Here, we report the volume and enthalpy changes accompanying CO photodissociation from the mixed valence form of cytochrome bo3 oxidase from Escherichia coli. The results of photoacoustic calorimetry indicate two kinetic phases with distinct volume and enthalpy changes accompanying CO photodissociation from heme o3 and its transfer to CuB. The first phase occurring on a timescale of <50 ns is characterized by a volume decrease of -1.3+/-0.3 mL mol-1 and enthalpy change of 32+/-1.6 kcal mol-1. Subsequently, a volume increase of 2.9 mL mol-1 with an enthalpy change of -5.3+/-2.5 kcal mol-1 is observed with the lifetime of approximately 250 ns (this phase has not been detected in previous optical studies). These volume and enthalpy changes differ from the volume and enthalpy changes observed for CO dissociation from fully reduced cytochrome bo3 oxidase indicating that the heme o3/CuB active site dynamics are affected by the redox state of heme b. 相似文献

The dynamics of the enthalpy and volume changes produced in the photodissociation of carbon monoxide from sperm whale myoglobin is investigated by time-resolved photoacoustic calorimetry. The enthalpy and volume changes for the formation of the geminate pair, which occurs within 50 ns of photolysis, are delta H = -2.2 +/- 2.8 kcal/mol and delta V = -10.0 +/- 1.0 mL/mol relative to carboxymyoglobin. The enthalpy and volume changes associated with formation of deoxymyoglobin and solvated carbon monoxide, formed with a half-life of 702 +/- 31 ns at 20 degrees C, are delta H = 14.6 +/- 3.4 kcal/mol and delta V = 5.8 +/- 1.0 mL/mol relative to carboxymyoglobin. 相似文献

Photothermal beam deflection together with photo-acoustic calorimetry and thermal grating belongs to the family of photothermal methods that monitor the time-profile volume and enthalpy changes of light induced conformational changes in proteins on microsecond to millisecond time-scales that are not accessible using traditional stop-flow instruments. In addition, since overall changes in volume and/or enthalpy are probed, these techniques can be applied to proteins and other biomacromolecules that lack a fluorophore and or a chromophore label. To monitor dynamics and energetics of structural changes associated with Ca2+ binding to calcium transducers, such neuronal calcium sensors, a caged calcium compound, DM-nitrophen, is employed to photo-trigger a fast (τ < 20 μsec) increase in free calcium concentration and the associated volume and enthalpy changes are probed using photothermal beam deflection technique. 相似文献

Role of the arginine-45 salt bridge in ligand dissociation from sperm whale carboxymyoglobin as probed by photoacoustic calorimetry 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The dynamics of the enthalpy and volume changes found in the photodissociation of CO from sperm whale carboxymyoglobin and two site-directed mutants in which arginine-45 is replaced by glycine and asparagine are examined by photoacoustic calorimetry. An intermediate is observed whose lifetime at 20 degrees C is 700 ns. The enthalpy of the intermediate increases by approximately 7 kcal/mol upon replacing arginine-45 with either asparagine or glycine. These observations support recent proposals that an arginine-45 salt bridge is broken upon ligand dissociation. 相似文献

The dynamics of the enthalpy and volume changes related to the photo-dissociation of oxygen from human and bovine oxyhemoglobin are investigated by nanosecond time-resolved photoacoustic calorimetry (PAC). The values of enthalpy and volume change associated with the above process are deltaH = 37.8 +/- 3 kcal/mol, deltaV = 5.0 +/- 1 ml/mol for human HbO(2); and deltaH = 35.7 +/- 3.5 kcal/mol, deltaV = 4.8 +/- 1 ml/mol for bovine HbO(2), respectively. A possible explanation for the similar values between both human and bovine oxyhemoglobin is proposed. In addition, the PAC results for human HbO(2) and HbCO are compared and discussed. 相似文献

The development of a photoacoustic calorimeter with a time resolution of 10 ns is presented, and the dynamics of the enthalpy and volume changes found in the photodissociation of CO from horse carboxymyoglobin are examined. With this enhanced time resolution a new transient species, the lifetime of which is 29 ns at 20 degrees C, is observed in the ligand dissociation process. 相似文献

The focus of this study is to examine volume and enthalpy profiles of ligand binding associated with CO-Fe(II) tetrakis-(4-sulfonato phenyl)-porphyrin (COFe(II)4SP) in aqueous solution. Temperature dependent photothermal beam deflection was employed to probe the overall enthalpy and volume changes associated with CO-photolysis and recombination. The analysis demonstrates that ligand recombination occurs with a pseudo first order rate constant of (2.5+/-0.2)x10(4) s(-1) (at 25 degrees C) with a corresponding volume decrease of 6+/-1 ml/mol. The activation enthalpy (DeltaH(double dagger)) and volume (DeltaV(double dagger)) change for CO recombination (determined from temperature/pressure dependent transient absorption spectroscopy) are found to be 3.9 kcal/mol and 8.2 ml/mol, respectively. These data are consistent with a mechanism in which photolysis yields a five-coordinate high spin (H(2)O)Fe(II)4SP complex that recombines in a single step to form the low spin (CO)(H(2)O)Fe(II)4SP complex. Base elimination, often associated with CO photolysis from hemes, is not observed in this system. The overall volume changes suggest a transition state with significant high spin character. Furthermore, these results demonstrate the utility of coupling photothermal techniques with variable pressure/temperature transient absorption spectroscopy to probe heme reaction dynamics. 相似文献

Photoacoustic calorimetry and transient absorption spectroscopy were used to study conformational dynamics associated with CO photodissociation from horse heart myoglobin (Mb) reconstituted with either Fe protoporphyrin IX dimethylester (FePPDME), Fe octaethylporphyrin (FeOEP), or with native Fe protoporphyrin IX (FePPIX). The volume and enthalpy changes associated with the Fe-CO bond dissociation and formation of a transient deoxyMb intermediate for the reconstituted Mbs were found to be similar to those determined for native Mb (DeltaV1 = -2.5+/-0.6 ml mol(-1) and DeltaH1 = 8.1+/-3.0 kcal mol(-1)). The replacement of FePPIX by FeOEP significantly alters the conformational dynamics associated with CO release from protein. Ligand escape from FeOEP reconstituted Mb was determined to be roughly a factor of two faster (tau=330 ns) relative to native protein (tau=700 ns) and accompanying reaction volume and enthalpy changes were also found to be smaller (DeltaV2 = 5.4+/-2.5 ml mol(-1) and DeltaH2 = 0.7+/-2.2 kcal mol(-1)) than those for native Mb (DeltaV2 = 14.3+/-0.8 ml mol(-1) and DeltaH2 = 7.8+/-3.5 kcal mol(-1)). On the other hand, volume and enthalpy changes for CO release from FePPIX or FePPDME reconstituted Mb were nearly identical to those of the native protein. These results suggest that the hydrogen bonding network between heme propionate groups and nearby amino acid residues likely play an important role in regulating ligand diffusion through protein matrix. Disruption of this network leads to a partially open conformation of protein with less restricted ligand access to the heme binding pocket. 相似文献

The bar-headed goose, a specialized high-altitude species, has a capacity for high oxygen uptake from a hypoxic environment. It thus has a higher oxygen affinity than other bird species of lower-altitude environments. Oxygen affinity is determined by molecular structures and genetic mutations of hemoglobin (Hb), which can also influence the coordinating structures and dynamics of oxygen-Hb. To explore the structural differences in Hbs as between high and low altitude species, photolysis dynamic parameters, including quantum yield, enthalpy, and conformational volume changes in carboxy-Hbs (HbCO) for the bar-headed goose and low altitude counterparts (the Chinese goose and chicken) were investigated by the laser pumping-probing technique and photoacoustic calorimetry. Comparing the photolysis results for HbCO of the three species, the enthalpy and conformational volume changes of the bar-headed goose were much smaller than those of the others, although the quantum yields of all three species are similar. To explain the possible mechanisms of these differences, modifications of salt bridges and key residue mutations at the α β subunit interfaces of the proteins are described and discussed briefly. 相似文献

The volume and enthalpy changes associated with proton translocation steps during the bacteriorhodopsin (BR) photocycle were determined by time-resolved photopressure measurements. The data at 25 degrees C show a prompt increase in volume followed by two further increases and one decrease to the original state to complete the cycle. These volume changes are decomposed into enthalpy and inherent volume changes. The positive enthalpy changes support the argument for inherent entropy-driven late steps in the BR photocycle [Ort, D. R., and Parson, W. M. (1979) Enthalpy changes during the photochemical cycle of bacteriorhodopsin. Biophys. J. 25, 355-364]. The volume change data can be interpreted by the electrostriction effect as charges are canceled and formed during the proton transfers. A simple glutamic acid-glutamate ion model or a diglutamate-arginine-protonated water charge-delocalized model for the proton-release complex (PRC) fit the data. A conformational change with a large positive volume change is required in the slower rise (M --> N of the optical cycle) step and is reversed in the decay (N --> O --> BR) steps. The large variation in the published values for both the volume and enthalpy changes is greatly ameliorated if the values are presented per absorbed photon instead of per mole of BR. Thus, it is the highly differing assumptions about the quantum or reaction yields that cause the variations in the published results. 相似文献

We have investigated the binding of bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor (BPTI) to bovine trypsinogen by combining ultrasonic velocimetry, high precision densimetry, and fluorescence spectroscopy. We report the changes in volume, adiabatic compressibility, van't Hoff enthalpy, entropy, and free energy that accompany the association of the two proteins at 25 degrees C and pH 8.0. We have used the measured changes in volume and compressibility in conjunction with available structural data to characterize the binding-induced changes in the hydration properties and intrinsic packing of the two proteins. Our estimate reveals that 110 +/- 40 water molecules become released to the bulk from the hydration shells of BPTI and trypsinogen. Furthermore, we find that the intrinsic coefficient of adiabatic compressibility of the two proteins decreases by 14 +/- 2%, which is suggestive of the binding-induced rigidification of the proteins' interior. BPTI-trypsinogen association is an entropy-driven event which proceeds with an unfavorable change in enthalpy. The favorable change in entropy results from partial compensation between two predominant terms. Namely, a large favorable change in hydrational entropy slightly prevails over a close in magnitude but opposite in sign change in configurational entropy. The reduction in configurational entropy and, consequently, protein dynamics is consistent with the observed decrease in intrinsic compressibility. In general, results of this work emphasize the vital role that water plays in modulating protein recognition events. 相似文献

The response of the internal dynamics of calcium-saturated calmodulin to the formation of a complex with a peptide model of the calmodulin-binding domain of the smooth muscle myosin light chain kinase has been studied using NMR relaxation methods. The backbone of calmodulin is found to be unaffected by the binding of the domain, whereas the dynamics of side chains are significantly perturbed. The changes in dynamics are interpreted in terms of a heterogeneous partitioning between structure (enthalpy) and dynamics (entropy). These data provide a microscopic view of the residual entropy of a protein in two functional states and suggest extensive enthalpy/entropy exchange during the formation of a protein-protein interface. 相似文献

We have analyzed the effect of cavity-filling mutations on protein stability by means of free-energy calculations based on molecular dynamics simulations to identify the factors contributing to stability changes caused by the mutations. We have studied the DNA-binding domain of Myb, which has a cavity in one of three homologous repeat units, and analyzed a series of mutations with nonnatural and natural amino acids at a single site, which change the size of the cavity. We found that the calculated free-energy changes caused by the mutations are in excellent agreement with experimental data (correlation coefficient 0.98). The free-energy changes in the native and denatured states were independently compared with the unfolding free-energy change (deltadeltaG) and cavity-volume changes (deltaV), and it was found that deltadeltaG and deltaV correlate with the native-state free-energy changes but not with the denatured-state free-energy changes. Further analyses in terms of enthalpy and entropy show that compensation between entropy and enthalpy occurs in the denatured state but not in the native state. The main contribution to the native-state free energy was found to be van der Waals interactions associated with the cavity. We estimate that the decrease in free energy per methylene group, which results from filling the cavity, is about 2 to 3 kcal/mol. These results suggest that the stabilization of a protein by cavity-filling mutations be determined primarily by the free energy associated with the cavity volume in the native state. 相似文献

Herein, we present photoacoustic calorimetry and transient absorption studies of the dynamics and energetics associated with dissociation of a ligand from Fe(2+) dehaloperoxidase (DHP) from Amphitrite ornata. Our data show that CO photodissociation is associated with an endothermic (DeltaH = 8 +/- 3 kcal mol(-1)) volume expansion (DeltaV = 9.4 +/- 0.6 mL mol(-1)) that occurs within 50 ns upon photodissociation. No additional thermodynamics were detected on slower time scales (up to 10 micros), suggesting that the dissociated ligand rapidly escapes from the heme-binding pocket into the surrounding solvent. Similar volume and enthalpy changes were observed for CO photodissociation in the presence of the substrate, 2,4-dichlorophenol or 4-bromophenol, indicating that either the substrate does not bind in the protein distal cavity at ambient temperature or its presence does not impact the thermodynamic profile associated with ligand dissociation. We attribute a fast ligand exchange between the protein active site and the surrounding solvent to the high flexibility of the distal histidine residue, His55, that provides a direct pathway between the heme-binding pocket and the protein exterior. The dynamics and energetics of conformational changes observed for dissociation of a ligand from DHP differ significantly from those measured previously for photodissociation of CO from the structural homologue myoglobin, suggesting that structural dynamics in DHP are fine-tuned to enhance the peroxidase function of this protein. 相似文献

We have used a capacitor microphone transducer to measure volume changes in suspensions of Chromatium chromatophores 100 μs to 20 ms after flash excitation. Volume changes in photochemical reactions can arise both from volume differences between reactants and products, and from enthalpy changes which heat or cool the solution. By measuring the volume changes at two temperatures, one can resolve the total changes into their two components. 相似文献

Enthalpy and conformational volume changes in photolyses of oxy-hemoglobin (HbO(2)) of human, bovine, pig, horse and rabbit are investigated by photoacoustic calorimetry. In the experiment, a pulsed Nd:YAG laser is used as an exciting source, and a PVDF film transducer and a PZT transducer are used to detect the photoacoustic signals. Based on the time scales of the excitation and detection systems as well as the photolysis processes of HbO(2), it can be indicated that the measured enthalpy and conformational volume changes are related to slow geminate recombination and tertiary relaxation in photolyses of HbO(2), which are with the time scale of 30-40 ns and 100-150 ns, respectively. The results show that the enthalpy and conformational volume changes are different for both photolysis processes of HbO(2) and also for various mammals. The different results among the five mammals are analyzed and discussed briefly. 相似文献

We have used ultrasonic velocimetry, high-precision densimetry, and fluorescence spectroscopy, in conjunction with isothermal titration and differential scanning calorimetry, to characterize the binding of turkey ovomucoid third domain (OMTKY3) to alpha-chymotrypsin. We report the changes in volume and adiabatic compressibility that accompany the association of these proteins at 25 degrees C and pH 4.5. In addition, we report the changes in free energy, enthalpy, entropy, and heat capacity upon the binding of OMTKY3 to alpha-chymotrypsin over a temperature range of 20-40 degrees C. Our volume and compressibility data, in conjunction with X-ray crytsallographic data on the OMTKY3-alpha-chymotrypsin complex, suggest that 454(+/-22) water molecules are released to the bulk state upon the binding of OMTKY3 to alpha-chymotrypsin. Furthermore, these volumetric data suggest that the intrinsic compressibility of the two proteins decreases by 7%. At each temperature studied, OMTKY3 association with alpha-chymotrypsin is entropy driven with a large, unfavorable enthalpy contribution. The observed entropy of the binding reflects interplay between two very large favorable and unfavorable terms. The favorable term reflects an increase in the hydrational entropy resulting from release to the bulk of 454 water molecules. The unfavorable term is related to a decrease in the configurational entropy and, consequently, a decrease in the conformational dynamics of the two proteins. In general, we discuss the relationship between macroscopic and microscopic properties, in particular, identifying and quantifying the role of hydration in determining the thermodynamics of protein recognition as reflected in volumetric and calorimetric parameters. 相似文献

We focus on the various aspects of the physics related to the stability of proteins. We review the pure thermodynamic aspects of the response of a protein to pressure and temperature variations and discuss the respective stability phase diagram. We relate the experimentally observed shape of this diagram to the low degree of correlation between the fluctuations of enthalpy and volume changes associated with the folding-denaturing transition and draw attention to the fact that one order parameter is not enough to characterize the transition. We discuss in detail microscopic aspects of the various contributions to the free energy gap of proteins and put emphasis on how a cosolvent may either enlarge or diminish this gap. We review briefly the various experimental approaches to measure changes in protein stability induced by cosolvents, denaturants, but also by pressure and temperature. Finally, we discuss in detail our own molecular dynamics simulations on cytochrome c and show what happens under high pressure, how glycerol influences structure and volume fluctuations, and how all this compares with experiments. 相似文献

We have studied the photoinduced volume changes, energetics, and kinetics in the early steps of the bacteriorhodopsin (BR) photocycle with pulsed, time-resolved photoacoustics. Our data show that there are two volume changes. The fast volume change ( < or = 200 ns) is an expansion (2.5 +/- 0.3 A3/molecule) and is observed exclusively in the purple membrane (PM), vanishing in the 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)-dimethylammonio] -1-propane-sulfonate-sulfonate-solubilized BR sample; the slow change (approximately 1 micros) is a volume contraction (-3.7 +/- 0.3 A3/molecule). The fast expansion is assigned to the restructuring of the aggregated BR in the PM, and the 1-micros contraction to the change in hydrogen bonding of water at Asp 212 (Kandori et al. 1995. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 117:2118-2119). The formation of the K intermediate releases most of the absorbed energy as heat, with delta Hk = -36 +/- 8 kJ/mol. The activation energy of the K --> L step is 49 +/- 6 kJ/mol, but the enthalpy change is small, -4 +/- 10 kJ/mol. On the time scale we studied, the primary photochemical kinetics, enthalpy, and volume changes are not affected by substituting the solvent D2O for H2O. Comparing data on monomeric and aggregated BR, we conclude that the functional unit for the photocycle is the BR monomer, because both the kinetics (rate constant and activation energy) and the enthalpy changes are independent of its aggregation state. 相似文献

Abstract Equilibrium NPT molecular dynamics computer simulations have been used to determine the chemical potential, partial enthalpy and partial volume of model Ar-Kr mixtures using newly devised non-intrusive particle insertion and particle swap techniques [P. Sindzingre et al. Chemical Physics, 129 (1989) 213]. In this report we examine, for the first time, in some detail the relative convergence statistics of the particle swap and particle insertion methods for these properties for binary Lennard-Jones (LJ) mixtures. Both species are represented by single-site Lennard-Jones pair potentials with Lorentz-Berthelot rules for the cross-species interactions. We show that, over the whole phase diagram and especially in the vicinity of the fluid-solid coexistence line, the particle swap method gives significantly better statistics than the particle insertion method for the difference in chemical potential of the two species, partial enthalpy and partial volume of each species. Also, we find that, using the particle swap method, the difference in the chemical potential converges more rapidly than the differences in the partial enthalpy and volume. 相似文献
