Abstract
The influence of the binding of the high-affinity inhibitor, 4-methylbenzenesulfonamide, to the active site of bovine carbonic anhydrase B was studied by 15N- and 13C-NMR spectroscopy. The rotational correlation time dependence on temperature and concentration of the complex was determined by time-resolved fluorescence depolarization measurements. Our experiment provides evidence that the stoichiometry of the interaction of 4-methylbenzenesulfonamide with carbonic anhydrase B is 1:1 and the inhibitor is bound in anionic form. The 15N-NMR relaxation parameters confirm our previous conclusions about the presence of librational motions in the active site of carbonic anhydrase and indicate that the internal motion in the enzyme-inhibitor complex is more restricted than the backbone motion in the uncomplexed native enzyme.
