Observation of cysteine thiolate and -S...H-O intermolecular hydrogen bond.

چکیده
The cysteine anion was produced in the gas phase by electrospray ionization and investigated by photoelectron spectroscopy at low temperature (70 K). The cysteine anion was found to exhibit the thiolate form [-SCH2CH(NH2)CO2H], rather than the expected carboxylate form [HSCH2CH(NH2)CO2-]. This observation was confirmed by two control experiments, that is, methyl cysteine [CH3SCH2CH(NH2)CO2-] and cysteine methyl ester [-SCH2CH(NH2)CO2CH3]. The electron binding energy of [-SCH2CH(NH2)CO2H] was measured to be about 0.7 eV blue-shifted relative to [-SCH2CH(NH2)CO2CH3] due to the formation of an intramolecular -S-...HO2C- hydrogen bond in the cysteine thiolate. Theoretical calculations at the CCSD(T)/6-311++G(2df,p) and B3LYP/6-311++G(2df,p) levels were carried out to estimate the strength of this intramolecular -S-...HO2C- hydrogen bond. Combining experimental measurements and theoretical calculations yielded an estimated value of 16.4 +/- 2.0 kcal/mol for the -S-...HO2C- intramolecular hydrogen-bond strength.

متن کاملSignificantly shorter Fe-S bond in cytochrome P450-I is consistent with greater reactivity relative to chloroperoxidase
Cytochrome P450 (P450) and chloroperoxidase (CPO) are thiolate-ligated haem proteins that catalyse the activation of carbon hydrogen bonds. The principal intermediate in these reactions is a ferryl radical species called compound I. P450 compound I (P450-I) is significantly more reactive than CPO-I, which only cleaves activated C-H bonds. To provide insight into the differing reactivities of th...

متن کاملInvestigation of Substituent Effects on the Strength of Hydrogen Bond in the Guanine: Cytosine Base Pairs: A Theoretical Study
In the present work, the substituent effect on the strength of H-bonds in the guanine – cytosine base pair was studied when the substituents are connected to the guanine base through a phenyl ring. In this study, guanine was substituted in the H8 and H9 positions by electron donating (ED) and electron withdrawing (EW) groups mediated by a phenyl ring in the gas phase. The calculations were perf...
متن کاملCrystallographic rationalization of the reactivity and spectroscopic properties of (2R)-S-(2,5-dihydroxyphenyl)cysteine.
At 150 K, the title compound, C(9)H(11)NO(4)S, crystallizes in the orthorhombic form as a zwitterion and has a low gauche conformation [chi = -46.23 (16) degrees] for an acyclic cysteine derivative. A difference in bond length is observed for the alkyl C-S bond [1.8299 (15) A] and the aryl C-S bond [1.7760 (15) A]. The -NH(3)(+) group is involved in four hydrogen bonds, two of which are intermo...
