Abstract
A model for the structure of dimethylamine dehydrogenase was generated using the crystal coordinates of trimethylamine dehydrogenase. Substrate is bound in trimethylamine dehydrogenase by cation-pi bonding, but modeling of dimethylamine dehydrogenase suggests that secondary amines are bound by a mixture of cation-pi and conventional hydrogen bonding. In dimethylamine dehydrogenase, binding is orientationally more specific and distinct from those proteins that bind tertiary and quaternary amine groups.
