In this study ion binding to solid organic matter was investigated. We used the NICA-Donnan model to describe the interaction between Cu(II), Pb(II), and Cd(II) ions and a lignocellulosic substrate extracted from wheat bran. Such a material represents a very cheap and flexible substrate, which can be used as a natural filter to remove toxic metal ions from industrial effluents or applied in the decontamination and rehabilitation of abandoned industrial sites. Moreover, such a material also represents a very simple model of natural organic matter derived from lignin and cellulose, for which there is now a lack of thermodynamic data as far as their interaction with toxic metal ions is concerned. Experimental results were obtained in various conditions of pH and ionic strength. In our modeling, we used the acidity constants and the concentration of sites that were determined in a previous work. The parameters deduced from the NICA-Donnan model were also compared to thermodynamic data available for other cases of natural organic matter, mainly humic substances. 相似文献

A chelation-enhanced fluorescence method for the detection of paramagnetic copper(II) ions is developed. Two dyes with unequal metal ion binding constants are used, each giving strong fluorescence enhancement in the presence of a diamagnetic reporter ion such as cadmium(II). Upon presentation of copper(II) to a 1:1:1 mixture of the two dyes and cadmium(II), the Cd(II) is displaced from one dye to the other, resulting in quenching of one dye by the Cu(II) and enhancement of the weaker binding dye by complexation of the Cd(II). Although several criteria must be met, this method holds promise for analysis of a wide range of analytes. 相似文献

The binding of Ni(II) and Cu(II) to histidine, to the tripeptides GlyGlyHis and HisGlyHis, and to the protein bovine serum albumin has been studied by isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) to determine the experimental conditions and data analysis necessary to reproduce literature values for the binding constants and thermodynamic parameters. From analysis of the ITC data, we find that there are two major considerations for the use of this method to accurately quantify metal ion interaction with biological macromolecules. First, to determine true pH-independent binding constants, ITC data must be corrected for metal ion competition with protons by accounting for the experimental pH and pKa values of the metal-binding residues. Second, metal interaction with the buffer (stability and enthalpy of formation of metal-buffer complex(es)) must be included in the analysis of the ITC data to determine the binding constants and the change in enthalpy. While it may be possible to use a buffer that forms only weak, and therefore negligible, complexes with the metal, a buffer that has a strong and well-characterized interaction has the benefit of suppressing metal ion hydrolysis and precipitation, and of allowing the quantification of high-affinity metal-binding sites on biological macromolecules. This study has also quantified the contribution of the N-terminal imidazole of HisGlyHis to the stability of the Cu(II) and Ni(II) complexes of this protein sequence and has provided new insight about Cu(II) binding to albumin. 相似文献

A method for elucidating metal ion binding mechanisms with water-soluble polymers has been developed in which the polymer is treated as a collection of monomeric units. Data obtained from potentiometric titrations are analysed by the ESTA library of programs and apparent formation constants may be calculated. From this information, predictions may be made as to metal ion separation using complexation-ultrafiltration techniques. The polymer used in this study was Polymin Water-Free and its complexation with Hg(II), Cd(II), Pb(II), Co(II) and Ni(II) was successfully modelled. 相似文献

We describe an ultraviolet (UV) absorbance titration method that can be used to determine complexing capacities (CL) and conditional stability constants (log K) of humic substances (HSs) with metal ions such as Cu(II) and Hg(II). Two fulvic acids (FA) and one humic acid (HA) were used for this study. UV absorbance of HSs gradually increased with the addition of Cu(II) or Hg(II) after blank correction, and these increases followed the theoretical 1:1 (ligand:metal ion) binding model. The results from the absorbance titration calculation for HSs with Cu(II) and Hg(II) compared well with those from fluorescence quenching titration. The titration of the model compound l-tyrosine with Cu(II) proved the validity of this method, and the K and CL were within 2.3% and 7.4% of the fluorescence quenching titration. The results suggest that the UV absorbance titration can be used to study the binding capacities of HSs and/or dissolved organic matter (DOM) with trace metals. The advantages and disadvantages of the absorbance titration method were also discussed. 相似文献

The new twistophane 4 has been synthesised, which comprises a conjugated dehydropyridoannulene-type macrocyclic scaffold with outwardly projecting nitrogen-donor sites for the purpose of metal ion coordination. The macrocyclíc structure of 4 was assigned by using spectroscopic methods, and shown to exist in a twisted and chiral ground state conformation by semi-empirical theoretical calculations. A detailed spectroscopic investigation into the metal ion binding properties of 4 and precursor 11 revealed that they functioned as selective complexants, affording a fluorescence quenching output response characteristic of Pd(II) and Hg(II) ions. Furthermore, 4 also signalled the presence of Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Ag(I) ions by the precipitation of coordination polymers, and exhibited reversible proton-triggered fluorescence quenching behaviour. Macrocycle 4 thus represents a unique type of molecular sensory platform, which may find a wealth of potential applications such as the detection of heavy-metal pollutants, as well as for the fabrication of proton-switchable materials and coordination polymers with novel electronic and magnetic properties. 相似文献

The interaction between hyperoside and bovine serum albumin (BSA) was examined by fluorescence spectroscopy at 298, 304, and 310 K. The spectroscopic data were analyzed using Tachiya model and Stern–Volmer equation to determine the binding sites and apparent binding constant between hyperoside and BSA. For Tachiya model, both binding sites and apparent binding constants increased with the increasing of temperature, whereas for Stern–Volmer equation, the corresponding binding constants decreased as temperature increasing and the binding sites were independent of temperature. The positive sign of enthalpy change (ΔH) and entropy change (ΔS) suggested that hydrophobic forces played a major role in the interaction. Synchronous fluorescence spectra indicated that the conformation of protein was perturbed by the interaction of hyperoside with BSA. Moreover, the presence of metal ion affected the hyperoside-BSA binding. 相似文献

Salicylaldoxime-immobilized silica gel was characterized and used as a potential sorbent for heavy metal ions, viz. Cu(II), Ni(II), Co(II), and Zn(II). The experimental conditions were optimized both in batch and column processes to achieve the maximum efficiency. Kinetic and thermodynamic parameters as well as isotherm constants were evaluated to test the feasibility of the process. The role of various metal ions and different anions were tested in order to monitor the process in case of real samples. The alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, and ammonium salts do not have any effect on the said process. This differential behavior can be effectively used for the decontamination of alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, and ammonium salts from Cu(II), Ni(II), Co(II), and Zn(II) ions via solid phase extraction following AAS measurement. The purification of the salts was confirmed by voltammetric experiment. 相似文献

The CopC protein from Pseudomonas syringae pathovar tomato is expressed as one of four proteins encoded by the operon CopABCD that is responsible for copper resistance. It is a small soluble molecule (10.5 kDa) with a beta-barrel structure and features two distinct copper binding sites, which are highly specific for Cu(I) (K(D) > or = 10(-)(13)) and Cu(II) (K(D) approximately 10(-)(15)). These dissociation constants were estimated via ligand competition experiments monitored by electronic spectral and fluorescence probes. The chemistries of the two copper sites are interdependent. When the Cu(II) site is empty, the Cu(I) ion is oxidized by air, but when both sites are occupied, the molecule is stable in air. The availability of an unoccupied site of higher affinity induces intermolecular transfer of either Cu(I) or Cu(II) while maintaining free copper ion concentrations in solution at sub-picomolar levels. This intriguing copper chemistry is consistent with the proposed role of CopC as a copper carrier in the oxidizing periplasmic space. These properties would allow it to exchange either Cu(I) or Cu(II) with its putative partners CopA, CopB, and CopD, contrasting with the role of the Cu(I) (only) chaperones found in the reducing cytoplasm. 相似文献

The equilibrium ion exchange method (EIM) is a powerful tool for the investigation of metal cation complexation by dissolved organic matter (DOM) in natural systems. Tests with different ion exchange resins demonstrated that under low ionic strength conditions (0.01 mol/kg) and in the presence of DOM, equilibration times of at least 24 h are required for experiments with Cu(II). The classical approach to the EIM was modified by using nonlinear reference adsorption isotherms in order to expand the method to a broader range of experimental conditions. For Cu(II) at low ionic strength (0.01 mol/kg), the reference isotherms between pH 4 and 6 were identical and were mathematically modeled in terms of Langmuir adsorption parameters. The EIM using nonlinear reference isotherms was validated between pH 4 and 6 by the correct determination of the stability constants for the complexes CuOxalate and Cu(Oxalate)(2). Then the method was used to quantitatively characterize the Cu(II) complexation behavior of DOM in an aqueous chestnut leaf litter extract between pH 4 and 6. In contrast to the classical approach to the EIM, data were analyzed by using plots [Cu](bound)/[Cu](free)vs. [Cu](bound). This allowed the determination of both, conditional stability constants and metal binding capacities for two different binding site classes. The logarithmic values of the stability constants were about 8 for the strong binding sites and 5.5-6 for the weak binding sites. The total Cu(II) binding capacity increased from 0.22 mol/(kg C) at pH 4 to 2.85 mol/(kg C) at pH 6. 相似文献

The interactions between bendroflumethiazide (BFTZ) and human serum albumin (HSA) have been studied by fluorescence spectroscopy. Binding constants for drug attachment to the various binding sites of HSA have been measured at different temperatures in physiological buffer solution. The effect of metal ions on BFTZ interaction with HSA was also investigated. The thermodynamic parameters, DeltaH and DeltaS, have been calculated to be 49.28kJmol(-1)>0, and 258.83Jmol(-1)K(-1)>0, respectively. The distance between HSA and BFTZ, r, was determined to be 1.47nm based on F?rster's non-radiative energy transfer theory. The experimental results reveal that BFTZ has a strong ability to quench the intrinsic fluorescence of HSA through a static quenching mechanism. Furthermore, the binding constants between BFTZ and HSA are remarkably independent of temperature, and decrease in the presence of various ions, usually by about 30-55%. Hydrophobic interaction occurs between BFTZ and the sub-domain II A of HSA. 相似文献

Heavy metal ions are harmful to aquatic life and humans owing to their high toxicity and non‐biodegradability, so their removal from wastewater is an important task. Therefore, this work focuses on designing suitable, simple and economical nanosensors to detect and remove these metal ions with high selectivity and sensitivity. Based on this idea, different types of mesoporous materials such as hexagonal SBA‐15, cubic SBA‐16 and spherical MCM‐41, their chloro‐functionalized derivatives, as well as 4‐(4‐nitro‐phenylazo)‐naphthalen‐1‐ol (NPAN) azo dye have been synthesized, with the aim of designing some optical nanosensors for metal ions sensing applications. The mentioned azo dye has been anchored into the chloro‐functionalized mesoporous materials. The designed nanosensors were characterized using scanning and transmission electron microscopy as well as Fourier transform infrared and UV–visible spectral analysis, nitrogen adsorption–desorption isotherms, low‐angle X‐ray diffraction and thermogravimetric analyses. Their optical sensing to various toxic metal ions such as Cd (II), Hg (II), Mn (II), Fe (II), Zn (II) and Pb (II) at different values of pH (1.1, 4.9, 7 and 12) was investigated. The optimization of experimental conditions, including the effect of pH and metal ion concentration, was examined. The experimental results showed that the solution pH had a major impact on metal ion detection. The optical nanosensors respond well to the tested metal ions, as reflected by the enhancement in both absorption and emission spectra upon adding different concentrations of the metal salts and were fully reversible on adding ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid or citric acid to the formed complexes. High values of the binding constants for the designed nanosensors were observed at pHs 7 and 12, confirming the strong chelation of different metals to the nanosensor at these pHs. Also, high binding constants and sensitivity were observed for NPAN‐MCM‐41 as a nanosensor to detect the different metal ions. From the obtained results, we succeeded in transforming the harmful azo dye into an environmentally friendly form via designing of the optical nanosensors used to detect toxic metal ions in wastewater with high sensitivity. 相似文献

The synthesis, characterization and ion binding studies of 2,3-di(1H-2-pyrrolyl)pyrido[2,3-b]pyrazine (1) have been described. 1, which has been targeted with a view to sensing both F- and transition metal ions, exhibits binding-induced color changes from yellowish green to red/brown observable by the naked eye. The binding site for the metal ion in the system has been unambiguously established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction study of a Ni(II) complex of 1. While the estimated value of the binding constant of 1 with F- is 4.9 x 10(3) M(-1), the binding constants for the cations are found to be two orders higher in magnitude in acetonitrile. Even though 1 possesses two separate binding sites for F- and metal ions, it is shown that the presence of the cation influences the binding of the anion and vice versa. The binding constant values of an ion in the presence of oppositely charged species are measured to be significantly lower. 相似文献

Conditional stability constants for the Cu-sensitive fluorescent dye Phen Green™ SK (PGSK) were determined for complexes containing both Cu(I) and Cu(II). Experimental conditions were optimized to minimize oxidation of Cu(I) to Cu(II). A binding constant of 1011.38 for PGSK and Cu(I) was determined using chloride as the competing ligand and an iterative procedure involving equilibrium calculations to fit experimental data. The new constant was tested by evaluating PGSK fluorescence in the presence of the strong Cu(I)-ligand neocuproine and thiourea. There was good agreement between experimental data and changes in fluorescence predicted by calculations using the new constant and published constants for the competing ligands. Using EDTA to buffer the free ion concentration of Cu2+, the conditional stability constant of PGSK with Cu(II) was measured to be 109.8. Both of these new constants are significantly higher than previously published values. Finally PGSK was used to examine the kinetics of Cu(I) dissociation from the biologically important ligand glutathione. 相似文献

The self-assembling peptide TZ1H, a structural variant of the trimeric isoleucine zipper GCN4-pII, contains histidine residues at core d-positions of alternate heptads that define three trigonal coordination sites within the coiled-coil trimer. Circular dichroism spectropolarimetry indicated that peptide TZ1H undergoes a random coil to alpha-helical conformational change upon binding of 1 equiv of silver(I) ion, but not zinc(II), copper(II), or nickel(II) ions. Isothermal titration calorimetry provided evidence for a single binding-site model in which each peptide contributes one net silver(I) coordination site, in agreement with the proposed structural model. Transmission electron microscopy revealed that TZ1H self-assembles into long aspect ratio helical fibers in the presence of silver(I) ion. These results demonstrate that the rational design of selective metal ion binding sites within de novo designed peptides represents a promising approach to the controlled fabrication of nanoscale, self-assembled materials. 相似文献

The small subunit of Escherichia coli ribonucleotide reductase (R2) is a homodimeric (betabeta) protein, in which each beta-peptide contains a diiron cluster composed of two inequivalent iron sites. R2 is capable of reductively activating O(2) to produce a stable tyrosine radical (Y122*), which is essential for production of deoxyribonucleotides on the larger R1 subunit. In this work, the paramagnetic Mn(II) ion is used as a spectroscopic probe to characterize the assembly of the R2 site with EPR spectroscopy. Upon titration of Mn(II) into samples of apoR2, we have been able to quantitatively follow three species (aquaMn(II), mononuclear Mn(II)R2, and dinuclear Mn(2)(II)R2) and fit each to a sequential two binding site model. As previously observed for Fe(II) binding within apoR2, one of the sites has a greater binding affinity relative to the other, K(1) = (5.5 +/- 1.1) x 10(5) M(-)(1) and K(2) = (3.9 +/- 0.6) x 10(4) M(-)(1), which are assigned to the B and A sites, respectively. In multiple titrations, only one dinuclear Mn(2)(II)R2 site was created per homodimer of R2, indicating that only one of the two beta-peptides of R2 is capable of binding Mn(II) following addition of Mn(II) to apoR2. Under anaerobic conditions, addition of only 2 equiv of Fe(II) to R2 (Fe(2)(II)R2) completely prevented the formation of any bound MnR2 species. Upon reaction of this sample with O(2) in the presence of Mn(II), both Y122* and Mn(2)(II)R2 were produced in equal amounts. Previous stopped-flow absorption spectroscopy studies have indicated that apoR2 undergoes a protein conformational change upon binding of metal (Tong et al. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1996, 118, 2107-2108). On the basis of these observations, we propose a model for R2 metal incorporation that invokes an allosteric interaction between the two beta-peptides of R2. Upon binding the first equiv of metal to a beta-peptide (beta(I)), the aforementioned protein conformational change prevents metal binding in the adjacent beta-peptide (beta(II)) approximately 25 A away. Furthermore, we show that metal incorporation into beta(II) occurs only during the O(2) activation chemistry of the beta(I)-peptide. This is the first direct evidence of an allosteric interaction between the two beta-peptides of R2. Furthermore, this model can explain the generally observed low Fe occupancy of R2. We also demonstrate that metal uptake and this newly observed allosteric effect are buffer dependent. Higher levels of glycerol cause loss of the allosteric effect. Reductive cycling of samples in the presence of Mn(II) produced a novel mixed metal Fe(III)Mn(III)R2 species within the active site of R2. The magnitude of the exchange coupling (J) determined for both the Mn(2)(II)R2 and Fe(III)Mn(III)R2 species was determined to be -1.8 +/- 0.3 and -18 +/- 3 cm(-)(1), respectively. Quantitative spectral simulations for the Fe(III)Mn(III)R2 and mononuclear Mn(II)R2 species are provided. This work represents the first instance where both X- and Q-band simulations of perpendicular and parallel mode spectra were used to quantitatively predict the concentration of a protein bound mononuclear Mn(II) species. 相似文献

Photosensitization of paraquat with photosynthetically active radiations (PAR) induced substantial production of both the hydroxyl radicals (*OH) and superoxide anions (O(2)(*-)) under in vitro conditions. Addition of transition metal ion, Cu (II) enhanced the paraquat-induced *OH radical production by 1.8-fold. Treatment of bovine serum albumin (BSA) with photosensitized paraquat resulted in a dose dependent fragmentation of protein. The quantitative analysis revealed the release of 73 microM acid soluble amino groups and 450 microM carbonyl groups from treated albumin at the highest albumin-paraquat molar ratio of 1:8 in presence of 200 microM Cu (II). The results with the free radical quenchers such as mannitol and superoxide dismutase (SOD) clearly reflected the involvement of *OH radicals in protein fragmentation process. The fluorescence data revealed significantly higher binding of paraquat with serum albumin. The binding constants (K(a)) and binding capacity (n) of albumin for paraquat were determined to be 3.4 x 10(5) l/mole and 12.9, respectively. Fluorescence emission spectra exhibited significant quenching of the intrinsic fluorescence of albumin upon addition of paraquat at increasing molar ratios. This is attributed to induced conformational changes in protein structure upon paraquat interaction at specific sites on albumin molecule. Most likely, the alkyl group transfers occur from N1 and/or N1' positions of paraquat to the electron rich sites at critical amino acid residues on treated protein. At higher paraquat concentrations, the albumin-paraquat interaction resulted in adduct formation with concurrent protein alkylation and free radical mediated fragmentation. Thus, on the basis of these results, the paraquat-protein interaction leading to alkylation, structural alterations and/or fragmentation of biological macromolecules has been suggested as an important factor for agrochemical-induced toxicity. 相似文献

The complexes formed on the reaction of various metal ions viz., Cu(II) and Cu(I) with phenol derivatives viz. catechol, chlorogenic acid (CGA), hydroquinone and n-propyl gallate (nPG) were established by UV-visible spectroscopy. The metal/ligand complexing ratio and complexation constants have been determined. Further, we showed that nanoparticles of Cu can be prepared from metal-phenol complexes in the presence of a protein (gelatin) by γ-irradiation showing that the reduction is metal ion centered. Formation of Ag nanoparticles was also observed on photo-irradiation with xenon lamp in the presence of dihydroxy benzene. The Ag and Cu nanoparticles were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and UV-visible absorption spectroscopy. TEM technique showed the presence of Cu and Ag nanoparticles with average size of 20 and 30 nm, respectively. 相似文献
