Short range photoinduced electron transfer in proteins: QM-MM simulations of tryptophan and flavin fluorescence quenching in proteins

Hybrid quantum mechanical-molecular mechanics (dynamics) were performed on flavin reductase (Fre) and flavodoxin reductase (Fdr), both from Escherichia coli. Each was complexed with riboflavin (Rbf) or flavin mononucleotide (FMN). During 50 ps trajectories, the relative energies of the fluorescing state (S₁) of the isoalloxazine ring and the lowest charge transfer state (CT) were assessed to aid prediction of fluorescence lifetimes that are shortened due to quenching by electron transfer from tyrosine. The simulations for the four cases display a wide range in CT–S₁ energy gap caused by the presence of phosphate, other charged and polar residues, water, and by intermolecular separation between donor and acceptor. This suggests that the Gibbs energy change (ΔG₀) and reorganization energy (λ) for the electron transfer may differ in different flavoproteins.

Study on electrochemical behavior of tryptophan at a glassy carbon electrode modified with multi-walled carbon nanotubes embedded cerium hexacyanoferrate

Electrochemical behavior of cerium hexacyanoferrate (CeHCF) incorporated on multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) modified GC electrode is investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electrochemical techniques. The CeHCF/MWNT/GC electrode showed potent electrocatalytic activity toward the electrochemical oxidation of tryptophan in phosphate buffer solution (pH 7.0) with a diminution of the overpotential of 240 mV. The anodic peak currents increased linearly with the concentration of tryptophan in the range of 2.0 × 10⁻⁷ to 1.0 × 10⁻⁴ M with a detection limit of 2.0 × 10⁻⁸ M (at a S/N = 3). And the determination of tryptophan in pharmaceutical samples was satisfactory.     

Synthesis of 5-[(2-hydroxynaphthalen-1-yl)diazenyl]isophthalic acid and its application to electrocatalytic oxidation and determination of adrenaline,paracetamol, and tryptophan

In this study,Au nanoparticles/poly 5-[(2-hydroxynaphthalen-l-yl)diazenyl]isophthalic acid film modified glassy carbon electrode(AuNPs/poly(NDI)/GCE) has shown excellent electrocatalytic activity toward the oxidation of adrenaline(ADR),paracetamol(PAC),and tryptophan(Trp).The bare glassy carbon electrode(GCE) fails to separate the oxidation peak potentials of these molecules,while the poly(NDI) film modified electrode can resolve them.Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS)indicates that the charge transfer resistance of the bare electrode decreases as 5-[(2-hydroxynaphthalen-l-yl)diazenyl]isophthalic acid is electropolymerized on the bare electrode.Furthermore,EIS exhibits enhancement of electron transfer kinetics between analytes and the electrode after electrodeposition of Au nanoparticles.Differential pulse voltammetry results show that the electrocatalytic current increases linearly in the ranges of 0.01-680.0 μmol L~1 for ADR,0.05-498.0 μmol L~1 for PAC,and 3.0-632.0 μmol L~1 for Trp;with detection limits(S/N = 3) of 0.009 μmol L~1,0.005 μmol L~1,and 0.09 μmol L~1 for ADR,PAC,and Trp,respectively.The proposed method has been successfully applied for simultaneous determination of ADR,PAC,and Trp in biological samples.     

Preparation and characterization of a polystyrene/bovine serum albumin nanoparticle‐coated capillary for chiral separation using open‐tubular capillary electrochromatography

Polystyrene (PS) nanoparticles coated by BSA, hereafter denoted as PS/BSA, were prepared and chemically immobilized for the first time onto a capillary inner wall for open‐tubular CEC (OTCEC). EOF and scanning electron micrography were used to characterize the prepared nanoparticle‐coated capillaries. To investigate the performance of the prepared columns in OTCEC, chiral separation of d ,l ‐tryptophan (dl ‐Trp) was performed in monolayer BSA‐modified capillary and PS/BSA nanoparticle‐coated columns. The results indicated that the nanoparticle‐modified column afforded a higher resolution compared with the monolayer type. Rapid enantioseparation of dl ‐Trp (within 3 min) was achieved with the PS/BSA‐immobilized column using an electroosmotic pump‐assisted CEC. Enantiomer separations of other compounds like dl ‐tyrosine and warfarin were also achieved with the column. Besides, run‐to‐run and column‐to‐column repeatabilities of the PS/BSA‐coated column in the chiral separation were systematically introduced.     

A comprehensive conformational analysis of tryptophan,its ionic and dimeric forms

Tryptophan is an essential amino acid, and understanding the conformational preferences of monomer and dimer is a subject of outstanding relevance in biological systems. An exhaustive first principles investigation of tryptophan ( W ) and its ionized counterparts cations (WC) , anions (WA) , and zwitterions (WZ) has been carried out. A comprehensive and systematic study of tryptophan dimer (WD) conformations resulted in about 62 distinct minima on the potential energy surface. The hydrogen bonds and a variety of noncovalent interactions such as OH‐π, NH‐π, CH‐π, CH‐O, and π‐π interactions stabilized different forms of tryptophan and its dimers. Over all in monomeric conformers which have NH‐O, hydrogen bonds showed higher stability than other conformers. A cursory analysis reveal that the most stable dimers stabilized by hydrogen bonding interactions while the less stable dimers showed aromatic side chain interactions. Protein Data Bank analysis of tryptophan dimers reveals that at a larger distance greater than 5 Å, T‐shaped orientations (CH‐π interactions) are more prevalent, while stacked orientations (π‐π interactions) are predominant at a smaller distance. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Destabilization of artificial biomembrane induced by the penetration of tryptophan

The effect of tryptophan on the membrane stability was studied by using three artificial biological membranes including liposome, Langmuir monolayer and solid supported bilayer lipid membrane (s-BLM) as models. All the results indicate that the penetration of tryptophan can destabilize different artificial biological membranes. The diameter of liposome and the leakage of calcein from liposome increased with the increase of tryptophan concentration because the penetration of tryptophan was beneficial for dehydrating the polar head groups of lipids and the formation of fusion intermediates. π-A isotherms of lecithin on the subphase of tryptophan solution further confirm that tryptophan can penetrate into lipid monolayer and reduce the stability of lipid monolayer. When the concentration of tryptophan increased from 0 to 2 × 10⁻³ mol L⁻¹, the limiting molecular area of lecithin increased from 110.5 to 138.5 Å², but the collapse pressure of the monolayer decreased from 47.6 to 42.3 mN m⁻¹, indicating the destabilization of lipid monolayer caused by the penetration of tryptophan. The resistance spectra of s-BLM demonstrate that the existence of tryptophan leads to the formation of some defects in s-BLM and the destabilization of s-BLM. The values of electron-transfer resistance and double layer capacitance respectively decreased from 5.765 × 10⁶ Ω and 3.573 × 10⁻⁸ F to 1.391 × 10⁶ Ω and 3.340 × 10⁻⁸ F when the concentration of tryptophan increased from 0 to 2 × 10⁻³ mol L⁻¹. Correspondingly, the breakdown voltage of s-BLM decreased from 2.51 to 1.72 V.
