The hydrogen bond network influence on the carbonic anhydrase II (CAII) zinc binding site has been studied theoretically by using the semiempirical AM1 method. To this aim, quantum mechanical reduced models of wild-type CAII and several CAII variants have been constructed. We have shown that, when a direct metal ligand donates a hydrogen bond to an indirect metal ligand, the first-shell residues enhance their electrostatic interaction with the zinc cation. Thus, the hydrogen-bond network is able to modulate the zinc binding affinity and the zinc-water pKa.Key words: hydrogen bond network, carbonic anhydrase II, Zn2+ metalloenzyme ligands.

Crystalline nickel complexes with dianionic glucopyranoside ligands have been obtained by the reaction of methyl-D-glucopyranoside (Me-β -D-Glcp) or sucrose (Suc) with the cellulose solvent Ni-tren, an aqueous solution of [(tren)Ni(OH)2], tren = tri(2-aminoethyl)amine. Crystals of a nickel complex of α,α-trehalose (α,α-Tre) form after the reaction of the disaccharide with Ni-Me3 tren, the N,N′,N″-trimethyl analogue of Ni-tren. The metal-binding site is the O3,O4 diolate in [(tren)Ni(Me-β-D-Glcp3,4H−2)] · 5.5H2O; in [(tren)Ni(Suc2’,3’H−2)] · 6H2O, hydrogen-bond-supported O2,O3 chelation in the glucose part of the disaccharide is observed. The same metal-binding site as sucrose is exhibited by α,α-trehalose in [(tren)Ni(α,α-Tre2,3H−2)] ・ 5H2O but without the support by an intramolecular hydrogen bond.
