3. What are
Deoxyribozyme
s ??
Natural duplex of
DNA is unlikely to
be Catalytic
It obeys
Michaelis-Menten
kinetics.
Existence of DNA
World is debateable,
but seems mostly
unlikely.

• A DNA sequence with catalytic
activity is called Deoxyribozyme.
• They are single SS DNA, identified
by in vitro selection, so are called
synthetic catalyst.

4. Historical
perspective
• They used an in-vitro selection
strategy to isolate RNA cleaving
Deoxyribozyme.
• It Binds to its substrate using
Watson-crick base pairing.
• RNA cleaving Deoxyribozyme
has activity similar to RNAse.
• It requires metal ions (Pb2+,Mg2+ ).

What was the purpose
this research ???
7. What they
did ?
The Experiment
• They carried out crystallographic studies of 8–17 DNAzyme.
• They used these 3 substrate enzyme combinations
• To confirm the functional importance of some conserved
residues of DNAzymes, they performed activity studies using
the native and modified DNAzymes. 7

The Results
• Dz36 paired with the native
DNA substrate (D1 and D2)
in two structures and it paired
with the 2′-OMe-G (D3)
modified DNA in the third

• The D1 complex adopts the same space group as D2
complex (C2221), indicated by the very low rmsd value
(0.307 Å).
• While the D3 structure when compared to D2 show
different space group (P43212). But the central catalytic
regions where found to be identical. (As shown in Fig.)

10. • The Dz36/substrate(All) complexes assemble into a “V”
shape with two arms (P1 and P2) orientated ~70° with
respect to each other.
• P1 and P2 are connected through the catalytic core (15 nt) and
substrate binds to DNAzyme by forming a dinucleotide kink
at the junction (G-1 and G+1).

12. • Conformations of D2 Catalytic core remain same as D1 Even
after Pb2+ is used with D2.
• In D2 structure, Pb2+ ion was captured in the catalytic core.
• Compared with the native Dz36, Methylation at the N1
position (for Dz36-1mG13) caused reduction on the DNA
enzyme’s activity.

• The Pb2+ ion coordinates with the O6 atom of G6, which
forms G6:C12 pair identified structurally and also with a
water molecule interacting with the O5′ atom of G+1.
• Structure factors and coordinates have been deposited in the
Protein Data Bank under accession codes 5XM8, 5XM9,
and 5XMA for the DNAzyme-Pb2+ complex, DNAzyme,
and DNAzyme-(2′-OMe-G) structures respectively.

• 8–17 DNAzyme may follow an In-line attack mechanism.
• Conserved G13 residue may play the key role in the
catalysis, functioning as the base to deprotonate the 2′-OH
of G-1 for attacking the 3′-phosphate of G-1.
• Observations suggest that the N1 atom of G13 plays critical
role in the catalytic process of the DNAzyme.
• 8–17 DNAzyme may catalysis indirectly via Pb2+, as it
activates the coordinated H2O Molecule, which serve as
Acid for Acid-Base Catalysis, by provide a proton for
displacing O5′ atom of G+1.
• Low pKa of hydrated Pb2+ may contribute to the catalytic
efficiency of 8–17 DNAzyme.

The 8–17 DNAzyme adopts a V-shape fold consisting of
two substrate-recognizing arms (P1&P2) and one twisted
DNA pseudoknot having a Central catalytic core(15nt).
Substrate form a GG Kink at Recognition junction.
Catalysis is performed by In-Line Acid-base Reaction.
The Pb2+ is bound at the pre organized pocket and
activates the coordinated H2O Molecule, which serve as
Acid for Acid-Base Catalysis.
