EBINTU BYONNNA N’AMAWULIRE GW’EBINTU EBIweereddwa KU MUTINDO GUNO BIKOZESEBWA KU KUSASANYA AMAWULIRE N’EBIKOLWA BY’OKUSOMESA.
Ebintu ebiweereddwa ku mukutu guno bigendereddwamu kunoonyereza mu kisenge (in vitro research) byokka. Okunoonyereza mu vitro (Olulattini: *mu ndabirwamu*, ekitegeeza mu bikozesebwa mu ndabirwamu) kukolebwa ebweru w’omubiri gw’omuntu. Ebintu bino si bya ddagala, tebikkiriziddwa kitongole kya Amerika ekivunaanyizibwa ku by’emmere n’eddagala (FDA), era tebirina kukozesebwa kuziyiza, kujjanjaba oba kuwonya mbeera yonna ya bujjanjabi, bulwadde oba bulwadde. Kikugirwa nnyo mu mateeka okuyingiza ebintu bino mu mubiri gw’omuntu oba ebisolo mu ngeri yonna.
Kiki Ekiyitibwa Peptide Bond
Ekiyungo kya peptide kye kiyungo kya covalent eky’engeri mu molekyo za puloteyina, ekikolebwa okuyita mu nkola y’okufuukuuka kw’amazzi wakati w’ekibinja kya α-carboxyl (α-COOH) ekya amino asidi emu n’ekibinja kya α-amino (-NH2) ekya amino asidi eriraanyewo. Obutonde bwayo obw’eddagala (chemical nature) buba bwa amide bond. Okuyungibwa kuno kwe kusalawo ensengekera y’omugongo omukulu ogw’olujegere lwa polypeptide: amino-terminal (N-terminal) ne carboxyl-terminal (C-terminal) ziyungibwa okuyita mu peptide bonds eziddiŋŋana okukola ensengekera ya linear. Olw’okutondebwawo kw’enkola y’okuyungibwa kwa p-π wakati wa kaboni ya kaboni (C=O) ne imino nayitrojeni (-NH-) mu kiyungo kya peptide, ekiyungo kya CN kyoleka engeri z’enkolagana ey’emirundi ebiri ekitundu, ekiwa ennyonyi y’ekiyungo kya peptide ebifaananyi ebikalu ebya coplanar. Kino kiwa ebiziyiza ebikulu eby’ensengekera ku kuzinga ensengekera za puloteyina ez’omutendera ogw’oku ntikko.
Enkola y’okusengejja ebiramu mu Peptide Bond
Okusengejja peptide bond kubaawo mu ribosomes, nga kwesigama ku transfer RNA (tRNA) okutambuza amino acids. Okuyita mu kugatta anticodons ku tRNA ne codons ku messenger RNA (mRNA), amino acids ziteekebwa mu kifo kya P ne A site ya ribosome. Ekibinja kya amino asidi mu kifo kya A kiyita mu kusengejja kw’amazzi n’ekibinja kya kabokisi ekya amino asidi mu kifo kya P, ne kikola ekiyungo kya amidi (-CO-NH-) ne kifulumya molekyu y’amazzi. Ribosome etambula ku mRNA, ekireetera olujegere lwa peptide okugaziwa okuva ku N-terminal okutuuka ku C-terminal. Enkola eno ekolebwa GTP, ng’ensengekera y’okuyungibwa kwa amino asidi efugibwa bulungi kodoni okutuuka ku kukuŋŋaana okw’obulagirizi okw’olujegere lwa polipepitidi.
Ebifaananyi by’enzimba y’ekifo n’eby’obutonde (physicochemical properties) ebya Peptide Bonds
Ensengekera ya planar conjugated eya peptide bond esalawo ensengekera yaayo ey’enjawulo ey’ekifo: carbonyl oxygen ne amino hydrogen biri mu trans configuration, nga zikola bond angle nga 120°, ekikola rigid planar unit (dihedral angle ω eri kumpi ne 180°). Ekifaananyi kino eky’ensengekera kikugira diguli z’eddembe ly’enkoona za dihedral (φ ne ψ) eza α-kaboni eziriraanye, ekitumbula okutondebwa kw’ebitundu by’ensengekera eby’okubiri ebya bulijjo mu lujegere lwa polipepitayidi (nga α-helices, β-sheets, oba β-turns). Mu ngeri y’eby’obutonde n’eby’obutonde, ekibinja kya amidi eky’ekiyungo kya peptide kisobola okukola nga byombi omugabi w’ekiyungo kya haidrojeni (amino haidrojeni) n’omukkiriza (kaboni okisigyeni), nga kyetaba mu kuzimba emikutu gy’ekiyungo kya haidrojeni munda mu puloteyini ne wakati wa molekyo. Enkola yaayo ey’okuyungibwa eraga okunyiga okw’engeri y’ekitangaala kya ultraviolet ku buwanvu bw’amayengo 210–230 nm, ekisobozesa okugera obungi bw’obungi bwa puloteyina nga tuyita mu ultraviolet spectrophotometry. Okugatta ku ekyo, okutebenkera kw’eddagala ly’ekiyungo kya peptide kizibuwalira okuyita mu kusengejja amazzi mu ngeri ey’okwekolako mu biwujjo by’amazzi ebitaliimu, naye kiyinza okwawulwamu mu ngeri ey’enjawulo wansi w’okutabula kwa proteases, nga kikola ng’ekigendererwa ekikulu eky’okuvunda kwa puloteyina mu butoffaali.
Emirimu gy’ebiramu n’okukozesa tekinologiya wa Peptide Bonds
Mu mirimu gy’obulamu, bbalansi ey’amaanyi eya peptide bonds ekuuma proteome homeostasis: ku ludda olumu, okutebenkera kw’enkolagana zaabwe eza covalent kukakasa obulungi bw’emirimu gya macromolecules ez’ebiramu nga enzymes ne structural proteins; ku luuyi olulala, enkolagana za peptide ezenjawulo zimanyibwa era ne zifuuka amazzi nga zikolebwa proteases (nga proteasome mu nkola ya ubiquitin-proteasome ne enzymes za lysosomal), ekisobozesa okugogola obutoffaali obutali bwa bulijjo n’okulungamya okw’ekiseera kwa molekyo eziraga obubonero. Mu kisaawe kya tekinologiya w’ebiramu, eby’obutonde eby’enkolagana ya peptide bikozesebwa nnyo mu kusengejja polipepitayidi: mu kusengejja okw’omutendera omugumu, enkola z’ebibinja eby’obukuumi zikozesebwa okulonda okukola ebibinja bya kabokisi ebya amino asidi okusobola okukola enkolagana ya peptide ey’obulagirizi. Enkola z’okulonda obutoffaali zikozesa phenyl isothiocyanate okukolagana ne amino asidi eya N-terminal ne zisalasala ekiyungo kya peptide ekisooka, ne kisobozesa okwekenneenya omutendera ogw’omuddiring’anwa. Ekirala, ebiziyiza protease ebyakolebwa nga byesigamiziddwa ku analogs za peptide bond biziyiza ebifo ebikola ebya enzymes nga bikoppa conformation ya natural peptide bonds, ne bifuuka enkola enkulu mu kukola eddagala. Okunoonyereza okw’obwegendereza ku nkolagana y’ensengekera n’emirimu gya peptide bonds kukyagenda mu maaso n’okuvuga obuyiiya bwa tekinologiya mu yinginiya wa puloteyina, okukola eddagala lya polypeptide, n’ebiramu eby’obutonde.
