ion results in non-competitive inhibition which might be explained by an alternative kinetic mechanism. A possible partition of metal ions between the two binding sites is discussed.

Abstract
The NAD(P)H:flavin oxidoreductase from Escherichia coli, named Fre, is a monomer of 26.2 kDa that catalyzes the reduction of free flavins using NADPH or NADH as electron donor. The enzyme does not contain any prosthetic group but accommodates both the reduced pyridine nucleotide and the flavin in a ternary complex prior to oxidoreduction. The specificity of the flavin reductase for the pyridine nucleotide was studied by steady-state kinetics using a variety of NADP analogs. Both the nicotinamide ring and the adenosine part of the substrate molecule have been found to be important for binding to the polypeptide chain. However, in the case of NADPH, the 2'-phosphate group destabilized almost completely the interaction with the adenosine moiety. Moreover, NADPH and NMNH are very good substrates for the flavin reductase, and we have shown that both these molecules bind to the enzyme almost exclusively by the nicotinamide ring. This provides evidence that the flavin reductase exhibits a unique mode for recognition of the reduced pyridine nucleotide. In addition, we have shown that the flavin reductase selectively transfers the pro-R hydrogen from the C-4 position of the nicotinamide ring and is therefore classified as an A-side-specific enzyme.

Abstract
Ferredoxin-NADP+ reductase, the prototype of a large family of structurally related flavoenzymes, pairs single electrons carried by ferredoxin I and transfers them as a hydride to NADP+. Four mutants of the enzyme, in which Glu-312 was replaced with Asp, Gln, Leu, and Ala to probe the role of the residue charge, size, and polarity in the enzyme activity, have been heterologously expressed, purified, and characterized through steady-state, rapid kinetic studies, ligand-binding experiments, and three-dimensional structure determination by x-ray crystallography. The E312L mutant was the only one that was almost inactive (approximately 1%), whereas unexpectedly the E312A reductase was 10-100% active with the various acceptors tested. Rapid kinetic absorption spectroscopy studies demonstrated that flavin reduction by NADPH was impaired in the mutants. Furthermore, NADP(H) binding was partially perturbed. These functional and structural studies lead us to conclude that Glu-312 does not fulfil the role of proton donor during catalysis, but it is required for proper binding of the nicotinamide ring of NADP(H). In addition, its charge modulates the two one-electron redox potentials of the flavin to stabilize the semiquinone form.
