Contacts of ligand MTA4001A in PDB entry 2IPX

Ligand-Protein Contacts (LPC) are derived with the LPC software (Sobolev V., Sorokine A., Prilusky J., Abola E.E. and Edelman M. (1999) Automated analysis of interatomic contacts in proteins. Bioinformatics, 15, 327-332). A short description of the analytical approach is given at the end of the page.


(In PDB entry 2IPX some ATOMs are from nucleic acids or have "unusual" 3-letter residue code. The analysis does not take into account these atoms.)

Residues in contact with ligand MTA4001A in PDB entry 2IPX
(back to top of page)
Legend:
Dist - nearest distance (Å) between atoms of the ligand and the residue
Surf - contact surface area (Å2) between the ligand and the residue
HB   - hydrophilic-hydrophilic contact (hydrogen bond)
Arom - aromatic-aromatic contact
Phob - hydrophobic-hydrophobic contact
DC   - hydrophobic-hydrophilic contact (destabilizing contact)
+/-  - indicates presence/absence of a specific contacts
*    - indicates residues contacting ligand by their side chain
       (including CA atoms)

A short description of the analytical approach (back to top of page)

The analysis of ligand-protein contacts used in this page is based upon the surface complementarity approach developed in: Sobolev V., Wade R.C., Vriend G. and Edelman M. PROTEINS (1996) 25, 120-129.
The complementarity function therein is defined as:

CF=Sl-Si-E

Where Sl is the sum of all surface areas of legitimate atomic contacts between ligand and receptor, Si is the sum of all surface areas of illegitimate atomic contacts, and E is a repulsion term.

Legitimacy depends on the hydrophobic-hydrophilic properties of the contacting atoms. In order to define it, for each inter-atomic contact, eight atom classes have been introduced:

   I  Hydrophilic      - N and O that can donate and accept hydrogen bonds
                         (e.g., oxygen of hydroxyl group of Ser. or Thr)
  II  Acceptor         - N or O that can only accept a hydrogen bond
 III  Donor            - N that can only donate a hydrogen bond
  IV  Hydrophobic      - Cl, Br, I and all C atoms that are not in
                         aromatic rings and do not have a covalent bond to
                         a N or O atom
   V  Aromatic         - C in aromatic rings irrespective of any other 
                         bonds formed by the atom
  VI  Neutral          - C atoms that have a covalent bond to at least one
                         atom of class I or two or more atoms from class II
                         or III; atoms; S, F, P, and metal atoms in all cases
 VII  Neutral-donor    - C atoms that have a covalent bond with only one
                         atom of class III
VIII  Neutral-acceptor - C atoms that have a covalent bond with only 
                         one atom of class II
For each pair of contacts the state of legitimacy is shown below:

Legend:
+, legitimate
-, illegitimate
------------------------------------------------------------
  Atomic class           I  II  III   IV   V   VI  VII  VIII
------------------------------------------------------------
   I  (Hydrophilic)      +   +    +    -   +   +    +    +
  II  (Acceptor)         +   -    +    -   +   +    +    -
 III  (Donor)            +   +    -    -   +   +    -    +
  IV  (Hydrophobic)      -   -    -    +   +   +    +    +
   V  (Aromatic)         +   +    +    +   +   +    +    +
  VI  (Neutral)          +   +    +    +   +   +    +    +
 VII  (Neutral-donor)    +   +    -    +   +   +    -    +
VIII  (Neutral-acceptor) +   -    +    +   +   +    +    -
------------------------------------------------------------
WARNING !!
Atom classes for ligands are automatically assigned based on the atomic coordinates. However, in three cases the automatic assignment is currently ambiguous (due to low resolution). In these three cases, the user is advised to manually analyze the full list of contacts (Table IV).
1. Carbon atoms belonging to a 4-, 5- or 6-member ring are 
   considered "aromatic" (Class V) if the ring is approximately
   planar, and "hydrophobic" (Class IV) or "neutral" (Classes
   VI, VII, VIII) if the ring is non-planar.
2. The oxygen atom of a carbonyl or hydroxy group is considered
   "hydroxy" (Class I) if the CO bond is longer than 1.29 Å, and
   "carbonyl" (Class II) if shorter.
3. All nitrogen atoms are considered "hydrophilic" (Class I).

IN YOUR STRUCTURE, the following atoms fall in these ambiguous cases:
Ligand MTA 4001
1. Carbon (in rings)
                     4 C4'   10 C1'    6 C2'    8 C3'   12 C8    14 C5 
                    20 C4    14 C5    15 C6    18 C2    20 C4 
2. Oxygen ("hydroxy" or "carbonyl")
                     7 O2'    9 O3'
3. Nitrogen ("hydrophilic")
                    11 N9    13 N7    16 N6    17 N1    19 N3
