A Proton ENDOR Study of Azurin
نویسندگان
چکیده
As part of our ongoing project that aims at the optimum characterization of the electronic structure of the blue-copper site of azurin from Pseudomonas aeruginosa, we present the complete hyperfine tensors of the protons bound to the Cbeta atom of the copper-bound cysteine 112. These tensors have been obtained from a 95 GHz pulsed electron-nuclear double resonance study of a single crystal of the protein.

C - and Proton - ENDOR Studies of 13 C - labelled Organic Radicals
As part of a systematic non-proton ENDOR-in-solution study results are reported for 13C in several isotopically enriched model compounds. Methods for synthesizing these labelled compounds are also presented. The optimum 13C ENDOR temperatures are found to be considerably higher than for protons on account of the larger hyperfine anisotropy. Cross relaxation effects are used to determine rotatio...
متن کامل1H NMR studies of electron exchange rate of Pseudomonas aeruginosa azurin.
T1 values of the His-35 C-2 proton resonance of reduced Pseudomonas aeruginosa azurin were determined at 25 degrees C and pH values 4.5, 7.3, and 9.0 in the presence of different fractional amounts of oxidized azurin. The C-2 proton of His-35 undergoes very rapid spin relaxation in oxidized azurin because of its close proximity to the paramagnetic copper. In the presence of oxidized protein, th...
متن کاملMo(V) co-ordination in the periplasmic nitrate reductase from Paracoccus pantotrophus probed by electron nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) spectroscopy.
The first electron nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) study of a member of the Mo-bis-molybdopterin guanine dinucleotide family of molybdoenzymes is presented, using the periplasmic nitrate reductase from Paracoccus pantotrophus. Rapid freeze-quenched time-resolved EPR revealed that during turnover the intensity of a Mo(V) EPR signal known as High-g [resting] increases. This signal is split by tw...
متن کاملProton-Electron Hyperfine Coupling Constants of the Chlorophyll a Cation Radical by ENDOR Spectroscopy
In this paper we describe the assignment of the major coupling constants in monomer chlorophyll a cation free radical by ENDOR spectroscopy. To facilitate chemical manipulation methylpyrochlorophyllide a has been used as a stand-in, and a suite of six selectively deuterated derivatives have been subjected to ENDOR investigation. Details of the synthesis of these compounds are described. To stud...
متن کاملEPR/ENDOR and Computational Study of Outer Sphere Interactions in Copper Complexes of Phenolic Oximes.
Copper complexes of the phenolic oxime family of ligands (3-X-salicylaldoximes) are used extensively as metal solvent extractants. Incorporation of electronegative substituents in the 3-position, ortho to the phenol group, can be used to buttress the interligand H-bonding, leading to an enhancement in extractant strength. However, investigation of the relevant H-bonding in these complexes can b...
