SERS观察在Pd OECC薄膜中β-胡萝卜素的基频和高阶拉曼模

利用有极高检测灵敏度的表面增强拉曼散射(SERS)技术,对吸附在银镜表面上的浓度较低的纯化的放氧核心复合物(Pd OECC)薄层进行了频移在250～3 100 cm-1范围内的拉曼光谱测量,除得到β-胡萝卜素分子的基频拉曼振动模外,在高频端还得到了许多弱峰.根据泛音和组合谱带选择定则分析,这些振动模式来自β-胡萝卜素分子的高阶拉曼光谱.还进行了Pd OECC在强光破坏前后的SERS光谱研究.在强光照射下,β-胡萝卜素分子的SERS光谱的散射强度明显降低,且线宽增加,说明强光照射不但改变了β-胡萝卜素的构象,而且也改变了β-胡萝卜素分子所处的微环境.其结果与强光照射前后吸收光谱的变化一致.另外,没有观察到Pd OECC薄层与银镜相互作用的其他新振动峰或Pd OECC中其他振动峰峰型的变化,可见Pd OECC在银镜表面保持原来的状态.这证明SERS技术在光合作用光破坏机理研究中的可行性.

Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy of biopolymers: membrane proteins, bacteriorhodopsin and rhodopsin adsorbed on silver electrodes and silver hydrosols

Surface-enhanced Raman (SER) spectra of purple membranes of Halobacterium halobium and photoreceptor disks of the rod outer segments adsorbed on silver hydrosols were analysed. It has been shown that the intensity of SER spectra of bacterial and visual rhodopsins increases 5 X 10(4) times at adsorption. Concentration relationship of the signal intensity of SER spectra has the maximum at bacteriorhodopsin concentration about 2 X 10(-7) M. It has been shown that adsorption on silver hydrosol leads to fixation of light-induced photochemical transformations in bacterial and visual rhodopsins. Adsorption on the "smooth" electrodes at the potential of the zero charge of silver does not affect the photocycle of bacteriorhodopsin. An increase or decrease of the electrode potential relative to the zero charge point of silver leads to the accumulation of kinetic intermediate K610 and a decrease of the concentration of the form BRh570. It has been shown that on the "smooth" electrode primarily the long-range component of the SER mechanism is realized. Bands corresponding to the vibrations of the atom groups directly contacting with the metal are mainly intensified after redox cycle which increases the concentration of chemosorption centres. A conclusion is drawn that the method of SER spectroscopy of biomolecules adsorbed on "smooth" electrodes, permits obtaining information similar to that obtained from the analysis of Raman spectra of unadsorbed molecules, but at concentrations by two orders less. Adsorption on the electrodes treated with the help of redox cycle permits to obtain highly oriented preparations and to study topography of biopolymers in water solutions and suspensions.     

Surface interactions of a homologous series of alpha,omega-amino acids on colloidal silver and gold

Surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) was used to characterize a homologous series of alpha,omega-amino acids on colloidal gold and silver. Raman and SER spectra of the alpha,omega-amino acids, NH2(CH2)nCOOH (n = 3-7), are presented and analyzed, revealing the probable conformations of the molecules on the metal surfaces. The alpha,omega-amino acids interact with silver and gold through both the amine and carboxylate end groups, and modify the conformation of the molecular backbone in order to maximize these interactions. An odd-even effect is observed for backbone conformations of molecules adsorbed to the silver substrate. The anomolous SER spectrum of 5-aminopentanoic acid on gold suggests the possibility of condensation polymerization at the gold surface.     

15N-nmr spectroscopy. 33. Assignments of isotactic and syndiotactic sequences in poly(D,L-amino acids)

¹⁵N-enriched (D ,L -Leu)_n, (γ-OMe-D ,L -Glu)_n, (D ,L -Val)_n, and (D ,L -Phe)_n were prepared, 40.55-MHz ¹⁵N-nmr spectra were measured in various solvents. The signal patterns depend strongly on the nature of the solvent, yet in most cases at least four signals are resolved, representing the four enantiomeric pairs of triads L -L -L (D -D -D ), L -D -L (D -L -D ), L -L -D (D -D -L ), and D -L -L (L -D -D ). Numerous copolypeptides of the general structure (A)_n-B*-(A)_m (the asterisk denotes 40–50% ¹⁵N enrichment) were synthesized and measured as models for syndiotactic sequences in the spectra of poly(D ,L -amino acids). In this way unambiguous assignments for both isotactic and syndiotactic trials were obtained. A spectroscopic rule was established: “isotactic sequences absorb downfield of syndiotactic ones.” Furthermore, the spectra of various types of stereocopolypeptides such as (L -Leu/L -Val)_n and (L -Leu/D -Val)_n were investigated, including the ternary systems (L -Leu/L -Ala/D -Ala)_n (L -Leu/L -Ala/Gly)_n, (L -Leu/D -Ala/Gly)_n, (L -Val/L -Ala/Gly)_n, and (L -Val/D -Ala/Gly)_n. All copolymerization of D - and L -amino acid NCAs investigated in this work showed a low degree of stereoselectivity.     

Raman study of crystalline peptides containing beta turns

The Raman spectra of crystalline H-ProLeuGlyNH₂ which has a type II β turn, crystalline S-benzylCysProLeuGlyNH₂ which has a type I β-turn, and crystalline gramicidin S which has two β turns and β-sheet structure in its conformation, were investigated. The amide I and amide III bands of the peptides with β turns were generally different from those which are diagnostic for α-helix and β-sheet conformations. The patterns of the amide I and amide III bands, when examined together, indicate that Raman spectra can provide diagnostic evidence for β-turn structure in peptides.     

Raman spectroscopy of model membrane monolayers of dipalmitoylphosphatidic acid at the air-water interface using surface enhancement from buoyant thin silver films

A novel method for the acquisition of surface enhanced Raman (SER) spectra of model membranes of dipalmitoylphosphatidic acid (DPPA) in Langmuir layers at the air-water interface is reported. The approach is based on the electrochemical formation of a buoyant thin layer of coalesced silver colloids in the vicinity of the phosphatidic acid head groups at the interface. This Ag layer is an excellent platform for SER scattering, which shows the spectral features from all parts of the molecule and water between the Ag surface and the DPPA layer. The observation of the spectral response from the phosphatidic acid head groups is of particular significance, allowing insight into their chemical state and orientation at the air-water interface.     

Structural changes in bovine oocytes during final maturation in vivo

On the basis of structural observations bovine oocytes were grouped into four successive classed: 0, those before the luteinizing hormone (LH) surge; 1, those up to 8 h following the LH peak level; 2, those between 8 and 19 h after the LH peak level; and 3, those between 19 h after the LH peak level and ovulation. Oocytes in class 0 had mitochondria located in a generally peripheral position. Interior to the mitochondria were elements of rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) and numerous membrane-bound vesicles which bore ribosome-like particles on their outer surface. The first visible changesater the LH peak level as seen in class 1 were the formation of the periviteline space with loss of contact between the cumulus cells and the oocyte, and ruffing of the nuclear envelope. These changes were followed b the resumption of meiosis as defined by germinal-vesicle breakdown (GVBD), the disappearance of RER, and the formation fo clusters of mitochondria in association with lipid droplets and elementrs of smooth endolasmic reticulum (SER). The period between 8 and 19 h following LH peak level (class 2) was characterized by intensive clustering of mitochoncria in association with lipid droplets and elements of SER, conversion of lipid, fusion of vesicles, and the appearance of ribosomes in the cytoplasm. During the final stage (class 3), the polar body was extruded, the mitochondria dispersed, and the majority of the organelles became located toward the center of the cell. The relatively organelle-free cortical region contained cortical granules immediately adjacent to the plasma membrane together with aggregates of tubular SER. The structural changes are discussed in the context of follicular steroidogenesis and oocyte developmental competence.     

D-Ala5 analog of the elastin polypentapeptide. Physical characterization

The D-Ala5 analog, (L-Val1-L X Pro2-Gly3-L X Val4-D-Ala5) of the polypentapeptide (PPP) of elastin is synthesized and characterized by a series of physical methods. Carbon-13 and proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopies are used to verify purity and, by means of solvent dependence of peptide C-O chemical shift and of temperature dependence of peptide NH chemical shift, to establish by comparison with the PPP of elastin the presence and increased stability of the Type II Pro2-Gly3 beta-turn. The temperature dependence of aggregation in water to form a viscoelastic phase called the coacervate is reported for several concentrations. Comparison of carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance spectra obtained under identical conditions for the coacervate states of the PPP of elastin and the D-Ala5 analog shows the effect of replacing the Gly5 residue by a D-Ala5 residue to be one of greatly restricting mobility of the polypeptide chain. Scanning electron micrographs, of the coacervate alone and of the coacervate cross-linked and compounded to a Dacron fabric before and after stress-strain studies, are reported which show the D-Ala5 PPP matrix to rupture during the stresses of drying and of stretching while wet. Thus, the effect of adding a methyl moiety to the Gly5 residue of the PPP of elastin is to decrease markedly the mobility of the polypeptide chain and to destroy elasticity. The results are presented as a test of the proposed librational entropy mechanism of elasticity of the PPP of elastin.

Structural heterogeneity of wheat arabinoxylans revealed by Raman spectroscopy

A set of arabinoxylan samples differing in their arabinose composition and various samples of arabino-xylo-oligosaccharide samples were analysed by Raman spectroscopy. Specific signatures for arabinose substitution were found in several spectral regions, that is, 400-600, 800-950 and 1030-1100 cm(-1). A linear relationship was observed between the peak ratio 855/895 cm(-1) of the second derivative spectra and the A/X ratio determined by chemical analysis. Moreover, spectral changes were observed in the 400-600 cm(-1) region assigned to the coupled vibrations mode in the skeleton: while the intensity of the band at 570 cm(-1) increased with the degree of substitution, that at 494 cm(-1) decreased. Similarly, a linear relationship was observed between the peak intensity ratio 570/494 cm(-1) calculated on the second derivative spectra and the composition data. Analysis of Raman spectra of arabino-xylo-oligosaccharides allowed to identify specific spectral features of disubstitution.
