cis-Pt(NH(3))(2)Cl(2) (cisplatin) is an antitumor drug with many severe toxic side effects including enzymatic changes associated with its mechanism of action. This study was designed to examine the interaction of cisplatin drug with the Na(+), K(+)-dependent adenosine triphosphatase (Na,K-ATPase) in H(2)O and D(2)O solutions at physiological pH, using drug concentrations of 0.1 microM to 1 mM. UV absorption spectra and Fourier transform infrared difference spectroscopy with its self-deconvolution, second derivative resolution enhancement and curve-fitting procedures were applied to characterize the drug binding mode, the drug binding constant and the protein secondary structure in the cisplatin-ATPase complexes. Spectroscopic evidence showed that at low drug concentration (0.1 microM), cisplatin binds mainly to the lipid portion of the enzyme, whereas at higher drug contents, the Pt cation interaction is through the polypeptide C==O and C-N groups with overall binding constant of K=1.93 x 10(4) M(-1). At high cisplatin concentration (1 mM), drug binding results in protein secondary structural changes from that of the alpha-helix 19.8%; beta-pleated 25.6%; turn 9.1%; beta-antiparallel 7.5% and random 38%, in the free Na,K-ATPase to that of the alpha-helix 22.2%; beta-pleated 23.2%; turn 9.4%; beta-antiparallel 2.2% and random 43%, in the cis-Pt-ATPase complexes. 相似文献

In oligomeric P2-ATPases such as Na,K- and H,K-ATPases, beta subunits play a fundamental role in the structural and functional maturation of the catalytic alpha subunit. In the present study we performed a tryptophan scanning analysis on the transmembrane alpha-helix of the Na,K-ATPase beta1 subunit to investigate its role in the stabilization of the alpha subunit, the endoplasmic reticulum exit of alpha-beta complexes, and the acquisition of functional properties of the Na,K-ATPase. Single or multiple tryptophan substitutions in the beta subunits transmembrane domain had no significant effect on the structural maturation of alpha subunits expressed in Xenopus oocytes nor on the level of expression of functional Na,K pumps at the cell surface. Furthermore, tryptophan substitutions in regions of the transmembrane alpha-helix containing two GXXXG transmembrane helix interaction motifs or a cysteine residue, which can be cross-linked to transmembrane helix M8 of the alpha subunit, had no effect on the apparent K(+) affinity of Na,K-ATPase. On the other hand, substitutions by tryptophan, serine, alanine, or cysteine, but not by phenylalanine of two highly conserved tyrosine residues, Tyr(40) and Tyr(44), on another face of the transmembrane helix, perturb the transport kinetics of Na,K pumps in an additive way. These results indicate that at least two faces of the beta subunits transmembrane helix contribute to inter- or intrasubunit interactions and that two tyrosine residues aligned in the beta subunits transmembrane alpha-helix are determinants of intrinsic transport characteristics of Na,K-ATPase. 相似文献

Some of vanadyl complexes have shown potential to inhibit RNase activity by acting as transition state analogue, while at the same time not inhibiting DNase. To gain an insight into the interaction of protein with vanadate (VO3-) and vanadyl (VO2+) ions, the present study was designed to examine the binding of ribonuclase A (RNase A) with NaVO3 and VOSO4 in aqueous solution at physiological pH with metal ion concentrations of 0.001 mM to 1 mM, and protein concentration of 2% w/v. Absorption spectra and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy with self-deconvolution and second derivative resolution enhancement were used to determine the cation binding mode, association constant and the protein secondary structure in the presence of vanadate and vanadyl ions in aqueous solution. Spectroscopic results show that an indirect metal ion interaction occurs with the polypeptide C = O, C-N (via H2O) with overall binding constants of K(VO3-) = 3.93x10(2) M(-1) and K(VO2+) = 4.20x10(3) M(-1). At high metal ion concentrations, major protein secondary structural changes occur from that of the alpha-helix 29% (free enzyme) to 23-24%; beta-sheet (pleated and anti) 50% (free enzyme) to 64-66% and turn 21% (free enzyme) to 10-12% in the metal-RNase complexes. The observed structural changes indicate a partial protein unfolding in the presence of high metal ion concentration. 相似文献

Infrared spectroscopy in the amide I region of purified membrane-bound Na,K-ATPase preparation shows that Na+- and K+-bound forms of the enzyme have almost the same secondary structure. No difference is detected in the beta-structure (pleated sheets) content. This is contrary to the statement of the recent paper (Gresalfi, T. J., and Wallace, B. A. (1984) J. Biol. Chem. 259, 2622-2628) where a similar preparation was examined by circular dichroism spectroscopy and it was claimed that net 7% of protein peptide groups undergo a beta-sheet to alpha-helix conformational change upon Na,K-ATPase conversion from the K+ to the Na+ form. The discrepancy of the results is most likely caused by the particulate nature of the enzyme preparations used that could lead to optical artifacts in CD but not in IR measurements. A thorough comparison of IR spectra of these enzyme forms has revealed a very minor spectral difference which could suggest conformational perturbations, if any, of a much lower scale and another type than that claimed by Gresalfi and Wallace. The K+ form tends to absorb slightly more in the region of the alpha-helix band. This could reflect some distortion or a transition to a random coil structure of a small fraction of alpha-helical segments (less than or equal to 2% protein peptide groups) upon the enzyme conversion from the K+ to the Na+ form. 相似文献

Alanine substitutions were made for 15 amino acids in the cytoplasmic loop between transmembrane helices 6 and 7 (L6/7) of the human alpha(1)-subunit of Na,K-ATPase. Most mutations reduced Na,K-ATPase activity by less than 50%; however, the mutations R834A, R837A, and R848A reduced Na,K-ATPase activity by 75, 89, and 66%, respectively. Steady-state phosphoenzyme formation from ATP was reduced in mutants R834A, R837A, and R848A, and R837A also had a faster E(2)P --> E(2) dephosphorylation rate compared with the wild-type enzyme. Effects of L6/7 mutations on the phosphorylation domain of the protein were also demonstrated by (18)O exchange, which showed that intrinsic rate constants for P(i) binding and/or reaction with the protein were altered. Although most L6/7 mutations had no effect on the interaction of Na(+) or K(+) with Na,K-ATPase, the E825A, E828A, R834A, and R837A mutations reduced the apparent affinity of the enzyme for both Na(+) and K(+) by 1.5-3-fold. 1-Bromo-2,4,6-tris(methylisothiouronium)benzene (Br-TITU(3+)), a competitive antagonist of Rb(+) and Na(+) occlusion, was used to test whether charged residues in L6/7 are involved in binding monovalent cations and cation antagonists. Br-TITU(3+) inhibited ouabain binding to wild type Na,K-ATPase with an IC(50) of 30 microM. Ouabain binding to the E825A, E828A, R834A, or R837A mutants was still inhibited by Br-TITU(3+), indicating that Br-TITU(3+) does not bind to charged residues in L6/7. This observation makes it unlikely that L6/7 functions as a cytoplasmic cation binding site in Na,K-ATPase, and together with the effects of L6/7 mutations on phosphate interactions with the enzyme suggests that L6/7 is important in stabilizing the phosphorylation domain and its relationship to the ion binding sites of the protein. 相似文献

The Na(+),K(+)-ATPase is an integral membrane protein which transports sodium and potassium cations against an electrochemical gradient. The transport of Na(+) and K(+) ions is presumably connected to an oscillation of the enzyme between the two conformational states, the E(1) (Na(+)) and the E(2) (K(+)) conformations. The E(1) and E(2) states have different affinities for ligand interaction. However, the determination of the secondary structure of this enzyme in its sodium and potassium forms has been the subject of much controversy. This study was designed to provide a quantitative analysis of the secondary structure of the Na(+),K(+)-ATPase in its sodium (E(1)) and potassium (E(2)) states in both H(2)O and D(2)O solutions at physiological pH, using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) with its self-deconvolution and second derivative resolution enhancement methods, as well as curve-fitting procedures. Spectroscopic analysis showed that the secondary structure of the sodium salt of the Na(+),K(+)-ATPase in H(2)O solution contains alpha-helix 19.8+/-1%, beta-sheet 25.6+/-1%, turn 9.1+/-1%, and beta-anti 7.5+/-1%, whereas in D(2)O solution, the enzyme shows alpha-helix 16.8+/-1%, beta-sheet 24.5+/-1.5%, turn 10.9+/-1%, beta-anti 9.8+/-1%, and random coil 38.0+/-2%. Similarly, the potassium salt in H(2)O solution contains alpha-helix 16.6+/-1%, beta-sheet 26.4+/-1.5%, turn 8.9+/-1%, and beta-anti 8.1+/-1%, while in D(2)O solution it shows alpha-helix 16.2+/-1%, beta-sheet 24.5+/-1.5%, turn 10.3+/-1%, beta-anti 9.0+/-1%, and random coil 40+/-2%. Thus the main differences for the sodium and potassium forms of the Na(+),K(+)-ATPase are alpha-helix 3.2% in H(2)O and 0.6% in D(2)O, beta-sheet (pleated and anti) 1.5% in H(2)O and random structure 2% (D(2)O), while for other minor components (turn structure), the differences are less than 1%. 相似文献

Apolipoprotein B-100, the major protein constituent of human plasma low-density lipoproteins (LDL), was carboxyamidomethylated, digested with trypsin and the water-soluble tryptic peptides were coincubated with liposomes of dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC). At 24.3 degrees C the peptides induced lipid solubilization as evidenced by optical clearing of the lipid-peptide mixture. Lipid-peptide complexes were isolated by density-gradient ultracentrifugation in KBr and had the following properties: DMPC/peptide ratio of 5.6 (w/w); buoyant density of 1.07-1.09 g/ml; discoidal morphology (51 +/- 4 X 260 +/- 28 A) as determined by electron microscopy; and molecular weight of 1.5 X 10(6) as determined by nondenaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Compared to liposomes and sonicated vesicles of DMPC, the lipid-peptide complexes had a more rigid structure as assessed by fluorescence polarization. Whereas intact LDL had 42% alpha-helix and 15% beta-pleated sheet, the lipid-peptide complexes contained 70% alpha-helix and less than 5% beta-pleated sheet. The lipid-peptide complexes did not bind to the fibroblast high-affinity LDL receptor. These results show that specific regions in apolipoprotein B-100 which interact with phospholipid have an amphipathic character and may represent primary sites for lipid-protein interaction in LDL. 相似文献

We report different analytical methods used to study the effects of 3\'-azido-3\'-deoxythymidine, aspirin, taxol, cisplatin, atrazine, 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic, biogenic polyamines, chlorophyll, chlorophyllin, poly(ethylene glycol), vanadyl cation, vanadate anion, cobalt-hexamine cation, and As2O3, on the stability and secondary structure of human serum albumin (HSA) in aqueous solution, using capillary electrophoresis, Fourier transform infrared, ultraviolet visible, and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopic methods. The concentrations of HSA used were 4% to 2% or 0.6 to 0.3 mM, while different ligand concentrations were 1 microM to 1 mM. Structural data showed drugs are mostly located along the polypeptide chains with both specific and nonspecific interactions. The stability of drug-protein complexes were in the order K(VO(2+)) 1.2 x 10(8) M(-1) > K(AZT) 1.9 x 10(6) M(-)1 > K(PEG) 4.1 x 10(5) M(-1) > K(atrazine) 3.5 x 10(4) M(-1) > K(chlorophyll) 2.9 x 10(4) M(-1) > K2,4-D 2.5 x 10(4) M-1 > K(spermine) 1.7 x 10(4) M(-1) > K(taxol) 1.43 x 10(4) M(-1) > K(Co(3+)) > 1.1 x 10(4) M(-1) > K(aspirin) 1.04 x 10(4)i(-1) > K(chlorophyllin) 7.0 x 10(3) M(-1) > K(VO(3)(-)) 6.0 x 103 M(-1) > K(spermidine) 5.4 x 10(3) M(-1) > K(putrescine) 3.9 x 10(3) M(-1) > K(As(2)O(3)) 2.2 x 10(3) M(-1)> K(cisplatin) 1.2 x 10(2) M(-1). The protein conformation was altered (infrared and CD results) with major reduction of alpha-helix from 60 to 55% (free HSA) to 49 to 40% and increase of beta-structure from 22 to 15% (free HSA) to 33 to 23% in the drug-protein complexes. The alterations of protein secondary structure are attributed to a partial unfolding of HSA on drug complexation. 相似文献

The effect of pressure on the conformational structure of amyloid beta (1-40) peptide (A beta(1-40)), exacerbated with or without temperature, was determined by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) microspectroscopy. The result indicates the shift of the maximum peak of amide I band of intact solid A beta(1-40) from 1655 cm(-1) (alpha-helix) to 1647-1643 cm(-1) (random coil) with the increase of the mechanical pressure. A new peak at 1634 cm(-1) assigned to beta-antiparallel sheet structure was also evident. Furthermore, the peak at 1540 cm(- 1) also shifted to 1527 (1529) cm(-1) in amide II band. The former was assigned to the combination of alpha-helix and random coil structures, and the latter was due to beta-sheet structure. Changes in the composition of each component in the deconvoluted and curve-fitted amide I band of the compressed A beta(1-40) samples were obtained from 33% to 22% for alpha-helix/random coil structures and from 47% to 57% for beta-sheet structure with the increase of pressure, respectively. This demonstrates that pressure might induce the conformational transition from alpha-helix to random coil and to beta- sheet structure. The structural transformation of the compressed A beta(1-40) samples was synergistically influenced by the combined effects of pressure and temperature. The thermal-induced formation of beta-sheet structure was significantly dependent on the pressures applied. The smaller the pressure applied the faster the beta-sheet structure transformed. The thermal-dependent transition temperatures of solid A beta(1-40) prepared by different pressures were near 55-60 degrees C. 相似文献

Hesperetin (5,7,3'-trihydroxyl-4'-methoxyl-flavanone) is an important bioactive compound in Chinese traditional medicine and has multiple biological and pharmacological activities. The interaction of hesperetin with human serum albumin (HSA) has been investigated by UV absorption, fluorescence and Fourier transformed infrared spectrometry. Fluorescence results showed that one molecule of protein combined with one molecule of drug at the molar ratio of drug to HSA ranging from 0.3 to 7 and the binding affinity (K(A)) was 8.11x10(4) M(-1). The primary binding site was most likely located on subdomain IIA. The binding ability of the drug to protein decreased from pH 6.4 to 8.4 in the drug to protein molar ratio of 1. Combining the curve-fitting results of infrared amide I band in D2O and H2O phosphate buffers, the alterations of protein secondary structure after drug complexation were estimated. With increasing the drug concentration, the percentage of protein alpha-helix structure decreased gradually. The reduction of protein alpha-helix structure reached about 7-9% after the protein interacted with hesperetin in D2O and H2O buffer solution at pH 7.4 when the drug to protein molar ratio was 10. This indicated a partial unfolding of HSA in the presence of the drug. From the results of UV absorption, fluorescence and Fourier transformed infrared spectrometry, the binding mode was discussed. The main mechanism of protein fluorescence quenching was a static quenching process and the hydroxyl groups of the drug in its neutral part played an important role in the binding process. 相似文献

Molecular structure of tetanus neurotoxin as revealed by Fourier transform infrared and circular dichroic spectroscopy 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Secondary structure contents of tetanus neurotoxin have been estimated at neutral and acidic pH using circular dichroism (CD) and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. An analysis of the far-ultraviolet CD spectra of the neurotoxin dissolved in 50 mM citrate-phosphate buffer (pH 7.0) revealed 20.0 +/- 2.1% alpha-helix, 50.5 +/- 2.1% beta-pleated sheets, no beta-turns, and 29.5% random coils, which is at considerable variance with results from an earlier detailed study of tetanus neurotoxin's secondary structures (J.P. Robinson, L.A. Holladay, J.H. Hash and D. Puett, J. Biol. Chem. 257 (1982) 407). However, the alpha-helix content estimated in this study is consistent with the earlier studies of Robinson et al. (J.P. Robinson, L.A. Holladay, J.B. Picklesimer and D. Puett, Mol. Cell. Biochem. 5 (1974) 147; J.P. Robinson, J.B. Picklesimer and D. Puett, J. Biol. Chem. 250 (1975) 7435) and with the study by Lazarovici et al. (P. Lazarovici, P. Yanai and E. Yavin, J. Biol. Chem. 262 (1986) 2645), although other secondary structural features do not agree with those of the previous studies. Secondary structure estimation from Fourier transform infrared spectra in both amide I and amide III frequency regions revealed 22-23% alpha-helix, 49-51% beta-pleated sheets and 27-28% random coils, indicating a good correlation with the secondary structure content estimated from CD analysis. Lowering of the pH of the neurotoxin to 5.5 or 4.0 did not result in any noticeable change in the overall secondary structures. However, there were significant pH-induced variations observed in the individual curve-fitted FT-IR bands in the amide III frequency region. For example, the 1302 cm-1 band (relative area, 4.2%) observed at pH 7.0 was shifted to 1297 cm-1 (relative area, 2.2%) at pH 5.5, and the relative area of the band at 1316-1317 cm-1 (alpha-helix) increased by approx. 40%. This study suggests that contrary to earlier reports, tetanus neurotoxin is a beta-pleated sheet dominated structure, and although lower pH does not change the overall contents of the secondary structures, significant conformational alterations are observed. 相似文献

cis-Pt(NH3)2Cl2 (cisplatin) is an antitumor drug with many severe toxic side effects including enzymatic structural changes associated with its mechanism of action. This study is designed to examine the interaction of cisplatin drug with ribonuclease A (RNase A) in aqueous solution at physiological pH, using drug concentration of 0.0001 mM to 0.1 mM with final protein concentration of 2% w/v. Absorption spectra and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy with its self-deconvolution, second derivative resolution enhancement and curve-fitting procedures were used to characterize the drug binding mode, association constant and the protein secondary structure in the cisplatin-RNase complexes. Spectroscopic results show that at low drug concentration (0.0001 mM), no interaction occurs between cisplatin and RNase, while at higher drug concentrations, cisplatin binds indirectly to the polypeptide C=O, C-N (via H2O or NH3 group) and directly to the S-H donor atom with overall binding constant 5.66 x 10(3)M(-1). At high drug concentration, major protein secondary structural changes occur from that of the alpha-helix 29% (free enzyme) to 20% and beta-sheet 39% (free enzyme) to 45% in the cisplatin-RNase complexes. The observed structural changes indicate a partial protein unfolding in the presence of cisplatin at high drug concentration. 相似文献

Role of the transmembrane domain of FXYD7 in structural and functional interactions with Na,K-ATPase
Li C Crambert G Thuillard D Roy S Schaer D Geering K 《The Journal of biological chemistry》2005,280(52):42738-42743
Members of the FXYD family are tissue-specific regulators of the Na,K-ATPase. Here, we have investigated the contribution of amino acids in the transmembrane (TM) domain of FXYD7 to the interaction with Na,K-ATPase. Twenty amino acids of the TM domain were replaced individually by tryptophan, and combined mutations and alanine insertion mutants were constructed. Wild type and mutant FXYD7 were expressed in Xenopus oocytes with Na,K-ATPase. Mutational effects on the stable association with Na,K-ATPase and on the functional regulation of Na,K-ATPase were determined by co-immunoprecipitation and two-electrode voltage clamp techniques, respectively. Most residues important for the structural and functional interaction of FXYD7 are clustered in a face of the TM helix containing the two conserved glycine residues, but others are scattered over two-thirds of the FXYD TM helix. Ile-35, Ile-43, and Ile-44 are only involved in the stable association with Na,K-ATPase. Glu-26, Met-30, and Ile-44 are important for the functional effect and/or the efficient association of FXYD7 with Na,K-ATPase, consistent with the prediction that these amino acids contact TM domain 9 of the alpha subunit (Li, C., Grosdidier, A., Crambert, G., Horisberger, J.-D., Michielin, O., and Geering, K. (2004) J. Biol. Chem. 279, 38895-38902). Several amino acids that are not implicated in the efficient association of FXYD7 with the Na,K-ATPase are specifically involved in the functional effect of FXYD7. Leu-32 and Phe-37 influence the apparent affinity for external K+, whereas Val-28 and Ile-42 are implicated in the apparent affinity for both external K+ and external Na+. These amino acids act in a synergistic way. These results highlight the important structural and functional role of the TM domain of FXYD7 and delineate the determinants that mediate the complex interactions of FXYD7 with Na,K-ATPase. 相似文献

In the gills of rainbow trout and Atlantic salmon, the alpha1a- and alpha1b-isoforms of Na,K-ATPase are expressed reciprocally during salt acclimation. The alpha1a-isoform is important for Na(+) uptake in freshwater, but the molecular basis for the functional differences between the two isoforms is not known. Here, three amino acid substitutions are identified in transmembrane segment 5 (TM5), TM8 and TM9 of the alpha1a-isoform compared to the alpha1b-isoform, and the functional consequences are examined by mutagenesis and molecular modeling on the crystal structures of Ca-ATPase or porcine kidney Na,K-ATPase. In TM5 of the alpha1a-isoform, a lysine substitution, Asn783 --> Lys, inserts the epsilon-amino group in cation site 1 in the E(1) form to reduce the Na(+)/ATP ratio. In the E(2) form the epsilon-amino group approaches cation site 2 to force ejection of Na(+) to the blood phase and to interfere with binding of K(+). In TM8, a Asp933 --> Val substitution further reduces K(+) binding, while a Glu961 --> Ser substitution in TM9 can prevent interaction of FXYD peptides with TM9 and alter Na(+) or K(+) affinities. Together, the three substitutions in the alpha1a-isoform of Na,K-ATPase act to promote binding of Na(+) over K(+) from the cytoplasm, to reduce the Na(+)/ATP ratio and the work done in one Na,K pump cycle of active Na(+) transport against the steep gradient from freshwater (10-100 microM: Na(+)) to blood (160 mM: Na(+)) and to inhibit binding of K(+) to allow Na(+)/H(+) rather than Na(+)/K(+) exchange. 相似文献

In our previous studies, we have demonstrated that the Src-coupled α1 Na/K-ATPase works as a receptor for cardiotonic steroids, such as ouabain, to regulate cellular protein kinase cascades. Here, we explore further the structural determinants of the interaction between the α1 Na/K-ATPase and Src and demonstrate that the Src-coupled α1 Na/K-ATPase allows the cell to decode the transmembrane transport activity of the Na/K-ATPase to turn on/off protein kinases. The α1 Na/K-ATPase undergoes E1/E2 conformational transition during an ion pumping cycle. The amount of E1 and E2 Na/K-ATPase is regulated by extracellular K(+) and intracellular Na(+). Using purified enzyme preparations we find that the E1 Na/K-ATPase can bind both the Src SH2 and kinase domains simultaneously and keep Src in an inactive state. Conversely, the E1 to E2 transition releases the kinase domain and activates the associated Src. Moreover, we demonstrate that changes in E1/E2 Na/K-ATPase by either Na(+) or K(+) are capable of regulating Src and Src effectors in live cells. Together, the data suggest that the Src-coupled α1 Na/K-ATPase may act as a Na(+)/K(+) receptor, allowing salt to regulate cellular function through Src and Src effectors. 相似文献

Interaction of taxol with human serum albumin 总被引:16,自引:0,他引:16
Taxol (paclitaxel) is an anticancer drug, which interacts with microtuble proteins, in a manner that catalyzes their formation from tubulin and stabilizes the resulting structures (Nogales et al., Nature 375 (1995) 424-427). This study was designed to examine the interaction of taxol with human serum albumin (HSA) in aqueous solution at physiological pH with drug concentrations of 0.0001-0.1 mM, and HSA (fatty acid free) concentration of 2% w/v. Gel electrophoresis, absorption spectra and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy with self-deconvolution and second-derivative resolution enhancement were used to determine the drug binding mode, binding constant and the protein secondary structure in the presence of taxol in aqueous solution. Spectroscopic evidence showed that taxol-protein interaction results into two types of drug-HSA complexes with overall binding constant of K=1.43 x 10(4) M(-1). The molar ratios of complexes were of taxol/HSA 30/1 (30 mM taxol) and 90/1 (90 mM taxol) with the complex ratios of 1.9 and 3.4 drug molecules per HSA molecule, respectively. The taxol binding results in major protein secondary structural changes from that of the alpha-helix 55 to 45% and beta-sheet 22 to 26%, beta-anti 12 to 15% and turn 11 to 16%, in the taxol-HSA complexes. The observed spectral changes indicate a partial unfolding of the protein structure, in the presence of taxol in aqueous solution. 相似文献
