Kinetic results are presented for the reaction of reduced [2Fe-2S] ferredoxin from the blue-green alga Spirulina platensis with Co(NH3)6(3+), Co(edta)- and Co(acac)3 as oxidants at pH 8.0 at I0.10 (NaCl). The aim is to compare results obtained with those previously reported for the [2Fe-2S] ferredoxin from parsley, where the two ferredoxins under consideration are in evolutionary terms widely divergent (35% amino acid variations). The three oxidants chosen have different ligand sets and different charges, and are the complexes that in previous studies have given greatest diversity in behaviour. With Co(NH3)6(3+) first-order rate constants (oxidant in large excess) tend to a limiting value with increasing concentration of oxidant. With Co(edta)- and Co(acac)3 there is no similar tendency to limiting behaviour and a first-order dependence on oxidant is observed. The temperature-dependence of the Co(NH3)6(3+) reaction was investigated, and values were obtained for delta H0 [19.8kJ X mol-1 (4.7kcal X mol-1)] and delta S0 [129.3J X K-1 X mol-1 (30.9 cal X K-1 X mol-1)] for the association step that occurs before electron transfer. Whereas redox-inactive Cr(NH3)6(3+) displays competitive inhibition in the reaction of Co(NH3)6(3+), it accelerates the reaction of Co(edta)-, and only partially blocks the reaction with Co(acac)3. Results obtained are similar to those previously reported for parsley (and spinach) ferredoxin. It is concluded that electrostatics play a dominant role and that a negatively charged functional site on the protein common to all three ferredoxins is influential. Conserved negative patches at positions 67-69 and 94-96 within 1.0 nm (10A) of an Fe atom of the active site, as well as the exposed S atoms of cysteine residues 41 and 46, which are a part of the Fe2S*2(SR)4(3-) cluster, are the most likely possibilities. The various effects of Cr(NH3)6(3+) provide a means of testing for utilization of the same site in reactions of the ferredoxins with physiological partners. 相似文献

Excitation spectroscopy of the 7F0----5D0 transition of Eu3+ and diffusion-enhanced energy transfer are used to study metal-binding characteristics of the calcium-binding protein parvalbumin from codfish. Energy is transferred from Eu3+ ions occupying the CD- and EF-binding sites to the freely-diffusing Co(III) coordination complex energy acceptors: [Co(NH3)6]3+, [Co(NH3)5H2O]3+, [CoF(NH3)5]2+, [CoCl(NH3)5]2+, [Co(NO2)3(NH3)3], and [Co(ox)3]3-. In the absence of these inorganic energy acceptors, the excited-state lifetimes of Eu3+ bound to the CD and EF sites are indistinguishable, even in D2O; however, in the presence of the positively charged energy acceptor complexes, the Eu3+ probes in the cod parvalbumin have different excited-state lifetimes due to a greater energy-transfer site from Eu3+ in the CD site than from this ion in the EF site. The observation of distinct lifetimes for Eu3+ in the two sites allows the study of the relative binding site affinities and selectivity, using other members of the lanthanide ion series. Our results indicate that during the course of a titration of the metal-free protein, Eu3+ fills the two sites simultaneously. Eu3+ is competitively displaced by other Ln3+ ions, with the CD site showing a preference for the larger Ln3+ ions while the EF site shows little, if any, competitive selectivity across the Ln3+ ion series. 相似文献

The interaction of three types of chromium(III) complexes, [Cr(salen) (H2O2]+, [Cr(en)3]3+, and [Cr(EDTA) (H2O)]- with AGP has been investigated. [Cr(salen) (H2O2]+, [Cr(en)3]3+ and [Cr(EDTA) (H2O]- bind to Human alpha1-acid glycoprotein with a protein:metal ratio of 1:8, 1:6, and 1:4, respectively. The binding constant, K(b) was estimated to be 1.37 +/- 0.12 x 10(5) M(-1), 1.089 +/- 0.05 x 10(5) M(-1) and 5.3 +/- 0.05 x 10(4) M(-1) for [Cr(salen) (H2O2]+, [Cr(en)3]3+, and [Cr(EDTA) (H2O)]-, respectively. [Cr(en)3]3+ has been found to induce structural transition of AGP from the native twisted beta sheet to a more compact alpha-helix. The complexes, [Cr(salen) (H2O2]+ and [Cr(EDTA) (H2O]-, in the presence of H2O2, have been found to bring about nonspecific cleavage of AGP, whereas [Cr(en)3]3+ does not bring about any protein damage. Treatment of [Cr(salen) (H2O)2]+-protein adduct with iodosyl benzene on the other hand led to site specific cleavage of the protein. These results clearly demonstrate that protein damage brought about by chromium(III) complexes depends on the nature of the coordinated ligand, nature of the metal complex, and the nature of the oxidant. 相似文献

The 1H NMR relaxation effects produced by paramagnetic Cr(III) complexes on nucleoside 5'-mono- and -triphosphates in D2O solution at pH' = 3 were measured. The paramagnetic probes were [Cr(III)(H2O)6]3+, [Cr(III)(H2O)3(HATP)], [Cr(III)(H2O)3(HCTP)] and [Cr(III)(H2O)3(UTP)-, while the matrix nucleotides (0.1 M) were H2AMP, HIMP-, and H2ATP2-. For the aromatic base protons, the ratios of the transverse to longitudinal paramagnetic relaxation rates (R2p/R1p) for the [Cr(III)(H2O)6]3+/H2ATP2-, [Cr(III)(H2O)3(HATP)]/H2ATP2-, [Cr(III)(H2O)3(HCTP)]/H2ATP2 and [Cr(III)(H2O)3(UTP)]-/H2ATP2 systems were below 2.33 so the dipolar term predominates. For a given nucleotide, R1p for the purine H(8) signal was larger than for the H(2) signal with the [Cr(III)(H2O)6]3+ probe, while R1p for the H(2) signal was larger with all the other Cr(III) probes. Molecular mechanics computations on the [Cr(III)(H2O)4(HPP)(alpha,beta)], [Cr(III)(NH3)4(HPP)(alpha,beta)], [Co(III)(NH3)3(H2PPP)(alpha,beta,gamma)] and [Co(III)(NH3)4(HPP)(alpha,beta)] complexes gave calculated energy-minimized geometries in good agreement with those reported in crystal structures. The molecular mechanics force constants found were then used to calculate the geometry of the inner sphere [Cr(III)(H2O)6]3+ and [Cr(III)(H2O)3(HATP)(alpha,beta,gamma)] complexes as well as the structures of the outer sphere [Cr(III)(H2O)6]3(+)-(H2AMP) and [Cr(III)(H2O)6]-(HIMP)- species. The gas-phase structure of the [Cr(III)(H2O)3(HATP)(alpha,beta,gamma)] complex shows the existence of a hydrogen bond interaction between a water ligand and the adenine N(7)(O...N = 2.82 A). The structure is also stabilized by intramolecular hydrogen bonds involving the -O(2')H group and the adenine N(3) (O...N = 2.80 A) as well as phosphate oxygen atoms and a water molecule (O...O = 2.47 A). The metal center has an almost regular octahedral coordination geometry. The structures of the two outer-sphere species reveal that the phosphate group interacts strongly with the hexa-aquochromium probe. In both complexes, the nucleotides have a similar "anti" conformation around the N(9)-C(1') glycosidic bond. However, a very important difference characterizes the two structures. For the (HIMP)- complex, strong hydrogen bond interactions exist between one and two water ligands and the inosine N(7) and O(6) atoms, respectively (O...O = 2.63 A; O...N = 2.72, 2.70 A). For the H2AMP complex, the [Cr(III)(H2O)6]3+ cation does not interact with N(7) since it is far from the purine system. Hydrogen bonds occur between water ligands and phosphate oxygens. The Cr-H(8) and Cr-H(2) distances revealed by the energy-minimized geometries for the two outer sphere species were used to calculate the R1p values for the H(8) and H(2) signals for comparison with the observed R1p values: 0.92(c), 1.04(ob) (H(8)) and 0.06(c), 0.35(ob) (H(2)) for H2AMP; and 3.76(c), 4.53(ob) (H(8)) and 0.16(c), 0.77(ob) s-1 (H(2)) for HIMP-.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献

The interaction of adenosine-5'-monophosphate (5'-AMP), guanosine-5'-monophosphate (5'-GMP) and 2'-deoxyguanosine-5'-monophosphate (5'-dGMP) with the [Co(NH3)6]3+, [Co(NH3)5Cl]2+ and [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+ cations has been investigated in aqueous solution with metal/nucleotide ratios (r) of 1/2, 1 and 2 at neutral pH. The solid complexes have been isolated and characterized by FT-IR and 1H-NMR spectroscopy. The complexes are polymeric in nature both in the crystalline solid and aqueous solution. The binding of the cobalt-hexammine cation is indirectly (via NH3) through the N-7 and the PO3(2-) groups of the AMP and via O-6, N-7 and the PO3(2-) of the GMP and dGMP anions (outer-sphere). The cobalt-pentammine and cobalt-tetrammine bindings are through the phosphate groups (inner-sphere) and the N-7 site (outer-sphere) of these nucleotide anions. The ribose moiety shows C2'-endo/anti conformation, in the free AMP and GMP anions as well as in the cobalt-ammine-AMP complexes, whereas a mixture of teh C2'-endo/anti and C3'-endo/anti sugar puckers were observed for the Co(NH3)6-GMP, Co(NH3)5-GMP and a C3'-endo/anti conformer for the Co(NH3)4-GMP complexes. The deoxyribose showed an O4'-endo/anti conformation for the free dGMP anion and a C3'-endo/anti for the Co(NH3)6-dGMP, Co(NH3)5-dGMP and Co(NH3)4-dGMP complexes. 相似文献

The solution structure of an RNA hairpin modelling the P5 helix of a group I intron, complexed with Co(NH3)63+, has been determined by nuclear magnetic resonance. Co(NH3)63+, which possesses a geometry very close to Mg(H2O)62+, was used to identify and characterize a Mg2+binding site in the RNA. Strong and positive intermolecular nuclear Overhauser effect (NOE) cross-peaks define a specific complex in which the Co(NH3)63+molecule is in the major groove of tandem G.U base-pairs. The structure of the RNA is characterized by a very low twist angle between the two G.U base-pairs, providing a flat and narrowed major groove. The Co(NH3)63+, although highly localized, is free to rotate to hydrogen bond in several ways to the O4 atoms of the uracil bases and to N7 and O6 of the guanine bases. Negative and small NOE cross-peaks to other protons in the sequence reveal a non-specific or delocalized interaction, characterized by a high mobility of the cobalt ion. Mn2+titrations of P5 show specific broadening of protons of the G.U base-pairs that form the metal ion binding site, in agreement with the NOE data from Co(NH3)63+. Binding constants for the interaction of Co(NH3)63+and of Mg2+to P5 were determined by monitoring imino proton chemical shifts during titration of the RNA with the metal ions. Dissociation constants are on the order of 0.1 mM for Co(NH3)63+and 1 mM for Mg2+. Binding studies were done on mutants with sequences corresponding to the three orientations of tandem G.U base-pairs. The affinities of Co(NH3)63+and Mg2+for the tandem G.U base-pairs depend strongly on their sequences; the differences can be understood in terms of the different structures of the corresponding metal ion-RNA complexes. Substitution of G.C or A.U for G.U pairs also affected the binding, as expected. These structural and thermodynamic results provide systematic new information about major groove metal ion binding in RNA. 相似文献

As a substitute for M(H2O)2+6, Co(NH3)3+6 was found to activate calcineurin with para-nitrophenyl phosphate as substrate. Kinetics for calcineurin catalyzed hydrolysis of para-nitrophenyl phosphate at pH 7.0 with Mn2+, Mg2+, Co2+, and Co(NH3)3+6 were compared. Although kcat and Km were different with the metals, values of kcat/Km were nearly identical for Mn2+ and Mg2+, but lower for Co2+ and Co(NH3)3+6. The concentration of each metal providing half-maximal activation, designated Kact, was evaluated as 15.9 mM for Co(NH3)3+6, compared to Kact = 0.17 mM for Mn2+ and Co2+ and 6.3 mM for Mg2+, respectively. Comparing kcat/Kcat showed that Co(NH3)3+6 was a 170-fold poorer activator of calcineurin than was Mn2+, but only 1.5-fold poorer than Mg2+. Activation by Co(NH3)3+6 indicated that activation of calcineurin by exogenous metal ions can proceed via an outer coordination sphere reaction mechanism with no requirement for the direct coordination of substrate by metal. Because Co(NH3)3+6 was found to support calcineurin activity, the related compound [Co-(ethylenediamine)3]3+ (or Co(en)3+3) was tested as a possible activator. Co(en)3+3 did not support calcineurin activity but did inhibit calcineurin. Co(en)3+3 showed competitive inhibition kinetics with either Mn2+ or pNPP as the varied ligand and the other at a fixed, subsaturating concentration. Inorganic phosphate was used as a known competitive inhibitor to pNPP (B. L. Martin and D. J. Graves, J. Biol. Chem. 261, 14545-14550, 1986) and showed uncompetitive inhibition with Mn2+ as the varied ligand. These patterns are consistent with the mechanism of ligand binding to calcineurin being ordered with metal preceding substrate. Prior formation of a metal-substrate complex was not required for association with calcineurin. 相似文献

Identification and characterization of a metal ion binding site in an RNA pseudoknot was accomplished using cobalt (III) hexammine, Co(NH3)63+, as a probe for magnesium (II) hexahydrate, Mg(H2O)62+, in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) structural studies. The pseudoknot causes efficient -1 ribosomal frameshifting in mouse mammary tumor virus. Divalent metal ions, such as Mg2+, are critical for RNA structure and function; Mg2+preferentially stabilizes the pseudoknot relative to its constituent hairpins. The use of Co(NH3)63+as a substitute for Mg2+was investigated by ultraviolet absorbance melting curves, NMR titrations of the imino protons, and analysis of NMR spectra in the presence of Mg2+or Co (NH3)63+. The structure of the pseudoknot-Co(NH3)63+complex reveals an ion-binding pocket formed by a short, two-nucleotide loop and the major groove of a stem. Co(NH3)63+stabilizes the sharp loop-to-stem turn and reduces the electrostatic repulsion of the phosphates in three proximal strands. Hydrogen bonds are identified between the Co(NH3)63+protons and non-bridging phosphate oxygen atoms, 2' hydroxyl groups, and nitrogen and oxygen acceptors on the bases. The binding site is significantly different from that previously characterized in the major groove surface of tandem G.U base-pairs, but is similar to those observed in crystal structures of a fragment of the 5 S rRNA and the P5c helix of the Tetrahymena thermophila group I intron. Changes in chemical shifts occurred at the same pseudoknot protons on addition of Mg2+as on addition of Co(NH3)63+, indicating that both ions bind at the same site. Ion binding dissociation constants of approximately 0.6 mM and 5 mM (in 200 mM Na+and a temperature of 15 degrees C) were obtained for Co(NH3)63+and Mg2+, respectively, from the change in chemical shift as a function of metal ion concentration. An extensive array of non-sequence-specific hydrogen bond acceptors coupled with conserved structural elements within the binding pocket suggest a general mode of divalent metal ion stabilization of this type of frameshifter pseudoknot. These results provide new thermodynamic and structural insights into the role divalent metal ions play in stabilizing RNA tertiary structural motifs such as pseudoknots. 相似文献

The exchange inert coordination complexes, Cr(H2O)4GDP, Cr(H2O)4GTP, Cr(NH3)4GDP, Cr(NH3)4GTP, Co(NH3)4GDP, and Co(NH3)4GTP have been synthesized and characterized. The lambda and delta coordination isomers of Cr(H2O)4GDP, Cr(NH3)4GDP, and the four Cr(H2O)4GTP isomers have been separated by reverse phase HPLC and characterized by their CD spectra. While the isomers of Co(NH3)4GTP have not been successfully separated, 31P NMR spectroscopy reveals the presence of the lambda and delta forms. The complexes, Cr(H2O)4GDP, Co(NH3)4GDP, Cr(H2O)4GTP, and Co(NH3)4GTP, are linear competitive inhibitors of avian phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase. The Ki values of 30 microM, 540 microM, 40 microM, and 12 microM, respectively, were determined for these complexes using Mn-IDP as the nucleotide substrate in the phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylation direction or Mn-ITP as nucleotide substrate for the oxalacetate decarboxylation reaction. The lambda and delta isomers of Cr(H2O)4 GDP show little specificity (a twofold maximum difference in Ki) for the enzyme. The isomeric forms of Cr(H2O)4 GTP demonstrate no observed stereoselectivity of interaction with the enzyme. All of the complexes tested, except for Cr(NH3)4GDP and Co(NH3)4GDP, which have larger Ki values, are good substrate analogs for P-enolpyruvate carboxykinase. When the substrate is Mn-GTP, fixed at 0.2 mM at pH 6.0, enzyme activity is stimulated two- to two and a half-fold by Cr(H2O)4GTP. A Dixon plot reveals that the stimulatory effect is saturated at 0.4 mM Cr(H2O)4GTP. The interaction of the enzyme with Cr(H2O)4GTP appears to produce a "memory" effect which is manifest with guanosine nucleotide substrates, but which is not observed with the alternative substrate Mn-ITP. 相似文献

The cytotoxicity of certain Cr(III) complexes, such as [Cr(salen)(H(2)O)(2)](+), [Cr(edta)(H(2)O)](-), [Cr(en)(3)](3+), [Cr(ox)(3)](3-), [Cr(pic)(3)], and CrCl(3), which differ in ionic character and ligand environment in human dermal skin fibroblasts, has been studied. After 72 h of exposure to 100 microM doses of chromium(III) complexes, the order in which the complexes had an inhibitory effect on cell viability was [Cr(en)(3)](3+) > [Cr(salen)(H(2)O)(2)](+) > [Cr(ox)(3)](3-) > [Cr(edta)(H(2)O)](-) > [Cr(pic)(3)] > CrCl(3). Based on viability studies it was confirmed that [Cr(en)(3)](3+), a triply charged cation, inhibits cell proliferation, and therefore, it was chosen to carry out further investigations. [Cr(en)(3)](3+), at a dose of 50 microM, was found to bring about surface morphological changes, evidenced by cellular blebbing and spike formation accompanied by nuclear damage. TEM analysis revealed substantial intracellular damage to fibroblasts in terms of the formation of apoptotic bodies and chromatin condensation, thus reflecting cell death. FACS analysis further revealed DNA damage by formation of a sub-G(1) peak with 84.2% DNA as aneuploid DNA and arrest of the G(2) / M phase of the cell cycle. Cellular DNA damage was confirmed by agarose gel electrophoresis with the characteristic appearance of a DNA streak in DNA isolated from [Cr(en)(3)](3+)-treated fibroblasts. The proposed mechanism suggests the plausible role of Cr(V), formed as a result of oxidation of Cr(III) by cellular oxidative enzymes, in the cytotoxic response. Consequently, any Cr(III) complex that is absorbed by cells and can be oxidized to Cr(V) must be considered a potential carcinogen. This has potential implications for the increased use of Cr(III) complexes as dietary supplements and highlights the need to consider the cytotoxicity and genotoxicity of a variety of Cr(III) complexes and to understand the potential hazards of Cr(III) complexes encountered in research laboratories. 相似文献

How do MgATP analogues differentially modify high-affinity and low-affinity ATP binding sites of Na+/K(+)-ATPase? 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The exchange-inert tetra-ammino-chromium complex of ATP [Cr(NH3)4ATP], unlike the analogous cobalt complex Co(NH3)4ATP, inactivated Na+/K(+)-ATPase slowly by interacting with the high-affinity ATP binding site. The inactivation proceeded at 37 degrees C with an inactivation rate constant of 1.34 x 10(-3) min-1 and with a dissociation constant of 0.62 microM. To assess the potential role of the water ligands of metal in binding and inactivation, a kinetic analysis of the inactivation of Na+/K(+)-ATPase by Cr(NH3)4ATP, and its H2O-substituted derivatives Cr(NH3)3(H2O)ATP, Cr(NH3)2(H2O)2ATP and Cr(H2O)4ATP was carried out. The substitution of the H2O ligands with NH3 ligands increased the apparent binding affinity and decreased the inactivation rate constants of the enzyme by these complexes. Inactivation by Cr(H2O)4ATP was 29-fold faster than the inactivation by Cr(NH3)4ATP. These results suggested that substitution to Cr(III) occurs during the inactivation of the enzyme. Additionally hydrogen bonding between water ligands of metal and the enzyme's active-site residues does not seem to play a significant role in the inactivation of Na+/K(+)-ATPase by Cr(III)-ATP complexes. Inactivation of the enzyme by Rh(H2O)nATP occurred by binding of this analogue to the high-affinity ATP site with an apparent dissociation constant of 1.8 microM. The observed inactivation rate constant of 2.11 x 10(-3) min-1 became higher when Na+ or Mg2+ or both were present. The presence of K+ however, increased the dissociation constant without altering the inactivation rate constant. High concentrations of Na+ reactivated the Rh(H2O)nATP-inactivated enzyme. Co(NH3)4ATP inactivates Na+/K(+)-ATPase by binding to the low-affinity ATP binding site only at high concentrations. However, inactivation of the enzyme by Cr(III)-ATP or Rh(III)-ATP complexes was prevented when low concentrations of Co(NH3)4ATP were present. This indicates that, although Co(NH3)4ATP interacts with both ATP sites, inactivation occurs only through the low-affinity ATP site. Inactivation of Na+/K(+)-ATPase was faster by the delta isomer of Co(NH3)4ATP than by the delta isomer. Co(NH3)4ATP, but not Cr(H2O)4ATP or adenosine 5'-[beta,gamma-methylene]triphosphate competitively inhibited K(+)-activated p-nitrophenylphosphatase activity of Na+/K(+)-ATPase, which is assumed to be a partial reaction of the enzyme catalyzed by the low-affinity ATP binding site. 相似文献

Three complexes containing the novel, sterically hindered ligand 6-(methylpyridin-2-yl)acetate (PICAC) have been synthesized and characterized: [Pt(NH3)2(PICAC-N,O)]NO3 (1), [Pt(en)(PICAC-N,O)]NO3 (2), and [Pd(en)(PICAC-N,O)]NO3 (3) (en = ethane-1,2-diamine). The crystal structures of 2 and 3 have been determined. The two complexes are isostructural and exhibit a mixed [N3O] coordination. In both cases, PICAC forms a sterically crowded six-membered chelate. Signal multiplicities in 1H NMR spectra of 1-3 indicate that the N,O chelates are conformationally rigid on the NMR timescale as a result of the steric bulk of the pyridine derivative. Complex 2 undergoes facile ring opening in 0.1M NaCl solution at neutral pH, resulting in a zwitterionic species in which carboxylate oxygen has been replaced with chloride. The complex was identified by X-ray crystallography as [PtCl(en)(PICAC-N)] x H2O (4), which contains a "dangling" carboxylate group. In 4, the pyridine moiety adopts an almost perpendicular orientation relative to the platinum coordination plane. Likewise, complex 2 reacts rapidly with 5'-guanosine monophosphate (5'-GMP) to form the monofunctional adduct [Pt(en)(PICAC)(5'-GMP)] (5) (NMR, 25 degrees C, t(1/2) approximately 24 min). 2-D nuclear Overhauser enhancement spectroscopy (NOESY) and double quantum-filtered correlated spectroscopy (dqf-COSY) experiments (500 MHz) and variable temperature NMR spectroscopy confirm that adduct 5 exists as a 1:1 mixture of rotamers in solution as a result of the mutual repulsion between the cis-oriented pyridine and guanine bases. While 2 readily reacts with DNA nitrogen, its monofunctional adducts show no significant effect on the conformation of native DNA. Circular dichroism (CD) spectra recorded of platinum-modified calf-thymus DNA suggest that the structural damage produced by complex 2 does not mimic that produced by the clinical agent. Both the unusual reactivity and the inability to induce cisplatin-like DNA conformational changes are proposed to be responsible for the marginal biological activity of the new complexes. 相似文献

Molecular modeling and energy minimisation calculations have been used to investigate the interaction of chromium(III) complexes in different ligand environments with various sequences of B-DNA. The complexes are [Cr(salen)(H(2)O)(2)](+); salen denotes 1, 2 bis-salicylideneaminoethane, [Cr(salprn)(H(2)O)(2)](+); salprn denotes 1, 3 bis- salicylideneaminopropane, [Cr(phen)(3)](3+); phen denotes 1, 10 phenanthroline and [Cr(en)(3)](3+); en denotes ethylenediamine. All the chromium(III) complexes are interacted with the minor groove and major groove of d(AT)(12), d(CGCGAATTCGCG)(2) and d(GC)(12) sequences of DNA. The binding energy and hydrogen bond parameters of DNA-Cr complex adduct in both the groove have been determined using molecular mechanics approach. The binding energy and formation of hydrogen bonds between chromium(III) complex and DNA has shown that all complexes of chromium(III) prefer minor groove interaction as the favourable binding mode. 相似文献

Interaction between [Co(NH3)5Cl]Cl2, [Co(NH3)4Cl2]Cl and L-ascorbic acid has been investigated in aqueous solution and solid complexes of the type [Co(NH3)5 ascorbate]Cl2 X H2O and [Co(NH3)4 ascorbate]Cl2 X H2O have been isolated and characterized by 13C-NMR, FT-IR and electron absorption spectroscopy. Spectroscopic and other evidence suggested that the sugar anion binds monodentately in the [Co(NH3)5 ascorbate]2+ cation via the ionized O3 oxygen atom and bidentately in [Co(NH3)4 ascorbate]2+ through the O1 and O4 oxygen atoms, resulting in a six-coordinate geometry around the Co(III) ion. The intermolecular sugar hydrogen-bonding network is perturbed upon sugar metalation and the sugar moiety shows a similar conformation to that of the sodium ascorbate compound in these series of cobalt-ammine complexes. 相似文献

The hydrolysis of 4-nitrophenyl acetate by metal complexes Co(en)2(imH)H2O3+, Co(en)2(bzmH)H2O3+, and Co(en)2(imCH3)H2O3+ (imH = imidazole, bzmH = benzimodazole, imCH3 = methyl imidazole) has been investigated in the pH range 5.4-8.9. The small difference in nucleophilic reactivity in the pH range 5.4-6.7 is assumed to be due to hydrogen bonding abilities of the imidazole and substituted imidazole ligands and small pKa differences (k2(imH) = 2.2 X 10(-2) M-1 sec-1, k2(bzmH) = 5.68 X 10(-2) M-1 sec-1, k2(imCH3) = 1.35 X 10(-2) M-1 sec-1, 40 degrees C, 1 = 0.3 NaClO4, pKa(imH) = 6.2, pKa(imCH3) = 6.2 and pKa(bzmH) = 5.9). In the pH range 7.8-8.9, the differences in nucleophilic reactivity (k3(imH) = 85.5 X 10(-2) M-1 sec-1, k3(bzmH) = 33.4 X 10(-2) M-1 sec-1, 40 degrees C, I = 0.3 NaClO4) are reconciled with a significant steric factor outweighing the acidity of the benzimidazole complex. In the pH region 6.7-7.7, the deviation from linearity is presumably due to both hydroxo and imido ligands functioning as nucleophiles, the latter being about 40 times stronger than the former. 相似文献

Recent experiments [Wells, J., & Yount, R. (1979) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 76, 4966] have shown it is possible to trap MgADP and other nucleotides stably at the active site of myosin by cross-linking two thiol groups. A variety of cross-linking reagents including chelation of the two thiols by cobalt (III) phenanthroline or covalent reaction with N,N'-p-phenylenedimaleimide (pPDM) are effective trapping agents. No trapping of nucleotides occurs in the absence of divalent metals. Thus far Mg2+, Mn2+, Co2+, Ni2+, and Ca2+ but not Zn2+ all function to promote trapping of the 1:1 divalent metal-ADP complex and to enhance the rate of ATPase inactivation. Substitution-inert Cr(III) complexes of ADP, ATP, or pyrophosphate that bind very weakly or not at all to the active site are not trapped by cross-linking. While the stability of the trapped divalent metals varies, e.g., t1/2 of 0.5-7 days at 0 degree C, they are stable enough to permit accurate spectral measurements of the Mn2+ and Co2+ trapped complexes. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) measurements of Mn2+ bound to 5'-adenylyl imidodiphosphate or complexed to myosin chymotryptic subfragment 1 indicate that the metal is bound at the active site. Circular dichroism (CD) and visible absorption studies of the Co2+ . ADP trapped complex indicate the metal ion is in an asymmetric octahedral environment. EPR and CD measurements show that the environment of the metal nucleotide is the same whether bound reversibly or stably trapped at the active site. 相似文献

Effects of NO2-modification of Tyr83 on the reactivity of spinach plastocyanin with inorganic redox partners [Fe(CN)6]3-/4- and [Co(phen)3]3+/2+ 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Plastocyanin (PCu) from spinach leaves has been singly NO2-modified, purified by FPLC, and the position of modification at Tyr83 confirmed by trypsin digestion and amino-acid sequencing. Electron-transfer reactions of native and NO2-modified PCu with the inorganic redox partners [Fe(CN)6]3- and [Co(phen)3]3+, as oxidants for PCu(I), and [Fe(CN)6]4- and [Co(phen)3]2+ as reductants for PCu(II), have been studied as a function of pH. The acid dissociation constant for the phenolic group on NO2-Tyr83 PCu is 8.78 (average) for reduced, and 8.10 for oxidised protein, as compared to values greater than 10 for native protein. At I = 0.10 M (NaCl) NO2-modification brings about a 20 mV increase in reduction potential at pH less than 7 and deprotonation of the phenolic group a 20-25 mV decrease, both transmitted to and effective at the active site. Deprotonation brings about a 48% increase in rate for [Fe(CN)6]3- and a 47% decrease for [Fe(CN)6]4- in accordance with these changes. In the case of [Co(phen)3]3+, which reacts substantially at the remote site in the vicinity of Tyr83, the influence of deprotonation on the active site is supplemented by the negative charge of the phenolate, and a total increase of 131% is observed. These results can be understood on the basis of the electron-transfer theory, and add support to the belief that electron transfer kinetics of negatively and positively charged reactants are dominated by different sites on PCu for electron transfer, namely adjacent (close to His87) and remote (close to Tyr83), respectively. 相似文献

The synthesis of four mononuclear palladium complexes of general formula [Pd(en)Cl(L)]NO3 (en = ethylenediamine; L = pyridine (I), 4-methylpyridine (II), 4-hydroxypyridine (III) or 4-aminopyridine (IV) has been achieved. The structure of these compounds was studied by elemental analysis, IR, far-IR and 1H NMR; complex I was analyzed by X-ray diffraction. The crystal of [Pd(en)(pyridine)Cl]NO3 is monoclinic, space group P21/c (a = 7.990(2), b = 16.058(3), c = 9.846(2) A, beta = 103.81(3) degrees, Z = 4, R = 0.067, Rw = 0.066). The Pd(II) atom exhibits an approximately square planar coordination with bond lengths in the range 2.017-2.042 A for Pd-N and 2.320 A for Pd-Cl. In order to determine the donor strength of the aromatic pyridine ligands, the stability constants of binary complex ML2+ (M = [Pd(en) (H2O)2]2+; L = pyridine, 4-Me-pyridine, 4-OH-pyridine and 4-NH2-pyridine) were determined by potentiometric pH titration in aqueous solution (T = 25 degrees C, I = 0.1 mol l-1 NaNO3). The results show that the stability constants of the binary complexes systematically increase with increasing pKa of the pyridines. The above four palladium complexes, [Pt(en)(pyridine)Cl]NO3 and cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (II) (cis-DDP) were assayed for cytotoxicity in vitro against the human leukemia cell line HL-60, and compounds I, II, III and cis-DDP show significant cytotoxic activity against HL-60. 相似文献

A new class of surfactant-cobalt(III) complex ions of the type, cis-[Co(X)(2)(C(14)H(29)NH(2))Cl](2+) (where X=ethylenediamine (en), or 2,2'-bipyridyl (bpy), or 1,10-phenanthroline (phen)) and cis-[Co(trien)(C(14)H(29)NH(2))Cl](2+) (trien=triethylenetetramine) were synthesized and characterized by IR, NMR, UV-visible electronic absorption spectra, elemental analysis and metal analysis. The critical micelle concentration (CMC) values of these surfactant-cobalt(III) complexes in aqueous solution were obtained from conductance measurements. Specific conductivity data (at 298, 308, 318 and 328 K) served for the evaluation of the temperature-dependent CMC and the thermodynamics of micellization (DeltaG(0)(m), DeltaH(0)(m) and DeltaS(0)(m)). Interactions between calf thymus DNA and the surfactant-cobalt(III) complexes in aqueous solution have been investigated by electronic absorption spectroscopy, emission spectroscopy and viscosity measurements. The electrostatic interactions, van der Waals interactions and/or partial intercalative binding have been observed in these systems. The surfactant-cobalt(III) complexes were screened for their antibacterial and antifungal activities against various microorganisms. The results were compared with the standard drugs, Ciprofloxacin and Fluconazole respectively. 相似文献

Cobalt(III) Schiff base complexes have been shown to inhibit the replication of the ocular herpes virus. It is well known that these complexes have a high affinity for nitrogenous donors such as histidine residues, and it is possible that they bind to (and inhibit) an enzyme that is crucial to viral replication. In model studies, we have found that [Co(acacen)(NH3)2]+ is an effective irreversible inhibitor of thermolysin at millimolar concentrations; it also inhibits human alpha-thrombin. Axial ligand exchange with an active-site histidine is the proposed mechanism of inhibition. The activity of thermolysin and thrombin can be protected by binding a reversible inhibitor to the active site before addition of the cobalt(III) complex. 相似文献
