单铁氢化酶五配位模型化合物的合成、表征及催化反应性

氢化酶仿生化学是当前有机金属化学领域研究的前沿课题,其主要内容为针对氢化酶的活性中心结构和功能进行化学模拟研究.自然界中已经发现的氢化酶有三种,其中[NiFe]氢化酶、[FeFe]氢化酶研究较多.单铁氢化酶发现于1990年,是产甲烷杆菌在厌氧和镍缺乏的条件下合成的.区别于其他两种氢化酶,其活性中心不含Fe-S簇,且仅含有一个Fe原子,并且仅能在底物存在的情况下,催化异裂氢分子并选择性还原特定底物,为产甲烷杆菌代谢提供能量.研究单铁氢化酶的结构和功能,模拟其活化氢、利用氢的过程,对于探索清洁能源的利用和开发新的非贵金属催化剂具有重要意义.本文以单铁氢化酶(Hmd)结构和功能模拟为导向,针对单铁氢化酶一级配位结构,设计合成了两个新模型化合物.通过IR, NMR, X射线单晶衍射等手段表征分析了模型化合物的性质并确认其结构.探索了其质子化反应特性、电催化还原质子制氢的特性.为了进一步模拟Hmd催化裂解氢气、完成氢转移的功能,以所合成模型物为催化剂实现了在常温常压下,以乙醇作为质子源的催化转移氢化过程.新单铁模型配合物Fe(CO)2PR3(NN)(R = Cy (3), Ph (4), NN,邻苯二胺二价阴离子配体)由NN二齿配体与前体化合物Fe(CO)3I2PR3进行配体取代反应合成.模型化合物活性中心为一个二价铁原子,拥有两个处于cis-位置的羰基配体,一个邻苯二胺双齿配体(两个氮原子进行配位)以及一个有机膦配体.通过红外光谱表征所合成的具有不饱和五配位结构化合物的光谱性质,可以得到配合物Fe(CO)2PCy3(NN)的羰基红外特征谱峰为1974,1919 cm–1,配合物Fe(CO)2PPh3(NN)的红外特征谱峰在1985和1929 cm–1处.通过单晶X射线衍射表征确认了两个化合物结构,并获取晶体学数据.经研究发现, Fe(CO)2PR3(NN)能够发生酸碱调控下可逆的质子化/脱质子化过程.基于红外光谱和密度泛函理论计算推断邻苯二胺阴离子配体可以作为内部碱基.在酸性条件下, Fe(CO)2PR3(NN)分子内部碱基氮原子通过质子化反应结合一个质子,生成Fe(CO)2PR3(NN)·H+.加入碱之后,重新生成起始化合物Fe(CO)2PR3(NN).表明N原子作为内部碱基,具有结合和转移质子的能力.该性质与Hmd中半胱氨酸硫配体具有一致性.通过循环伏安曲线研究了配合物Fe(CO)2PCy3(NN)和Fe(CO)2PPh3(NN)的电化学性质.其中配合物Fe(CO)2PCy3(NN)和Fe(CO)2PPh3(NN)均具有两个不可逆的还原峰和氧化峰.在电化学制氢研究中,配合物Fe(CO)2PPh3(NN)的还原峰电流随着乙酸的加入增幅较大,展现出较强的催化质子还原的性质.通过与其他单铁模型配合物对比,可以推断第一个还原峰归属为配合物由FeI转化为FeI,第二个可逆还原峰归属为配合物由FeI转化为Fe0.同时,配合物Fe(CO)2PPh3(NN)第一个还原峰向高电位移动,该现象与双铁模型化合物的电化学性质较为一致.进一步研究发现,模型化合物具有催化转移氢化的活性.在常温下,乙醇溶剂中, Fe(CO)2PCy3(NN)能够催化对苯醌还原转化为对苯二酚,其中对苯醌的转化率达到89%,对苯二酚的产率达到40%.结合实验数据以及文献资料分析,认为乙醇在催化氢化中可以作为质子源,并且提出了催化转移氢化反应过程的机理.认为催化氢化过程中形成了-Fe-H-C-O-H-N-六元环,通过分子间相互作用完成了氢原子转移过程.该研究结论对单铁氢化酶活性中心模型化合物在催化氢化反应中的应用具有一定的参考价值.

Rhodopsin regeneration is accelerated via noncovalent 11-cis retinal-opsin complex--a role of retinal binding pocket of opsin

The regeneration of bovine rhodopsin from its apoprotein opsin and the prosthetic group 11-cis retinal involves the formation of a retinylidene Schiff base with the epsilon-amino group of the active lysine residue of opsin. The pH dependence of a Schiff base formation in solution follows a typical bell-shaped profile because of the pH dependence of the formation and the following dehydration of a 1-aminoethanol intermediate. Unexpectedly, however, we find that the formation of rhodopsin from 11-cis retinal and opsin does not depend on pH over a wide pH range. These results are interpreted by the Matsumoto and Yoshizawa (Nature 258 [1975] 523) model of rhodopsin regeneration in which the 11-cis retinal chromophore binds first to opsin through the beta-ionone ring, followed by the slow formation of the retinylidene Schiff base in a restricted space. We find the second-order rate constant of the rhodopsin formation is 6100+/-300 mol(-1) s(-1) at 25 degrees C over the pH range 5-10. The second-order rate constant is much greater than that of a model Schiff base in solution by a factor of more than 10(7). A previous report by Pajares and Rando (J Biol Chem 264 [1989] 6804) suggests that the lysyl epsilon-NH(2) group of opsin is protonated when the beta-ionone ring binding site is unoccupied. The acceleration of the Schiff base formation in rhodopsin is explained by stabilization of the deprotonated form of the lysyl epsilon-NH(2) group which might be induced when the beta-ionone ring binding site is occupied through the noncovalent binding of 11-cis retinal to opsin at the initial stage of rhodopsin regeneration, followed by the proximity and orientation effect rendered by the formation of noncovalent 11-cis retinal-opsin complex.     

THE EFFECT OF IONIC STRENGTH AND pH ON THE PROTONATED SCHIFF BASE AND TYROSINE DEPROTONATION KINETICS DURING THE BACTERIORHODOPSIN PHOTOCYCLE

Abstract— The deprotonation kinetics of tyrosine and the protonated Schiff base during the bacteriorho-dopsin photocycle were studied under different perturbations by transient absorption spectroscop Native purple membrane, as well as samples which were deionized (blue) then restored with Na⁺ or La³⁺ were used at pH's ranging from 7 to 10 at very low salt concentrations. The results were compared with previous studies at higher ionic strength. The important conclusions can be summarized as follows: (a) The rate constants of both the Schiff base and tyrosine deprotonation are not very sensitive to the changes of conditions. (b) An almost linear relationship is observed between the relative amplitudes of the tyrosine deprotonated during the cycle and the slow component of the Schiff base deprotonation under the different perturbations studied. This was taken to support the two site model for the protonated Schiff base, one near tyrosine and the other near its ionized form. (c) The pK_a value determined from the ratio of the amplitude of the fast to the slow component of the Schiff base deprotonation is found to decrease with increasing ionic strength of the medium. At extremely low ionic strength, it was found to equal that of the tyrosine phenolic group in solution.

RETINAL-OPSIN LINKAGE OF CEPHALOPOD RHODOPSIN

Abstract— The pK_a of the Schiff base of N-retinylidene butylamine was determined in anionic (sodium dodecylsulfate), cationic (cetyltrimethylammonium bromide) and nonionic (polyoxyethylene (9) lauryl ether) detergent solutions. The pK_a of the Schiff base was raised from 6.4 to 9.9 by the effect of the neighboring anion. The rise of the pK_a was affected by the ion strength. Squid metarhodopsin behaved in a manner similar to the model Schiff base in the anionic detergent solution. The cationic group showed the opposite effect on the pK_a of the Schiff base. The retinal Schiff base in rhodopsin might be heavily influenced by adjacent anionic groups. The nature of the interaction is discussed.     

THE TWO CONSECUTIVE M SUBSTATES IN THE PHOTOCYCLE OF BACTERIORHODOPSIN ARE AFFECTED SPECIFICALLY BY THE D85N AND D96N RESIDUE REPLACEMENTS

The photocycle of the proton pump bacteriorhodopsin contains two consecutive intermediates in which the retinal Schiff base is unprotonated; the reaction between these states, termed M1 and M2, was suggested to be the switch in the proton transport which reorients the Schiff base from D85 on the extracellular side to D96 on the cytoplasmic side (Váró and Lanyi, Biochemistry 30, 5016-5022, 1991). At pH 10 the absorption maxima of both M1 and M2 could be determined in the recombinant D96N protein. We find that M1 absorbs at 411 nm as do M1 and M2 in wild-type bacteriorhodopsin, but M2 absorbs at 404 nm. Thus, in M2 but not M1 the unprotonated Schiff base is affected by the D96N residue replacement. The connectivity of the Schiff base to D96 in the detected M2 state, but not in M1, is thereby established. On the other hand, the photostationary state which develops during illumination of D85N bacteriorhodopsin contains an M state corresponding to M1 with an absorption maximum shifted to 400 nm, suggesting that this species in turn is affected by D85. These results are consistent with the suggestion that M1 and M2 are pre-switch and post-switch states, respectively.     

Synthesis and characterization of epoxy resins containing imine group and their curing processes with aromatic diamine

The epoxy resins containing imine bonding were prepared from hydroxyl substituted Schiff base monomers in two steps. At the first step, hydroxyl substituted Schiff base monomers were synthesized via condensation reaction. At the second step, epoxy resins were synthesized from the reaction between Schiff base monomers and epichlorohydrine (EPC). Then curing processes of epoxy resins were achieved by p-phenylenediamine compound. The structures of resulting compounds were confirmed by FT-IR, UV-Vis and ¹H-NMR. TG-DTA and DSC measurements were performed for thermal characterizations of the compounds. Chemical resistances of the cured epoxy-amine systems were determined for coating applications in acidic, alkaline and organic solvents. HCl (10%, aqueous solution), NaOH (10%, aqueous solution), DMSO, DMF, N-methylpyrrolidone, ethanol, THF and acetone were used for corrosion tests. Chemical resistance data of the synthesized epoxy resins demonstrated that they have good chemical resistance against various acid, alkaline and common organic solvents. Surface morphologies of epoxy resin and the cured epoxy resin were determined with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) measurements. Also, optical band gap (E_g) values of Schiff base monomers and epoxy resins were calculated from UV-Vis measurements.     

EFFECT OF PROTONATION ON THE ISOMERIZATION PROPERTIES OF n-BUTYLAMINE SCHIFF BASE OF ISOMERIC RETINAL AS REVEALED BY DIRECT HPLC ANALYSES: SELECTION OF ISOMERIZATION PATHWAYS BY RETINAL PROTEINS

Alumina adsorption chromatography and ion-pair reversed-phase chromatography were developed to analyze the isomers of unprotonated and protonated n-butylamine Schiff base of retinal (RSB and PRSB), respectively. Photoisomerization starting from the all-trans, 11-cis and 13-cis isomers was traced for RSB in n-hexane, acetonitrile, methanol and 1-butanol, and for PRSB in methanol, acetonitrile and 1-butanol. The quantum yields of photoisomerization for the all-trans, 9-cis, 11-cis and 13-cis isomers were determined for RSB and PRSB in the above solvents except 1-butanol. On the other hand, photoisomerization of isomeric retinal bound (through Schiff base linkage) to bovine serum albumin (RBSA) in aqueous solution (pH 3, 7 and 12) as well as thermal isomerization of RSB (in n-hexane), PRSB (in methanol) and RBSA (in aqueous solution, pH 7) were traced starting from the all-trans, 11-cis, and 13-cis isomers. Protonation of RSB drastically changes the pathway of photoisomerization and increases the quantum yields of isomeric RSB. The solvent polarity increases the quantum yields of RSB differently depending on the configuration. Protonation enhances thermal isomerization also. The results of the above model systems are compared with those of retinal proteins to rationalize their selection of the particular isomerization pathways.     

Electric-Field Effects in 13-Demethyl-11,14-Epoxyretinal-Bacteriorhodopsin Films

Abstract— We report the results of experiments on the application of electric fields across thin, dry Alms of a bacteriorho-dopsin (BR) analog pigment in which the retinal chro-mophore has been replaced with 13-demethyl-11,14-epoxyretinal. As previously observed in other BR variants with low Schiff-base pK values, this pigment exhibits protonation and deprotonation of the Schiff base under an applied electric field, depending on the initial Schiff-base protonation state or effective pH. At low effective pH, a fast (<200 μs) deprotonation reaction dominates. At high pH, an apparently different mechanism leads to Schiff-base protonation on the time scale of seconds. Comparison of our results with a simple model suggests that the external field causes a shift in the pK of the Schiff base by1–2 pH units.
