The structure of a derivative of hen egg-white lysozyme (EC 3.2.1.17) modified byN-bromosuccinimide at Trp62 has been studied by both1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. It was shown that this modification, changing the tryptophan residue to an oxindolealanine†residue, only causes minor structural changes at the site of the modification, and that the overall structure of the native enzyme is maintained in the derivative. Both diastereomers of the oxindolealanine-62 lysozyme were observed by the two methods employed, in accordance with previous observations (Norton & Allerhand, 1976). The pKvalues of the catalytically important carboxyl groups of Glu35 and Asp52 were identical in the native enzyme and its derivative. However, the modified enzyme is virtually inactive in the hydrolysis of the cell-wall mucopolysaccharide ofMicrococcus lysodeikticus. The binding ofN-acetylglucosamine oligosaccharides to both native lysozyme and Ox-62 lysozyme was studied by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, observing the perturbations on the lysozyme1H n.m.r. resonances, and differences in the perturbations of the two systems demonstrated that binding of (GlcNAc)3in particular was not identical in the two systems. The structure of Ox-62 lysozyme-(GlcNAc)3was studied by X-ray crystallography and it was shown that only two GlcNAc residues make contact with the enzyme, binding the reducing end residue in a similar mode as the α-anomeric form of GlcNAc binds to the native enzyme (Blakeet al., 1967a). On the basis of the results obtained by X-ray crystallography and1H n.m.r. spectroscopy, the lack of enzymatic activity of the Ox-62 lysozyme arises from the obstruction by the oxindolealanine residue of sub-site B of the active site, preventing productive binding of the substrate.
