Phenolic hydroxyl ionization in papain.
Various properties of crystalline papain have been under investigation in this laboratory for several years in attempts to understand the specificity, mode of action, and other aspects of the behavior of this enzyme (1). Inasmuch as papain must be in its native state to retain its enzymic activity, a knowledge of the role of the amino acid side chains in maintaining conformation is essential. T...
متن کاملNanoscale hydroxyl radical generation from multiphoton ionization of tryptophan.
Exposure of solutions containing both tryptophan and hydrogen peroxide to a pulsed ( approximately 180 fs) laser beam at 750 nm induces luminescence characteristic of 5-hydroxytryptophan. The results indicate that 3-photon excitation of tryptophan results in photoionization within the focal volume of the laser beam. The resulting hydrated electron is scavenged by hydrogen peroxide to produce th...
متن کاملUnusual method for phenolic hydroxyl bridged lanthanide CPs: syntheses, characterization, one and two photon luminescence.
A "basophilic method" for phenolic hydroxyl bridged lanthanide coordination polymers (CPs) was developed. With this method, eleven CPs with the general formula of [Ln(HL1)L1·H(2)O](n) (Ln = Tb (1), Nd (2), Eu (3), Gd (4), La (5), Er (6), Y (7), H(2)L1 = 4-methyl salicylic acid) and [Ln(HL2)L2·2MeOH](n) (Ln = Eu (8), Tb (9), Gd (10), La (11), H(2)L2 = 3-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid) were synthesized...
متن کاملChiral ruthenium(II) complexes with phenolic hydroxyl groups as dual poisons of topoisomerases I and IIα.
A series of novel chiral ruthenium(II) complexes with phenolic hydroxyl groups were synthesized and characterized. These ruthenium(II) complexes exhibited strong dual inhibition of topoisomerases I and IIα, with approximate IC50 values of 3-15 mM, which were more efficient than the widely clinically used single TopoI poison camptothecin (CPT) or TopoIIα poison etoposide (VP-16). Δ-1 and Λ-1 wit...
متن کاملCrystalline Papain.
In an earlier study (1) of the amino acid composition of papain, it was assumed that all of the sulfur could be attributed to cysteine and cystine since methionine is absent from this protein. However, because of the sulfhydryl nature of this enzyme, the content of these amino acids is of some importance; we have used the method of Schram, Moore, and Bigwood (2) for this estimation. The results...
