Characterization of melittin binding to Euplotes octocarinatus centrin

In the presence of 1.0mM Ca(2+), the interaction between Euplotes octocarinatus centrin (EoCen) and melittin (ME) was studied by means of fluorescence spectra. In 0.1M N-2-hydroxyethylpiperazine-N-2-ethanesulfonic acid (Hepes) and 150mM NaCl at pH 7.4, fluorescence peak of ME was observed at about 353nm indicating that micro-environment of Tryptophan (Trp) residue in ME was hydrophilic. With the addition of 3.2x10(-4)M calcium saturated EoCen (holoEoCen), the peak of ME was blue-shifted to 339nm, which may be resulted from micro-environmental changes of the peptide. At the same time, fluorescence emission of ME was increased significantly suggesting that new complex of ME-holoEoCen was formed under the experimental conditions. Based on the fluorescence titration curves, the 1:1 stoichiometric ratio of holoEoCen to ME was confirmed. In addition, the conditional binding constant of holoEoCen with ME was calculated to be logK(ME-holoEoCen)=6.59+/-0.14.     

铽(Ⅲ)与PvdA作用的光谱研究

八肋游仆虫中心蛋白N端半分子Loop区首个氨基酸的作用

本文通过分子生物学方法将八肋游仆虫中心蛋白N端半分子loop区的首个氨基酸,天冬氨酸Asp37和Asp73,分别突变为带相反电荷的赖氨酸。使用铽敏化荧光、TNS疏水探针研究了八肋游仆虫中心蛋白N端半分子loop区的首个氨基酸的作用。结果表明：当中心蛋白loop Ⅰ区37位的天冬氨酸突变为赖氨酸后,loop Ⅰ丧失了金属离子结合能力,进而影响了中心蛋白依赖于金属离子的构象变化;而loop Ⅱ区73位的天冬氨酸突变为赖氨酸后仍保持金属离子结合能力,依赖于金属离子的构象变化减小。中心蛋白发挥大部分生物功能都依赖于金属离子,这就表明loop Ⅰ区37位的天冬氨酸在中心蛋白发挥生物功能时起着重要作用,是不可缺少的。在10 mmol·L^-1 Hepes、pH 7.4、20 mmol·L^-1 KCl条件下,八肋游仆虫中心蛋白N端半分子loop Ⅱ与金属离子Tb³⁺和Ca²⁺的结合常数分别为：K_Ⅱ(Tb³⁺)=(8.31±0.18)×10⁴ L·mol^-1和K_Ⅱ(Ca²⁺)=(0.94±0.12)×10² L·mol^-1,中心蛋白N端半分子的两个金属结合部位结合能力顺序为：Ⅰ>Ⅱ。

Spectroscopic studies on the interaction of cilostazole with iodine and 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyanobenzoquinone

Lanthanide sensitized luminescence and chemiluminescence (CL) are of great importance because of the unique spectral properties, such as long lifetime, large Stokes shifts, and narrow emission bands characteristic to lanthanide ions (Ln³⁺). With the fluoroquinolone (FQ) compounds including enoxacin (ENX), norfloxacin (NFLX), lomefloxacin (LMFX), fleroxacin (FLRX), ofloxacin (OFLX), rufloxacin (RFX), gatifloxacin (GFLX) and sparfloxacin (SPFX), the luminescence and CL properties of Tb³⁺–FQ and Eu³⁺–FQ complexes have been investigated in this contribution. Ce⁴⁺–SO₃²⁻ in acidic conditions was taken as the CL system and sensitized CL intensities of Tb³⁺–FQ and Eu³⁺–FQ complexes were determined by flow-injection analysis. The luminescence and CL spectra of Tb³⁺–FQ complexes show characteristic peaks of Tb³⁺ at 490 nm, 545 nm, 585 nm and 620 nm. Complexes of Tb³⁺–ENX, Tb³⁺–NFLX, Tb³⁺–LMFX and Tb³⁺–FLRX display relatively strong emission intensity compared with Tb³⁺–OFLX, Tb³⁺–RFX, Tb³⁺–GFLX and Tb³⁺–SPFX. Quite weak peaks with unique characters of Eu³⁺ at 590 nm and 617 nm appear in the luminescence and CL spectra of Eu³⁺–ENX, but no notable sensitized luminescence and CL of Eu³⁺ could be observed when Eu³⁺ is added into other FQ. The distinct differences on emission intensity of Tb³⁺–FQ and Eu³⁺–FQ might originate from the different energy gap between the triplet levels of FQ and the excited levels of the Ln³⁺. The different sensitized luminescence and CL signals among Tb³⁺–FQ complexes could be attributed to different optical properties and substituents of these FQ compounds. The detailed mechanism involved in the luminescence and CL properties of Tb³⁺–FQ and Eu³⁺–FQ complexes has been investigated by analyzing the luminescence and CL spectra, quantum yields, and theoretical calculation results.     

The characterization for the binding of calcium and terbium to Euplotes octocarinatus centrin

Centrin is a member of the EF-hand superfamily that plays critical role in the centrosome duplication and separation. In the present paper, we characterized properties of metal ions binding to Euplotes octocarinatus centrin (EoCen) by fluorescence spectra and circular dichroism (CD) spectra. Changes of fluorescence spectra and alpha-helix contents of EoCen proved that Tb(3+) and Ca(2+) induced great conformational changes of EoCen resulting in exposing hydrophobic surfaces. At pH 7.4, Ca(2+) (and Tb(3+)) bond with EoCen at the ratio of 4:1. Equilibrium experiment indicated that Ca(2+) and Tb(3+) exhibited different binding capabilities for C- and N-terminal domains of protein. C-terminal domain bond with Ca(2+) or Tb(3+) approximately 100-fold more strongly than N-terminal. Aromatic residue-sensitized Tb(3+) energy transfer suggested that site IV bond to Tb(3+) or Ca(2+) more strongly than site III. Based on fluorescence titration curves, we reckoned the conditional binding constants of EoCen site IV quantitatively to be K(IV)=(1.23+/-0.51)x10(8)M(-1) and K(IV)=(6.82+/-0.33)x10(5)M(-1) with Tb(3+) and Ca(2+), respectively. Metal ions bond to EoCen in the order of IV>III>II, I.     

铽(Ⅲ)与PvdA作用的光谱研究

Spectroscopic studies of interactions involving horseradish peroxidase and Tb3+

The spectroscopic properties of interactions involving horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and Tb(3+) in the simulated physiological solution was investigated with some electrochemical and spectroscopic methods, such as cyclic voltammetry (CV), circular dichroism (CD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and synchronous fluorescence (SF). It was found that Tb(3+) can coordinate with oxygen atoms in carbonyl groups in the peptide chain of HRP, form the complex of Tb(3+) and HRP (Tb-HRP), and then lead to the conformation change of HRP. The increase in the random coil content of HRP can disturb the microstructure of the heme active center of HRP, in which the planarity of the porphyrin cycle in the heme group is increased and then the exposure extent of the electrochemical active center is decreased. Thus Tb(3+) can inhibit the electrochemical reaction of HRP and its electrocatalytic activity for the reduction of H(2)O(2) at the Au/Cys/GC electrode. The changes in the microstructure of HRP obstructed the electron transfer of Fe(III) in the porphyrin cycle of the heme group, thus HRP catalytic activity is inhibited. The inhibition effect of Tb(3+) on HRP catalytic activity is increased with the increasing of Tb(3+) concentration. This study would provide some references for better understanding the rare earth elements and heavy metals on peroxidase toxicity in living organisms.

Study of the effect of ligands on the fluorescence properties of terbium ternary complexes

Four ternary complexes of Tb(III) were synthesized by introducing the first ligand (L₁) (N-phenylanthranilic acid (N-HPA), α-furoic acid (FURA)) and the second ligand (L₂) (1,10-phenanthroline (Phen), 2,2′-dipyridyl (Bipy)), respectively. These complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, infrared spectra, XRD, UV spectra and fluorescence spectra. The effect of L₁ and L₂ on the fluorescence properties of terbium complexes was discussed. It showed that all the complexes exhibited ligand-sensitized green emission. The fluorescent intensity increased in the sequence of Tb(FURA)₃Bipy < Tb(N-PA)₃Phen < Tb(FURA)₃Phen < Tb(N-PA)₃Bipy. It indicated that L₁ affected fluorescence properties of the complexes differently when the corresponding L₂ altered. Meanwhile, the influence of L₂ on the luminescence properties of the complexes also depends on L₁. The results showed that L₁ and L₂ affected each other and worked together as a whole. The matching of L₁, L₂ and Tb³⁺ ion is very important to the luminescence properties of Tb(III) ternary complexes.

Polyol-mediated solvothermal synthesis and luminescence properties of CeF3, and CeF3:Tb nanocrystals

CeF₃ and CeF₃:Tb³⁺ nanocrystals were successfully synthesized through a facile and effective polyol-mediated route with ethylene glycol (EG) as solvent. Various experimental techniques including X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), and photoluminescence (PL) spectra as well as decay dynamics were used to characterize the samples. The results indicated that the content of NH₄F and reactant concentrations were key factors in the product shape and size. Excessive NH₄F was necessary for the formation of hexagonal nanoplates. The specific morphology of product can be controlled by changing the NH₄F content and reactant concentrations. In addition, Tb³⁺ doped-CeF₃ sample shows strong green emission centered at 544 nm corresponding to the ⁵D₄-⁷F₅ transition of Tb³⁺. Due to the decrease of nonradiative decay rate, the lifetime of ⁵D₄ level of Tb³⁺ become longer gradually upon increasing the size of product.

Synthesis and spectral characteristics of Sr2Y8(SiO4)6O2: Eu polycrystals

Spectral-luminescent characteristics of Sr₂Y₈(SiO₄)₆O₂: Eu powder crystal phosphor with the apatite structure and high-intensity luminescence of Eu³⁺ ions have been studied. The charge state of europium in the samples has been characterized by means of X-ray L₃-adsorption spectroscopy. It was established that Eu³⁺ forms two types of optical centers. Besides, luminescence of Eu²⁺ions was found. Reduction Eu³⁺→Eu²⁺ was considered, which may be due to vacancy formation in the 4f crystal lattice position and to negative charge transfer by this vacancy to two ions. Thus, in the silicate lattice there exist inhomogeneously distributed oxygen-deficient centers, which are responsible for nonradiative transfer of excitation energy to Eu³⁺ and Eu²⁺ ions. To study electron-vibrational interactions in the crystal phosphor samples, their IR and Raman spectra were examined. In the luminescence spectrum of Eu²⁺, a series of low-intensity bands caused by interaction of the 4f⁶5d state of Eu²⁺ with silicate lattice vibrations was observed.     

Optical spectroscopy of europium 3,5-dinitrosalicylates—Intense red luminophores

It was found, that alkali metal-europium dinitrosalicylates of composition M₃Eu(3,5-NO₂-Sal)₃·nH₂O (M = Li, Na, K, Cs) are intense red luminophores with wide excitation band. Using methods of optical spectroscopy we studied the influence of nitrogroups and alkali metal counterions on Eu³⁺ luminescence efficiency and on processes of excitation energy transfer to Eu³⁺ ion in compounds synthesized. The Eu³⁺ luminescence and Eu³⁺ luminescence excitation spectra, as well as vibrational IR and Raman spectra were investigated. Details of the structure of compounds were discussed. The network of hydrogen bonds in lanthanide dinitrosalicylates is weakening at introduction of large alkali metal ions in compounds and at the increase of the temperature. As a consequence, the long-wavelength shift of the intraligand charge transfer (ILCT) band in Eu³⁺ excitation spectra arises at inclusion of Cs⁺ cations instead of Li⁺ in the crystal lattice of europium dinitrosalicylates and at heating of these compounds. To obtain the energy of the lowest excited triplet state the phosphorescence spectra of alkali metal-gadolinium compounds M₃Gd(3,5-NO₂-Sal)₃·nH₂O, of alkali metal dinitrosalicylate and salicylate salts were measured with time delay. Change of the energies of ligand electronic states and ligand–metal charge transfer state (LM CTS) can give a two-three orders of magnitude enhancement of the Eu³⁺ luminescence efficiency in dinitrosalicylates in comparison with salicylates and ten-fold enhancement at the substitution of Li⁺ and Na⁺ for Cs⁺ in dinitrosalicylates.     

Si5P6O25∶Tb3+的结构与荧光性质

Tb³⁺ ions were incorporated in P-Si matrix material through a sol-gel process. Luminescence properties of Tb³⁺ as a function of dopant， firing temperature， composition and structure of matrices were investigated. The gels synthesized by the reaction of P₂O₅ or H₃PO₄ with tetraethoxy silane and TbCl₃ as dopant were fired in air from the temperature 25～1000℃ to form P-Si crystalline phase. The crystal structure was determined by powder X-ray diffraction. Si₅O(PO₄)₆ were the only crystalline phase and belong to hexagonal crystal system. The emission of ⁵D₄-⁷F₅(～545nm) transition of Tb³⁺ in the P-Si system is composed of two peaks. The amount of doping Tb³⁺ varied from 0.664% to 1.644%， and no obvious concentration quenching was observed in this doping concentra-tion range. The intensity of Tb³⁺ emission increased with firing temperature increasing and becomes stable at 800～1000℃.

Two ternary solid complexes， Tb³⁺ (Eu³⁺)-ciprofloxacina-acetylacetone， have been synthesied and chara-cterized by elemental analysis， IR. Ciprofloxacina is one kind of bacteriophage containing α-carbonyl carboxylic acid configurayion and acetylacetone contains β-diketonate configurayion. They are the ideal ligands for Tb³⁺ and Eu³⁺. The fluorescence spectra of Tb³⁺ and Eu³⁺ complexes showed that the ligands were suitable for efficient energy transfer from ligands to the Tb³⁺ or Eu³⁺ ion with a high fluorescence quantum yield， large stoke shift， narrow emission bonds and large fluorescence lifetime. So the complexes were the new kind of solid fluorescence materials. Moreover， the mechanisms of the fluorescence of Tb³⁺ (Eu³⁺)-ciprofloxacina-acetylacetone ternary solid complex were investigated.

Effect of Ce<Superscript>3+</Superscript> on spectral characteristic of D1/D2/Cytb559 complex from spinach

It was studied by spectroscopy that PSII reaction center complex consisting of three polypeptides, D₁, D₂ and Cytb559, were purified from PSII particle of CeCl₃ treated spinach. The results of the experiment show that Ce³⁺ could improve the growth of spinach, and accelerate electron transport of PSII particles. Of chl-a of UV-Vis spectrum of D1/D2/Cytb559 complex, Soret band was blue-shifted by 3 nm and Q band by 2 nm, respectively, and the fluorescence emission peak was blue-shifted by 5 nm in CeCl₃-treated spinach compared with the one in control. By the extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy methods, it has been found that Ce³⁺ is coordinated with 8 nitrogen atoms in the first coordination shell with Ce-N bond length of 0.253 nm, and Ce³⁺ with 6 oxygen atoms in the second coordination shell with Ce-O bond length of 0.32 nm. However, the secondary structure of D1/D2/Cytb559 complex by circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy has no significant change after CeCl₃ treated. It might be that Ce³⁺ binds to porphyrin rings of chlorophyll and oxygen of amino acid residue of polypeptide in D1/D2/Cytb559 complex, and then accelerates the primary reaction of PSII, intensifies function of P680⁺ primary electron donor of D1/D2/Cytb559, but there is little change in conformation of PSII reaction center complex.
