Great Britain Electron - Paramagnetic - Resonance Studies on Cobalt ( ll ) Carbonic Anhydrase LOW - SPIN CYANIDE COMPLEXES By STEPHEN
نویسنده
چکیده
The low-spin cyanide complexes of three Co(ll) carbonic anhydrases were investigated by electron paramagnetic resonance (e.p.r.) at 9 and 35GHz. Well-defined and closely axial spectra were obtained only in the absence of oxygen. Several mole equivalents of cyanidewererequired for complete formation ofthecomplexes in frozen solution, although large excesses caused abstraction of the cobalt. Experiments with [13C]cyanide showed that the low-spin complexes contained two CNgroups in an environment similar to that ofthe in-plane ligands in [Co(CN)5s]3. A combined e.p.r. and spectrophotometric titration confirmed the presence oftwo CNligands. A 5-co-ordinate square pyramidal structure involving three protein ligands was proposed. The dicyanide complex could be oxygenated reversibly, producing a characteristic new e.p.r. spectrum. The 02 molecule was thought to occupy the remaining octahedral metal site in a formally Co(III) species. The optical spectrum of the dicyanide lacked the prominent d-d bands of the high-spin monocyanide. Both e.p.r. and optical data indicated that the low-spin complex was formed much more fully in frozen solution than at room temperature. Differences in behaviour between the highand low-activity enzymes suggested some variation in conformational flexibility at the metal binding site.

Sulphonamide adducts of three Co(II) carbonic anhydrases were investigated by e.p.r. (electron paramagnetic resonance) at helium temperatures. The highly anisotropic9GHz spectra exhibited only three distinct features, with g values between 6.3 and 1.5. Such spectra arise from an electronic state with effective spin S' = i, indicating that the highspin (S= 2) ground level is split into two spin ...
متن کاملElectron spin resonance of metallocarbonic anhydrases.
Electron spin resonance (ESR) spectra of Cu(I1) and Co(II) derivatives of human, monkey, and bovine carbonic anhydrases and their anion complexes are reported. The ESR signals of most of the Cu(I1) derivatives indicate a coordination geometry with axial symmetry. Copper carbonic anhydrase complexes appear to have one coordination site filled by a monodentate ligand from solution. This ligand ca...
متن کاملMechanism of polyethylene glycol interaction with the molten globule folding intermediate of bovine carbonic anhydrase B.
Polyethylene glycol has been shown to bind to the molten globule intermediate on the bovine carbonic anhydrase B folding pathway. The mechanism of this interaction has been extensively probed. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) binds weakly to the molten globule first intermediate as measured by hydrophobic interaction chromatography, but PEG does not bind to either the native state or the second interm...
متن کاملElectron spin resonance studies of carbonic anhydrase: transition metal ions and spin-labeled sulfonamides.
Electron spin resonance (esr) spectra of Cu(II) and Co(II) carbonic anhydrase, and a spin-labeled sulfonamide complex of the Zn(II) enzyme, are reported. The coordination geometry of Cu(II) bound in the enzyme appears to have approximately axial symmetry. Esr spectra of enzyme complexes with metal-binding anions also show axial symmetry and greater covalency, in the order ethoxzolamide < SH(-) ...
متن کاملHigh spin and low spin forms of Co(II) carbonic anhydrase. Temperature-dependent changes in spin state and coordination geometry.
Electron spin resonance (ESR) and absorption spectral studies are described which demonstrate two types of cyanide complex of Co(I1) human carbonic anhydrase B. High spin (S = 3/2) Co(I1) is present at the active site of the cobalt enzyme in the presence of both 1 and 2 eq of CN-’ at room temperature. At liquid nitrogen temperature the 1: 1 complex remains high spin, while the enzyme in the pre...
