The use of circular dichroism in the investigation of protein structure and function

Circular Dichroism (CD) relies on the differential absorption of left and right circularly polarised radiation by chromophores which either possess intrinsic chirality or are placed in chiral environments. Proteins possess a number of chromophores which can give rise to CD signals. In the far UV region (240-180 nm), which corresponds to peptide bond absorption, the CD spectrum can be analysed to give the content of regular secondary structural features such as alpha-helix and beta-sheet. The CD spectrum in the near UV region (320-260 nm) reflects the environments of the aromatic amino acid side chains and thus gives information about the tertiary structure of the protein. Other non-protein chromophores such as flavin and haem moieties can give rise to CD signals which depend on the precise environment of the chromophore concerned. Because of its relatively modest resource demands, CD has been used extensively to give useful information about protein structure, the extent and rate of structural changes and ligand binding. In the protein design field, CD is used to assess the structure and stability of the designed protein fragments. Studies of protein folding make extensive use of CD to examine the folding pathway; the technique has been especially important in characterising molten globule intermediates which may be involved in the folding process. CD is an extremely useful technique for assessing the structural integrity of membrane proteins during extraction and characterisation procedures. The interactions between chromophores can give rise to characteristic CD signals. This is well illustrated by the case of the light harvesting complex from photosynthetic bacteria, where the CD spectra can be analysed to indicate the extent of orbital overlap between the rings of bacteriochlorophyll molecules. It is therefore evident that CD is a versatile technique in structural biology, with an increasingly wide range of applications.     

STERIC HINDRANCE IN PROPOSED PHOTOISOMERS OF BILIRUBIN

Abstract— Semi-empirical potential energy calculations have been used to examine the stabilities of the proposed geometric isomers of bilirubin. The calculations show that for either of the dipyrrole moieties, the 'anti-E' and 'syn-E' planar conformations are sterically unacceptable. The most stable form of the E isomer has the two pyrrole rings almost at right angles and in this conformation there can be no π-delocalisation between the rings.     

Solubilization of bilirubin by cholate micelles. Spectroscopic and gel permeation studies

The interactions of bilirubin with bile salts have been studied using fluorescence, circular dichroism and¹H NMR methods. Enhancement of bilirubin fluorescence and induction of optical activity in bilirubin in the presence of cholate has been observed. Fluorescence enhancement is pronounced above the critical micelle concentration, while induced CD bands are detectable even in the premicellar region. Dehydrocholate and deoxycholate did not cause a fluorescence increase, but induced CD bands were observed for bilirubin in these cases. Gel permeation chromatography on Sephadex G-50 yielded a single bilirubin-cholate species at alkaline pH, while two species were obtained at neutral pH.¹H NMR and CD spectral characterizations of these complexes are reported. A 4∶1 cholate-bilirubin mixture has been analysed by difference (nuclear Overhauser effect) NOE spectroscopy. Observation of strong, negative NOE, both intermolecular and intramolecular leads to the conclusion that specific methyl groups on bilirubin and cholate are proximal in the mixed micelle.     

Fluorescence Sensing and Selective Binding of a Novel 4,4′‐Sulfonyldianiline‐Bridged Bis(β‐cyclodextrin) for Bile Salts

A novel 4,4′‐sulfonyldianiline‐bridged bis(β‐cyclodextrin (CD)) 2 was synthesized, and its complex stability constants (K_s) for the 1 : 1 inclusion complexation with bile salts, i.e., cholate (CA), deoxycholate (DCA), glycocholate (GCA), and taurocholate (TCA) have been determined in phosphate buffer (pH 7.2) at 25° by fluorescence spectroscopy. The result indicated that 2 can act as efficient fluorescent sensor and display remarkable fluorescence enhancement upon addition of optically inert bile salts. Structures of the inclusion complexes between bile salts and 2 were elucidated by 2D‐NMR experiments, indicating that the anionic tail group and the D ring of bile salts penetrate into one CD cavity of 2 from the wide opening deeply, while the phenyl moiety of the CD linker is partially self‐included in the other CD cavity to form a host–linker–guest binding mode. As compared with native β‐CD 1 upon complexation with bile salts, bis(β‐CD) 2 enhances the binding ability and molecular selectivity. Typically, 2 gives the highest K_s value of 26200 M ^?1 for the complexation with CA, which may be ascribed to the simultaneous contributions of hydrophobic, H‐bond, and electrostatic interactions. These phenomena are discussed from the viewpoints of multiple recognition and induce‐fit interactions between host and guest.     

Inclusion complexation of a novel diaminodiphenyl disulphide bridged bis(β-cyclodextrin) with bile salts

A novel 4,4′-diaminodiphenyl disulphide bridged bis(β-cyclodextrin) (β-CD) 2 was synthesised, and its inclusion complexation behaviour with bile salts, i.e. cholate (CA), deoxycholate (DCA), glycocholate (GCA) and taurocholate (TCA) have been determined in phosphate buffer (pH 7.20) at 25°C by the fluorescence and 2D NMR spectroscopy. The stoichiometry of resulting inclusion complexes between bis(β-CD) 2 and bile salts was demonstrated, showing 1?:?1 binding model upon all inclusion complexation. The structures of the inclusion complexes between bile salts and bis(β-CD) 2 were elucidated by 2D NMR experiments, indicating that the D-ring and side-chain of bile salts, penetrate into one CD cavity of 2 from the wide opening deeply, while the phenyl moiety of the CD linker is partially self-included in the other CD cavity to form host-linker-guest binding mode. As compared with the native β-CD 1 upon complexation with bile salts, the bis(β-CD) 2 enhances the binding ability and molecular selectivity.     

“Three-in-one” Complexes Formed by Anionic Guests and Monosubstituted Cationic Alkyldiamino β-Cyclodextrin Derivatives

The effect of electrostatic interactions on the complexation of ionic guests by charged β-cyclodextrin (βCD) derivatives is reviewed. Special attention is paid to the numerous studies concerning the effect of electrostatic interactions on (i) the complexation of fluorescent and UV probes; (ii) the catalytic and chiral recognition properties of βCD derivatives; and (iii) the complexation of two bile salts (sodium cholate, NaC, and sodium deoxycholate, NaDC). The formation of three-in-one complexes between NaC and alkyldiamino βCD derivatives is also presented.     

Thermodynamics of complexation of tauro- and glyco-conjugated bile salts with two modified ��-cyclodextrins

The interaction between two modified ??-cyclodextrins and bile salts, common for rat, dog and man, was studied using isothermal titration calorimetry. The structural differences in the interaction were investigated by ¹³C NMR. The two modified ??-cyclodextrins were chosen because of their frequent use as oral excipients in drug formulation and in marketed products. All the investigated bile salts had an affinity for the ??-cyclodextrins, although there were large variations in the stability constants. The variations in the enthalpic and entropic contributions to the overall Gibbs free energy revealed differences in the binding mode to the investigated bile salts, i.e. the bile salts with a hydroxyl group at C12 interacted differently than bile salts without this hydroxyl group. These observations were supported by ¹³C NMR, which suggested binding to the D-ring of the steroid structure for bile salts with a hydroxyl group at C12 and to the C-ring for the bile salts without this hydroxyl group. The type of substitution of ??-cyclodextrin had significant effects on the thermodynamics of the interaction where especially the entropic changed were affected.     

Measurement of bilirubin partition coefficients in bile salt micelle/aqueous buffer solutions by micellar electrokinetic chromatography

The partition coefficients for the distribution of bilirubin between aqueous phosphateborate buffer and cholic, taurocholic, taurodeoxycholic, and taurochenodeoxycholic micelles have been measured by micellar electrokinetic chromatography at pH 8.5. Determination of the partition coefficients required that the critical micelle concentration and partial specific volumes be determined for each bile salt. Critical micelle concentrations were slightly higher for the trihydroxy bile salts. Partial specific volumes of the bile salt micelles differed very little from each other, and for each bile salt they were constant over the concentration range studied, which was typically from slightly above the critical micelle concentration to 35 mM. Capacity factors were corrected for the effects of applied voltage by extrapolation of the capacity factor to zero applied volts. The free solution mobility of bilirubin, determined in the absence of bile salt, was also corrected for the effects of applied voltage. Plots of extrapolated capacity factor versus phase ratio yield the partition coefficient as the slope of a linear fit to the data. Partition coefficients for bilirubin were significantly higher for dihydroxy bile salts than for trihydroxy bile salts.     

Importance of Bile Composition for Diagnosis of Biliary Obstructions

Determination of the cause of a biliary obstruction is often inconclusive from serum analysis alone without further clinical tests. To this end, serum markers as well as the composition of bile of 74 patients with biliary obstructions were determined to improve the diagnoses. The samples were collected from the patients during an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). The concentration of eight bile salts, specifically sodium cholate, sodium glycocholate, sodium taurocholate, sodium glycodeoxycholate, sodium chenodeoxycholate, sodium glycochenodeoxycholate, sodium taurodeoxycholate, and sodium taurochenodeoxycholate as well as bile cholesterol were determined by HPLC-MS. Serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST), and bilirubin were measured before the ERCP. The aim was to determine a diagnostic factor and gain insights into the influence of serum bilirubin as well as bile salts on diseases. Ratios of conjugated/unconjugated, primary/secondary, and taurine/glycine conjugated bile salts were determined to facilitate the comparison to literature data. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were determined, and the cut-off values were calculated by determining the point closest to (0,1). It was found that serum bilirubin was a good indicator of the type of biliary obstruction; it was able to differentiate between benign obstructions such as choledocholithiasis (at the concentration of >11 µmol/L) and malignant changes such as pancreatic neoplasms or cholangiocarcinoma (at the concentration of >59 µmol/L). In addition, it was shown that conjugated/unconjugated bile salts confirm the presence of an obstruction. With lower levels of conjugated/unconjugated bile salts the possibility for inflammation and, thus, neoplasms increase.
