The normal modes have been calculated for structures having the dihedral angles of the four β-turns of insulin. Frequencies are predicted in the amide I region near 1652 and 1680 cm?1. The former overlaps the α-helix band at 1658 cm?1 in the Raman spectrum, while the latter accounts for the hitherto unassignable band at 1681 cm?1. Calculated amide III frequencies extend above 1300 cm?1, providing a compelling assignment of the 1303-cm?1 band in insulin and similar bands in other globular proteins.  相似文献

Infrared spectra of myoglobin, ribonuclease, lysozyme, α-chymotrypsin, α-lactalbumin, and β-lactoglobulin A were obtained in deuterium oxide solution in units of absorbance versus wavenumber from 1340 to 1750 cm?1. The spectra were resolved into Gaussian components by means of an iterative computer program. Resolved characteristic absorption peaks for the two infrared active amide I′ components of antiparallel chain-pleated sheets (β-structure) were obtained. The characteristic amide I′ peaks of α-helical regions and apparently unordered regions overlap in D2O solution. Absorptivity values for the resolved β-structure peak around 1630 cm?1 were estimated on the basis of the known structure of ribonuclease, lysozyme, and β-chymotrypsin. The β-structure content of β-lactoglobulin was estimated to be ca. 48% of α-lactalbumin ca. 18%, and of αs-casein close to zero. The results are in general agreement with conclusions drawn from circular dichroism and optical rotatory dispersion studies.  相似文献

Laser Raman scattering of cobramine B, a basic protein from cobra venom   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Cobramine B, a small basic protein from cobra venom, is selected as a model for studying the scattering intensity of tyrosyl ring vibrations in the Raman spectra of proteins. All three tyrosines in this protein appear to be “buried” in the interior of the molecule and probably involved in interactions which are similar to those of the three “buried” tyrosines in RNase A when it is dissolved in water. Spectral evidence is presented and discussed. The Raman spectra in the 300–1800 cm?1 region of cobramine B in the solid and solution are compared quantitatively. Several differences exist between the two spectra and may be interpreted in terms of difference in conformation. In the amide I region, a strong single line was observed at 1672 cm?1 both in the solid and solution spectra, suggesting that this protein may contain a large fraction of antiparallel-β structure. This is supported by the presence of a line at 1235 cm?1 in the amide III region, which is also characteristic of β-structure. The resolved peaks at 1254 and 1270 cm?1 indicate the coexistence of some hydrogen-bonded random-coil and some α-helix with the β-structure.  相似文献

Based on the assumption that the conformational energy surface of a protein molecule can be approximated near the global minimum point by a multidimensional parabola, conformational fluctuations in the native state are discussed. In this approximation the conformational fluctuations can be viewed as excitations of coupled harmonic oscillations of dihedral angles. For the purpose of estimating the range of frequencies vibrations, globular proteins are assumed to made of homogeneous continuous elastic material. The number of vibrational modes in such an elastic body, with the wavelength no less than the characteristic length of an amino acid residue, are estimated roughly to be three times the number of amino acid residues in a protein, which is slightly less than the number of variable dihedral angles in a protein. Their frequencies, when converted to the wavenumber of corresponding light, are found to range from 1.8 × 10 cm?1 to 2.1 × 102cm?1 for a protein with the diameter d = 40 Å, when Young's E = 1011 dyne/cm2 is assumed. A significant fraction of the coupled vibrations of dihedral angles in real globular proteins are collective ones, i.e., those involving the whole protein molecules. Based on these results, it concluded that the depth of the global minimum s at least 150 Kcal/mol.  相似文献

The ir spectra of lathyritic rat skin collagen and calf skin gelatin solutions at a variety of temperatures were obtained using Fourier transform ir spectroscopy and a 9-reflection, 2-pass ZnSe prism sample cell. The spectra were then deconvolved (based on Kauppinnen's method) and the behavior of the amide I band at ~ 1650 cm?1 observed in detail. Throughout the temperature range studied (4–50°C), three component absorption peaks within the amide I band (at 1633, 1643, and 1660 cm?1) are common to the spectra irrespective of the degree of triple helix content of the sample. Changes in the relative intensities of these component peaks are, however, conformationally dependent. During denaturation of the triple helix, the dominant 1660-cm?1 component in the native collagen spectrum diminishes and the 1633-cm?1 peak becomes relatively intensified. The inherently strong basicity of the carbonyl group of the proline residues together with the frequent occurrence of this imino acid in the X position of the Gly-X-Y triplet of collagen largely accounts for the ?30-cm?1 shift of the amide I band during denaturation. Temperature and conformationally dependent changes in the fine structure of the amide I band from dilute solutions of collagen can be monitored in a reproducible and quantitative fashion.  相似文献

Outer and cytoplasmic membranes of Escherichia coli were prepared by a method based on isopyenic centrifugation on a sucrose gradient. The infrared spectra of solid films of these membranes were studied. The cytoplasmic membrane had an amide I band at 1657 cm?1 and an amide II band at 1548 cm?1. The outer membrane had a broad amide I band at 1631–1657 cm?1 and an amid II band at 1548 cm?1 with a shoulder at 1520–1530 cm?1. Upon deuteration, the amide I band of the cytoplasmic membrane shifted to 1648 cm?1, whereas the band at 1631 cm?1 of the outer membrane remained unchanged. After extraction of lipids with chloroform and methanol, the infrared spectra in the amide I and amide II regions of both membranes remained unchanged. Although the outer membrane specifically contained lipopolysaccharide, this could not account for the difference in the infrared spectra of outer and cytoplasmic membranes. It is concluded that a large portion of proteins in the outer membrane is a β-structured polypeptide, while this conformation is found less, if at all in the cytoplasmic membrane.  相似文献

New techniques in laser Raman spectroscopy are used to obtain spectra of aqueous solutions of lysozylme for frequency shifts as small as 5 cm?1. In addition, Raman measurements are made on two crystalline forms of hen egg white lysozyme. The spectra obtained from the solution and from the crystal are found to be similar for frequencies above 100 cm?1. However, a low-frequency band at 25 cm?1 observed in crystalline lysozyme is not found in the solution, indicating that this band cannot be attributed to an internal molecular vibration.  相似文献

The Raman spectra of the double helical complexes of poly C–poly G and poly I–poly C at neutral pH are presented and compared with the spectra of the constituent homopolymers. When a completely double-helical structure is formed in solution a strong sharp band at 810–814 cm?1 appears which has previously been shown to be due to the A-type conformation of the sugar–phosphate backbone chain. By taking the ratio of the intensity of the 810–814 cm?1 band to the intensity of the 1090–1100 cm?1 phosphate vibration, one can obtain an estimate of the fraction of the backbone chain in the A-type conformation for both double-stranded helices and self-stacked single chains. This type of information can apparently only be obtained by Raman spectroscopy. In addition, other significant changes in Raman intensities and frequencies have been observed and tabulated: (1) the Raman intensity of certain of the ring vibrations of guanine and hypoxanthine bases decrease as these bases become increasingly stacked (Raman hypochromism), (2) the Raman band at 1464 cm?1 in poly I is asigned to the amide II band of the cis-amide group of the hypoxanthine base. It shifts in frequency upon base pairing to 1484 cm?1, thus permitting the determination of the fraction of I–C pairs formed.  相似文献

The far-infrared absorption spectrum (40–400 cm?1) of solid pellets and films of several globular proteins (lysozyme, myoglobin, hemoglobin, serum albumin, ribonuclease, chymotrypsinogen, subtilisin) and of some representative polypeptides [nylon 66, poly (γ-benzyl L -glutamate)] have been investigated by using a Michelson interferometer. While polypeptides are known to present several peaks which can be assigned mostly to hydrogen-bond modes, all the investigated globular proteins display only one broad, intense baud in the 100–200 cm?1 region. The origin of this band, which persists even after denaturation or partial digestion, is discussed.  相似文献

We report the resonance Raman spectra in the frequency range 300–1800 cm?1 of Fe (III)-ovotransferrin and Fe (III)-human serum transferrin in aqueous solution at about 10?4M protein concentration. This is the first observation of resonance Raman scattering ascribable to amino acid ligand vibrational modes of a nonheme iron protein. The resonance Raman spectra of the transferrins are similar except that the resonance band near 1270 cm?1 is shifted to a higher frequency for Fe(III)-human serum transferrin than that for Fe(III)-ovotransferrin. The resonance Raman bands observed near 1170, 1270, 1500 and 1600 cm?1 may reflect resonance enhancement of p-hydroxy-phenyl frequencies of tyrosine residues and/or imidazolium frequencies of histidine residues.  相似文献

The synthetic, zwitterionic bacterial cell wall peptides—D -Gluγ-L-Lys, D -Gluγ-L-Lys-D -Ala, D -Gluγ-L-Lys-D -Ala-D -Ala, and L-Ala-D -Gluγ-L-Lys-D -Ala-D -Ala—have been investigated in the crystalline and aqueous solution state applying ir and Raman spectroscopy. Additionally, aqueous solutions of the tetra- and pentapeptide have been investigated by CD spectroscopic techniques. Apart from the dipeptide, whose spectral features were dominated by end-group vibrations, the corresponding ir and Raman active bands of the crystalline peptides in the amide and skeletal regions were found at similar wave numbers, thus suggesting an analogous three-dimensional structure of these compounds. Dominant amide A, I, II, and III bands near 3275, 1630, 1540, and 1220–1250 cm?1, respectively, in the ir are interpreted in favor of an intermolecularly hydrogen-bonded, β-like structure. The absence of any amide components near 1680–1690 cm?1, together with the presence of strong amide bands near 1630 cm?1, and weak bands near 1660 cm?1 in the ir, which, conversely, were found in the Raman spectra as weak and strong bands, but at corresponding wave numbers, is taken as strong evidence for the presence of the unusual, parallel-arranged β-structure. On the basis of comparative theoretical considerations, a parallel-arranged, “β-type ring” conformation [P. De Santis, S. Morosetti, and R. Rizzo (1974) Macromolecules 7 , 52–58] is hypothesized. The solubilized peptides exhibited distinct similarities with their crystalline counterparts in respect to frequency values and relative intensities of the corresponding ir and Raman-active amide I/I′ components, and of some Raman bands in the skeletal region. This is interpreted in terms of residual short-range order, persisting even in aqueous solution. We concluded that the peptides show a strong propensity to form hydrated, strongly associated aggregates in water. On the basis of amide I/I′ band positions, stable, intramolecular interactions via the amide groups are discarded for the solubilized peptides. Complementarily, the CD data obtained suggest the presence of weakly bent, “open-turn”-like structures for the tetra- and pentapeptide in aqueous solution.  相似文献

The i.r. spectra for aqueous solutions of sulfated glycosaminoglycans and model compounds in the transmittance “window” region of the solvent (1400-950 cm?1) are dominated by the strong and complex absorption centered at ~1230 cm?1 and associated with the antisymmetric stretching vibrations of the SO groups. Primary and secondary O-sulfate groups absorb at somewhat higher frequencies (1260-1200 cm?1) than N-sulfates (~1185 cm?1). Each sulfate band lends itself to quantitative applications, especially within a given class of sulfated polysaccharide. Laser-Raman spectra of heparin and model compounds have been obtained in aqueous solution and in the solid state. The most-prominent Raman peak (at ~1060 cm?1) is attributable to the symmetrical vibration of the SO groups, with N-sulfates emitting at somewhat lower frequencies (~1040 cm?1) than O-sulfates. The Raman pattern in the 950-800 cm?1 region (currently used in the i.r. for distinguishing between types of sulfate groups) also involves vibrations that are not localized only in the COS bonds.  相似文献

Abstract

Conformational changes in ovalbumin, a globular protein, induced by an anionic surfactant, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), have been monitored by an FT-IR spectrometer using ZnSe cylindrical internal reflection optics which allows high quality IR spectra to be obtained in water solution. The most notable change, on addition of SDS, occurs in the composite band of the Amide I absorption band and the vibrational frequency of the composite C=O bond shifts from 1639 cm?1 to 1652 cm?1. On the other hand, the position of the Amide II band remains fairly unchanged.

Comparison of the various peak positions in the deconvoluted spectra for the native protein and the perturbed protein clearly shows the effect of SDS on the secondary structures of the protein. SDS unfolds the protein. It increases the helix content slightly. More importantly, it alters the β sheet structure, destroying it almost completely in the Amide I region, while retaining it in its neighbourhood. In the deconvoluted spectra of the perturbed protein, a band at 1531 cm?1 indicates generation of some β turns. We used the second derivative of the deconvoluted spectra for fixing positions of minor peaks and shoulders.

The results of this study indicate that the deconvolution of the normal IR spectra, consisting of composite bands, provides evidence for the specific secondary structures in a protein and for the way they are affected by changes in the environment, e.g., the addition of SDS. This makes it possible to relate conformational changes to specific secondary structures.  相似文献

Laser-Raman spectra of L-α-dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) liposomes in the spectral range 1000–1200 cm?1 were obtained as a function of temperature from ?80 to +50°C. The triplet found in this spectral region was resolved into Lorentzian components by means of an iterative computer program. The peak intensities, band widths, and band areas of the resolved 1062 cm?1 and 1130 cm?1 bands, assigned to CC stretching vibrations of trans segments, were evaluated as a function of temperature. While the peak intensities of the bands decrease substantially with temperature, the band widths show a considerable increase. The change in band areas is therefore smaller than the change in peak heights. Experiments with all trans carboxylic acids showed that in these compounds the area of the Raman bands at 1062 cm?1 and 1130 cm?1 is proportional to the number of trans bonds. The variation with temperature of the number of trans and gauche bonds in the studied phospholipid is reflected by the change of the area of the 1130 cm?1 Raman band.  相似文献

High-resolution neutron time-of-flight (TOF) spectra were measured for partly deuterated hen egg-white lysozyme in solution with and without N-acetyl-glucosamine inhibitor bound to the cleft, and in polycrystalline form. Weak but reproducible bands occur at frequencies between 25 and 375 cm?1. The bands were tentatively assigned on the basis of previous results for homopolypeptides. At very small energy transfers (between about 1 cm?1 and 40 cm?1), the TOF spectra show a dependence both on inhibitor binding and crystalline environment. This is interpreted in terms of conformational flexibility.  相似文献

Laser Raman spectroscopy study indicates that in concentrated fresh acidic solution (30 mg/ml), glucagon remains predominantly α-helix and not random-coil. The splitting of the amide III band into three components in the crystal at 1262, 1275, and 1295 cm?1 is due to the α-conformation as expected. The presence of a small fraction of β-conformation is demonstrated by the appearance of the weak band at 1230 cm?1 in the fresh solution. This study also established the frequencies of amide III′ bands for the α- and β-conformations of glucagon: 957 and 988 cm?1 for α and β forms, respectively. The conformations of acidic and basic glucagon solutions are apparently different.  相似文献

The hydrodynamic properties of mushroom tyrosinase were determined at pH 6.5 using a Sephadex G-200 column. From the comparison of its gel-filtration behaviour with those of standard proteins, the following parameters were calculated: MW (122 500 ± 1%), Stokes' radius (42.75 × 10?8 cm2/sec), diffusion coefficient (5.048 × 10?7 cm2/sec) and frictional ratio (1.26). These values suggest a globular conformation of this enzyme.  相似文献

The Raman spectra of β-lactoglobulin in the crystalline, freeze-dried, and solution states are compared. The spectra of the freeze-dried and crystalline proteins were practically identical. The conformationally sensitive amide III line appearing at 1242 cm?1 increased in intensity 30% upon dissolution of the protein in water which is interpreted as a conformational change in the disordered chains of the protein. This result appears to be a phenomenon for globular proteins containing a large disordered chain fraction. The alkaline denaturation of β-lactoglobulin was studied. When the pH was increased from 6.0 to 11.0, the amide III line shifted from 1242 to 1246 cm?1, broadened, and decreased in intensity. This is consistent with the conversion of β-sheet regions in β-lactoglobulin to the disordered conformation, as has been proposed by other investigators. At pH 13.5 the amide III shifts to 1257 cm?1 characteristic of a completely disordered protein, indicating that any remaining “core” of β-sheet has been randomized. Several changes in the intensities of the tyrosine and tryptophan vibrations accompany the denaturation. As the pH is increased from 6.0 (native state) to 11.0 (denatured state) the intensity ratio of two tyrosine ring vibrations, I855 cm?1/I830 cm?1, decreases from 1.0:0.9 to 1.0:1.3. The same ratio for a copolymer consisting of 95% glutamic acid and 5% tyrosine at pH 7.0, where the polymer forms a random coil exposing the tyrosine to the aqueous environment, is 1.0:0.62. This ratio more closely resembles that corresponding to β-lactoglobulin at pH 6.0 (native state) than pH 11.0 (denatured state) suggesting that the average tyrosine in the denatured state may be in a more hydrophobic environment than in the native state. A time-dependent polymerization of the denatured protein reported by other investigators and observed by us may account for the change in the tyrosine environment. A tryptophan vibration appearing at 833 cm?1 in the spectrum of the native state becomes weak as the pH is increased to 11.0. The intensity of this line may also reflect the local environment of the tryptophan residue.  相似文献

The interpretation of the CD spectra of proteins to date requires additional secondary structural information of the proteins to be analyzed, such as x-ray or nmr data. Therefore, these methods are inappropriate for a CD data base whose secondary structures are unknown, as in the case of the membrane proteins. The Convex Constraint Analysis algorithm [A. Perczel, M. Hollósi, G. Tusnády, and G. D. Fasman (1991) Protein Engineering, Vol. 4, 669–679], on the other hand, operates only on a collection of spectral data to extract the common spectral components with their spectral weights. The linear combinations of these derived “pure” CD curves can reconstruct the original data set with great accuracy. For a membrane protein data set, the five-component spectra so obtained from the deconvolution consisted of two different types of α-helices (the α-helix in the soluble domain and the αT-helix, for the transmembrane α-helix), a β-pleated sheet, a class C-like spectrum related to β-turns, and a spectrum correlated with the unordered conformation. The deconvoluted CD spectrum for the αT-helix was characterized by a positive red-shifted band in the range 195–200 nm (+95,000 deg cm2 dmol?l), with the intensity of the negative band at 208 nm being slightly less negative than that of the 222 nm band (?50,000 and ?60,000 deg cm2 dmol?1, respectively) in comparison with the regular α-helix, with a positive band at 190 nm and two negative bands at 208 and 222 nm with magnitudes of + 70,000, ?30,000, and ?30,000 deg cm2 dmol?1, respectively. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.  相似文献

Normal coordinate analysis of diethyl phosphate has been made, which predicts all observed Raman frequencies in the range 170–1300 cm?1. The force constants from this calculation have been transferred to a vibrational calculation for a simplified model of the backbone of nucleic acids, which also involves the ? O? PO2?? O phosphate group and the ? C5′? C4′? C3′? linkage of the ribose. The coordinates of these atoms are those recently given by Arnott and Hukins, which place the ribose ring of B-DNA in a C3′-exo conformation. This simple polymer model appears to be able to describe adequately the frequency-dependent changes observed in the Raman spectra arising from the backbone vibrations of nucleic acid in going from the B- to A-form. The symmetric ? O? P? O? diester stretch increases in frequency from about 787 cm?1 in the B-form to 807 cm?1 in the A-form. The increased frequency characteristic of the A-form is due to the combining of the diester stretch with vibrations involving the C5′, C4′, and C3′ nuclei. The frequency of the symmetric ? O? P? O? diester stretch is shown to be very dependent on the conformation of the ribose ring, indicating that in polynucleotides the ribose ring takes on one of two rigid conformations: C3′-endo for A-form or C3′-exo for B-form and “disordered” polynucleotides. The calculation lends confirmation to the atomic coordinates of Arnott and Hukins since the use of other geometries with the same force constants failed to give results in agreement with experimental evidence. The calculations also demonstrate the lowering effect of hydration on the anionic PO stretching frequencies. Experimental results show that the 814-cm?1 band observed in the spectra of 5′GMP gel arises from a different vibrational mode than that of the 814-cm?1 band of A-DNA.  相似文献
