摘要

Water-mediated interactions play a key role in carbohydrate-lectin binding, where the interactions involve a conserved water that is separated from the bulk solvent and present a bridge between the side chains of the protein and the carbohydrate ligand. To apply quantum mechanical methods to examine the role of conserved waters, we present an analysis in which the relevant carbohydrate atoms are modeled by methanol, and in which the protein is replaced by a limited number of amino acid side chains. Clusters containing a conserved water and a representative amino acid fragment were also examined to determine the influence of amino acid side chains on interaction energies. To quantify the differential binding energies of methanol versus water, quantum mechanical calculations were performed at the B3LYP/6-311++G(3df, 3pd)//B3LYP/6-31+G(d) level in which either a methanol molecule was bound to the conserved water (liganded state) or in which a water molecule replaces the methanol (unliganded state). Not surprisingly, the binding of a water to clusters containing charged amino acid side chains was more favorable by 1.55 to 7.23 kcal/mol than that for the binding of a water to the corresponding pure water clusters. In contrast, the binding energy of water to clusters containing polar-uncharged amino acid side chains ranged from 4.35 kcal/mol less favorable to 4.72 kcal/mol more favorable than for binding to the analogous pure water clusters. The overall trend for the binding of methanol versus water, in any of the clusters, favored methanol by an average value of 1.05 kcal/mol. To extend these studies to a complex between a protein (Concanavalin A) and its carbohydrate ligand, a cluster was examined that contained the side chains of three key amino acids, namely asparagine, aspartate, and arginine, as well as a key water molecule, arranged as in the X-ray diffraction structure of Con A. Again, using methanol as a model for the endogenous carbohydrate ligand, energies of -5.94 kcal/mol and -5.70 kcal/mol were obtained for the binding of methanol and water, respectively, to the Con A-water cluster. The extent to which cooperativity enhanced the binding energies has been quantified in terms of nonadditive three body contributions. In general, the binding of water of methanol to neutral dimers formed cooperative clusters; in contrast, the cooperativity in charged clusters depended on the overall geometry as well as the charge.
