Regulation of kinases by synthetic imidazoles, nucleotides and their deuterated analoguesNkosi, Thokozani Clement 19 April 2016 (has links)
Deuteration is the replacement of a hydrogen atom by deuterium atom in a molecule. The replacement begins at the most acidic hydrogen in the molecule. In ATP, the deshielded hydrogen is C8-H which is the first replaced during deuteration. During ATP deuteration some of the ATP is hydrolysed to ADP concurrently. Using kinetic analysis, it was confirmed that the ATP hydrolysis that occurs is 1st order in ATP concentration, while the hydrogen replacement is 2nd order. The ATP and its C8 deuterated analogue were tested against three enzymes shikimate kinase (SK), acetate kinase (AK) and glutamine synthetase (GS) to determine if a kinetic isotope effect (KIE) exists in these systems. With AK and GS, the KIED increased as the KIEH decreased, while with SK the KIED decreased as the KIEH increased as the concentration of the ATP or deuterated analogue increased. Deuteration of imidazole and purine compounds reduced the specific activity of AK or SK at low concentrations in an enzyme-catalysed reaction. From a library of imidazole-containing compounds that inhibited SK, three compounds were selected and their IC50 values were determined on the SK-catalysed reaction. These compounds show a differential potency and efficiency between their protonated and deuterated analogues when compared in a 1:1 mixture. Synthesized purines incorporating three different substituents at N-9 were tested against AK or SK for their ability to lower the specific activity of the enzymes used / Physics / M. Sc. (Physics)
