Probing the dynamical interaction of the para-sulfonato-calix[4]arene with an antifungal protein

Abstract: Calixarenes are hallmark molecules in supramolecular chemistry as guest cages for small ligands. They have also conversely proved their interest as auxiliary ligands toward assisted co-crystallization of proteins. These functionalized macromolecular cages target positively-charges residues, and notably surface-exposed lysines, with a site-selectivity finely characterized experimentally, but that remains to be assessed. Relying on a tailored molecular dynamics simulations protocol, we explore the association of… Show more

“…In the exo one, K91 and K92's -NH + 3 groups form HBs with the oxygens of two phosphonatomethyl groups (∼2.8 Å). This results in an elongated conformation, as reported previously for sclx 4 55, 56 , favoring with the pmclx 4 phenyl rings, in one case, a cation-π interaction with the -NH + 3 terminal, and in the other a CH• • •π interaction with their alkyl side chains (see Figure 2A-3). In parallel, R13 coordinates a third phosphonate group forming two HBs between its two -NH + 2 groups and two oxygens (∼3.1 and ∼3.2 Å), while a cationπ interaction is established with the phenyl ring (see Figure S9).…”

“…Each structure identifies a different system, for which the total production time amounts to 3 µs (see section "Bound-State Simulations" in ESI). The ligand interaction turns out to be very dynamic along our MD replica: it undergoes local rearrangements and binding site changes (see Figure S5), as previously noticed by MDs 55,56 and experiments 31,32 for psulfonato-calix [4]arene. The most representative structures from cluster analysis are shown in Figure S7, while their relative percentages and the binding site in which the ligand is interacting.…”
