摘要

The thermodynamic parameters underlying the binding of six volatile general anesthetics to the hydrophobic core of the four-alpha-helix bundle (Aalpha(2)-L38M)(2) are determined using isothermal titration calorimetry. Chloroform, bromoform, trichloroethylene, benzene, desflurane and fluroxene are shown to bind to the four-alpha-helix bundle with dissociation constants of 880+/-10, 90+/-5, 200+/-10, 900+/-30, 220+/-10 and 790+/-40 microM, respectively. The measured dissociation constants for the binding of the six general anesthetics to the four-alpha-helix bundle (Aalpha(2)-L38M)(2) correlate with their human or animal EC(50) values. The negative enthalpy changes indicate that favorable polar interactions are achieved between bound anesthetic and the adjacent amino acid side chains. Because of its small size and the ability to bind a variety of general anesthetics, the four-alpha-helix bundle (Aalpha(2)-L38M)(2) represents an attractive system for structural studies on anesthetic-protein complexes.
