Effect of metal ions (Li+, Na+, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, and Zn2+) and water coordination on the structure of glycine and zwitterionic glycine

Interactions between metal ions and amino acids are common both in solution and in the gas phase. Here, the effect of metal ions and water on the structure of glycine is examined. The effect of metal ions (Li+, Na+, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, and Zn2+) and water on structures of Gly.Mn+(H2O)m and GlyZwitt.Mn+(H2O)m (m = 0, 2, 5) complexes have been determined theoretically by employing the hybrid B3LYP exchange-correlation functional and using extended basis sets. Selected calculations were carried out also by means of CBS-QB3 model chemistry. The interaction enthalpies, entropies, and Gibbs energies of eight complexes Gly.Mn+ (Mn+ = Li+, Na+, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, and Zn2+) were determined at the B3LYP density functional level of theory. The computed Gibbs energies DeltaG degrees are negative and span a rather broad energy interval (from -90 to -1100 kJ mol(-1)), meaning that the ions studied form strong complexes. The largest interaction Gibbs energy (-1076 kJ mol(-1)) was computed for the NiGly2+ complex. Calculations of the molecular structure and relative stability of the Gly.Mn+(H2O)m and GlyZwitt.Mn+(H2O)m (Mn+ = Li+, Na+, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, and Zn2+; m = 0, 2, and 5) systems indicate that in the complexes with monovalent metal cations the most stable species are the NO coordinated metal cations in non-zwitterionic glycine. Divalent cations Mg2+, Ca2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, and Zn2+ prefer coordination via the OO bifurcated bonds of the zwitterionic glycine. Stepwise addition of two and five water molecules leads to considerable changes in the relative stability of the hydrated species. Addition of two water molecules at the metal ion in both Gly.Mn+ and GlyZwitt.Mn+ complexes reduces the relative stability of metallic complexes of glycine. For Mn+ = Li+ or Na+, the addition of five water molecules does not change the relative order of stability. In the Gly.K+ complex, the solvation shell of water molecules around K+ ion has, because of the larger size of the potassium cation, a different structure with a reduced number of hydrogen-bonded contacts. This results in a net preference (by 10.3 kJ mol(-1)) of the GlyZwitt.K+H2O5 system. Addition of five water molecules to the glycine complexes containing divalent cations Mg2+, Ca2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, and Zn2+ results in a net preference for non-zwitterionic glycine species. The computed relative Gibbs energies are quite high (-10 to -38 kJ mol(-1)), and the NO coordination is preferred in the Gly.Mn+(H2O)5 (Mn+ = Mg2+, Ca2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, and Zn2+) complexes over the OO coordination.     

Development and applications of fluorescent indicators for Mg2+ and Zn2+

In a study of the spectroscopic behavior of two Schiff base derivatives, salicylaldehyde salicylhydrazone (1) and salicylaldehyde benzoylhydrazone (2), Schiff base 1 has high selectivity for Zn(2+) ion not only in abiotic systems but also in living cells. The ion selectivity of 1 for Zn(2+) can be switched for Mg(2+) by swapping the solvent from ethanol-water to DMF (N,N-dimethylformamide)-water mixtures. Imine 2 is a good fluorescent probe for Zn(2+) in ethanol-water media. Many other ions tested, such as Li(+), Na(+), Al(3+), K(+), Ca(2+), Cr(3+), Mn(2+), Fe(3+), Co(2+), Ni(2+), Cu(2+), Ag(+), Cd(2+), Sn(2+), Ba(2+), Hg(2+), and Pb(2+), failed to induce any spectral change in various solvents. The selectivity mechanism of 1 and 2 for metal ions is based on a combinational effect of proton transfer (ESPT), C═N isomerization, and chelation-enhanced fluorescence (CHEF). The coordination modes of the complexes were investigated.     

Simultaneous detection of [metal(II)-tpen]2+ as kinetically inert cationic complexes using pre-capillary derivatization electrophoresis: an application to biological samples

A high resolution of doubly charged first row transition (Fe, Cu, Zn, Ni, Co, Mn) and heavy metal (Pb, Cd, Hg) ions was achieved in capillary electrophoresis (CE) with high sensitivity (sub-micromol dm(-3) level), using NN,N'N'-tetrakis(2-pyridylmethyl)ethylenediamine (TPEN) as a pre-capillary derivatizing agent. The non-charged reagent, TPEN, was applied to capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) for the first time. Since complete spatial separation between the complexes and the ligand was carried out in a carrier buffer, which was free of TPEN, kinetic inertness of metal complexes was necessary for the detection in this pre-capillary method. All the nine listed metal complexes were detected: Ca(2+), Mg(2+), Al(3+), Fe(3+), and Co(3+) complexes were undetectable. This, interestingly, suggests that those nine cations form kinetically inert tpen complexes without strong charge-charge interactions between the metal ion and the ligand. It is expected that the hard-soft-acid-base (HSAB) principle governed the kinetics selectivity. With respect to the electrophoretic behavior, the addition of chloride ion and methanol to the carrier significantly improved the resolution. This is due to the formation of ternary complexes or ion aggregates and the solvation effect, respectively. These effects provided a satisfactory baseline resolution among the nine metal ions. An application to biological samples was demonstrated. Some metal ions in human serum and urine were successfully detected in a simple process without the need for deproteinization using a non-coated fused-silica capillary because of the differenciation in the direction of migration between organic matter and complexes.     

Analyzing coordination preferences of Mg2+ complexes: insights from computational and database study

Solvation of metal cations has attracted substantial interest on account of its functional importance in biological systems. In the present study, we undertake a comprehensive analysis of hydrated complexes of Mg²⁺ with up to 20 water molecules using MP2/cc-pVTZ and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The effect of first, second, and higher solvation shells on magnesium coordination has been systematically analyzed by considering Mg²⁺(H₂O) _n complexes. Numerous competing conformations for each of the metal ion complexes have been explored and the minima structures obtained were further analyzed. The study probes the relative preferences among various coordination numbers and unambiguously establishes that coordination number 6 is the most optimal choice. The relative abundance of Mg²⁺ ion and its coordination with water and other ligands has been analyzed in the Protein Data Bank and Cambridge Structural Database. It is noted that the M–O distance and charge transfer to metal ion increase as the number of solvating water molecules increases. The computational studies are in excellent agreement with the experimental observations, and provide support to multiple coordinate site preferences for Mg²⁺.

OFF-OFF-ON switching of fluorescence and electron transfer depending on stepwise complex formation of a host ligand with guest metal ions

Stepwise complex formation is observed between 2,3,5,6-tetrakis(2-pyridyl)pyrazine (TPPZ) and a series of metal ions (M(n+) = Sc3+, Y3+, Ho3+, Eu3+, Lu3+, Nd3+, Zn2+, Mg2+, Ca2+, Ba2+, Sr2+, Li+), where TPPZ forms a 2:1 complex [(TPPZ)2-M(n+)] and a 1:1 complex [TPPZ-M(n+)] with Mn+ at low and high concentrations of metal ions, respectively. The fluorescence intensity of TPPZ begins to increase at high concentrations of metal ions, when the 2:1 (TPPZ)2-M(n+) complex is converted to the fluorescent 1:1 TPPZ-M(n+) complex. This is regarded as an "OFF-OFF-ON" fluorescence sensor for metal ions depending on the stepwise complex formation between TPPZ and metal ions. The fluorescence quantum yields of the TPPZ-M(n+) complex vary depending on the metal valence state, in which the fluorescence quantum yields of the divalent metal complexes (TPPZ-M2+) are much larger than those of the trivalent metal complexes (TPPZ-M3+). On the other hand, the binding constants of (TPPZ)2-M(n+) (K1) and TPPZ-M(n+) (K2) vary depending on the Lewis acidity of metal ions (i.e., both K1 and K2 values increase with increasing Lewis acidity of metal ions). Sc3+, which acts as the strongest Lewis acid, forms the (TPPZ)2-Sc3+ and TPPZ-Sc3+ complexes stoichiometrically with TPPZ. In such a case, "OFF-OFF-ON" switching of electron transfer from cobalt(II) tetraphenylporphyrin (CoTPP) to O2 is observed in the presence of Sc3+ and TPPZ depending on the ratio of Sc3+ to TPPZ. Electron transfer from CoTPP to O2 occurs at Sc3+ concentrations above the 1:2 ratio ([Sc3+]/[TPPZ]0 > 0.5), when the (TPPZ)2-Sc3+ complex is converted to the TPPZ-Sc3+ complex and TPPZ-(Sc3+)2, which act as promoters of electron transfer (ON) by the strong binding of O2*- with Sc3+. In sharp contrast, no electron transfer occurs without metal ion (OFF) or in the presence at Sc3+ concentrations below the 1:2 ratio (OFF), when the (TPPZ)2-Sc3+ complex has no binding site available for O2*-.

Fluorescence sensing and binding behavior of aminobenzenesulfonamidoquinolino-beta-cyclodextrin to Zn2+

A water-soluble fluorescent zinc sensor which binds strongly to Zn2+ (log K = 12.4) was successfully synthesized under physiological conditions. This sensor exhibits a good fluorescence response to Zn2+ over a wide pH range in water. Under the same conditions, several metal ions commonly present in a physiological environment, such as Na+, K+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Mn2+, Fe2+, and Co2+, showed little interference to the fluorescence response to Zn2+.

Role of Mg2+ in hammerhead ribozyme catalysis from molecular simulation

Molecular dynamics simulations have been performed to investigate the role of Mg2+ in the full-length hammerhead ribozyme cleavage reaction. In particular, the aim of this work is to characterize the binding mode and conformational events that give rise to catalytically active conformations and stabilization of the transition state. Toward this end, a series of eight 12 ns molecular dynamics simulations have been performed with different divalent metal binding occupations for the reactant, early and late transition state using recently developed force field parameters for metal ions and reactive intermediates in RNA catalysis. In addition, hybrid QM/MM calculations of the early and late transition state were performed to study the proton-transfer step in general acid catalysis that is facilitated by the catalytic Mg2+ ion. The simulations suggest that Mg2+ is profoundly involved in the hammerhead ribozyme mechanism both at structural and catalytic levels. Binding of Mg2+ in the active site plays a key structural role in the stabilization of stem I and II and to facilitate formation of near attack conformations and interactions between the nucleophile and G12, the implicated general base catalyst. In the transition state, Mg2+ binds in a bridging position where it stabilizes the accumulated charge of the leaving group while interacting with the 2'OH of G8, the implicated general acid catalyst. The QM/MM simulations provide support that, in the late transition state, the 2'OH of G8 can transfer a proton to the leaving group while directly coordinating the bridging Mg2+ ion. The present study provides evidence for the role of Mg2+ in hammerhead ribozyme catalysis. The proposed simulation model reconciles the interpretation of available experimental structural and biochemical data, and provides a starting point for more detailed investigation of the chemical reaction path with combined QM/MM methods.     

Effect of Mn2+, Co2+, Ni2+, and Cu2+ on horseradish peroxidase: activation,inhibition, and denaturation studies

The effects of transition metal ions (M2+) such as Mn2+, Co2+, Ni2+, and Cu2+ on the functional and structural stabilities of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) were investigated with respect to reversible chemical denaturation, Michaelis-Menten kinetics, chemical modification and time-dependent catalytic activity. Conformational Gibbs free energy (deltaGo(H2O)) as a structural stability criterion and transition concentrations of metal ions ([M2+] 1/2) were estimated using a two-state chemical denaturation model. Activation and inhibitory concentration ranges for each metal ion were specified by the steady-state enzyme kinetics. Results of a pH-profile method confirmed by chemical modification indicate that a histidine residue interacts in the activation concentration range, whereas carboxylic residues (Asp and Glu) contribute to interaction in the inhibitory concentration range. Incubation of the enzyme with the metal ion at activation concentration leads to long-term functional stability of peroxidase. Thus, such metal ions as potent effectors induced the enhancement of conformational and functional stabilities of horseradish peroxidase.     

Unimolecular reactions of dihydrated alkaline earth metal dications M2+(H2O)2, M = Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, and Ba: salt-bridge mechanism in the proton-transfer reaction M2+(H2O)2 --> MOH+ + H3O

The unimolecular reactivity of M(2+)(H(2)O)(2), M = Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, and Ba, is investigated by density functional theory. Dissociation of the complex occurs either by proton transfer to form singly charged metal hydroxide, MOH(+), and protonated water, H(3)O(+), or by loss of water to form M(2+)(H(2)O) and H(2)O. Charge transfer from water to the metal forming H(2)O(+) and M(+)(H(2)O) is not favorable for any of the metal complexes. The relative energetics of these processes are dominated by the metal dication size. Formation of MOH(+) proceeds first by one water ligand moving to the second solvation shell followed by proton transfer to this second-shell water molecule and subsequent Coulomb explosion. These hydroxide formation reactions are exothermic with activation energies that are comparable to the water binding energy for the larger metals. This results in a competition between proton transfer and loss of a water molecule. The arrangement with one water ligand in the second solvation shell is a local minimum on the potential energy surface for all metals except Be. The two transition states separating this intermediate from the reactant and the products are identified. The second transition state determines the height of the activation barrier and corresponds to a M(2+)-OH(-)-H(3)O(+) "salt-bridge" structure. The computed B3LYP energy of this structure can be quantitatively reproduced by a simple ionic model in which Lewis charges are localized on individual atoms. This salt-bridge arrangement lowers the activation energy of the proton-transfer reaction by providing a loophole on the potential energy surface for the escape of H(3)O(+). Similar salt-bridge mechanisms may be involved in a number of proton-transfer reactions in small solvated metal ion complexes, as well as in other ionic reactions.     

Role of Mg2+ and Ca2+ in DNA bending: evidence from an ONIOM-based QM-MM study of a DNA fragment

The binding of hydrated Mg2+ and Ca2+ ions with a DNA fragment containing two phosphate groups, three sugar units, and a G.C base pair is modeled in the anion and dianion states using a three-layer ONIOM approach. A monodentate binding mode was the most stable structure observed for both the ions in the anion model. However, the interactions of Mg2+ and Ca2+ with the dianion model of the DNA fragment gave rise to a large structural deformation at the base pair region, leading to the formation of "ring" structures. In both anion and dianion models, Mg2+-bound structures were considerably more stable than the corresponding Ca2+-bound structures. This feature and the formation of ring structures in the dianion models strongly supported the higher coordination power of the Mg2+ toward DNA systems for its compaction. The charge of the DNA fragment appeared to be crucial in deciding the binding strength as well as the binding mechanism of the metal ions. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first theoretical investigation of the interaction of a comparatively larger DNA model system with the biologically important Mg2+ and Ca2+ ions.     

Divalent metal ion-peptide interactions probed by electron capture dissociation of trications

Electron capture dissociation (ECD) of the peptide Substance P (SubP) complexed with divalent metals has been investigated. ECD of [SubP + H + M]3+ (M2+ = Mg2+ -Ba2+ and Mn2+ -Zn2+) allowed observation of a larger number of product ions than previous investigations of doubly charged metal-containing peptides. ECD of Mg-Ba, Mn, Fe, and Zn-containing complexes resulted in product ions with and without the metal from cleavage of backbone amine bonds (c' and z* -type ions). By contrast, ECD of Co and Ni-containing complexes yielded major bond cleavages within the C-terminal methionine residue (likely to be the metal ion binding site). Cu-containing complexes displayed yet another behavior: amide bond cleavage (b and y'-type ions). We believe some results can be rationalized both within the hot hydrogen atom mechanism and mechanisms involving electron capture into excited states, such as the recently proposed amide superbase mechanism. However, some behavior, including formation of (cn 'M - H)+ ions for Ca-Ba, is best explained within the latter mechanisms with initial electron capture at the metal. In addition, the ECD behavior appears to correlate with the metal second ionization energy (IE2). Co and Ni (displaying sequestered fragmentation) have IE2s of 17.1 and 18.2 eV, respectively, whereas IE2s for Mg-Ba, Mn, and Fe (yielding random cleavage) are 10.0 to 16.2 eV. This behavior is difficult to explain within the hot hydrogen atom mechanism because hydrogen transfer should not be influenced by IE2s. However, the drastically different fragmentation patterns for Co, Ni, and Cu compared to the other metals can also be explained by their higher propensity for nitrogen (as opposed to oxygen) binding. Nevertheless, these results imply that directed fragmentation can be accomplished via careful selection of the cationizing agent.

Comparison of structural,thermodynamic, kinetic and mass transport properties of Mg2+ ion models commonly used in biomolecular simulations

The prevalence of Mg²⁺ ions in biology and their essential role in nucleic acid structure and function has motivated the development of various Mg²⁺ ion models for use in molecular simulations. Currently, the most widely used models in biomolecular simulations represent a nonbonded metal ion as an ion‐centered point charge surrounded by a nonelectrostatic pairwise potential that takes into account dispersion interactions and exchange effects that give rise to the ion's excluded volume. One strategy toward developing improved models for biomolecular simulations is to first identify a Mg²⁺ model that is consistent with the simulation force fields that closely reproduces a range of properties in aqueous solution, and then, in a second step, balance the ion–water and ion–solute interactions by tuning parameters in a pairwise fashion where necessary. The present work addresses the first step in which we compare 17 different nonbonded single‐site Mg²⁺ ion models with respect to their ability to simultaneously reproduce structural, thermodynamic, kinetic and mass transport properties in aqueous solution. None of the models based on a 12‐6 nonelectrostatic nonbonded potential was able to reproduce the experimental radial distribution function, solvation free energy, exchange barrier and diffusion constant. The models based on a 12‐6‐4 potential offered improvement, and one model in particular, in conjunction with the SPC/E water model, performed exceptionally well for all properties. The results reported here establish useful benchmark calculations for Mg²⁺ ion models that provide insight into the origin of the behavior in aqueous solution, and may aid in the development of next‐generation models that target specific binding sites in biomolecules. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Effective solvation of alkaline earth ions by proline-rich proteolytic peptides of galectin-3 upon electrospray ionisation

In an analysis of a combined chymotrypsin/AspN digest of galectin-3 by positive ion nano-electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry (nanoESI-MS) several peptides were observed which showed metal adduct ions as their most abundant ion signals. The most prominent adduct ions were observed at m/z values corresponding to [M+40]2+, [M+41]3+, and [M+42]4+ ions. Detailed investigation of the [M+40]2+ ion of the peptide GAPAGPLIVPY showed that it was not, as originally expected, a [M+H+39K]2+ adduct ion but had the composition [M+40Ca]2+. This was verified by several approaches: (i) nanoESI-MS/MS of the [M+Ca]2+ adduct ions resulted in the virtually exclusive formation of doubly charged fragment ions; (ii) mass determination by quadrupole time-of-flight (QTOF)-MS provided a preliminary identification; and (iii) accurate mass measurement using nanoESI Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FTICR)-MS at a mass resolving power of 500 000 allowed the specific detection and identification of the isobaric ion pairs [M+40Ca]2+/[M+H+39K]2+ and [M+24Mg]2+/[M+H+23Na]2+. All peptides in the chymotryptic galectin-3 digest without a basic residue (K or R) showed addition of calcium as the most prominent ionisation principle. A further common feature of these nonbasic peptides was the presence of several proline residues, which is assumed to be a factor promoting the intense addition of calcium. It was observed that the common trace levels of sodium and calcium in analytical grade solvents (about 1-10 microM) are sufficient to generate the [M+H+23Na]2+ and [M+40Ca]2+ ions as the most prominent species of the peptide GAPAGPLIVPY. We conclude that the sequence motifs P-XX-P and P-XXX-P favour the solvation of alkaline earth ions in ESI-MS. In view of the successful detection of physiological Ca/protein interactions by ESI-MS, this finding may point to a solvation of Ca2+ by galectin in solution. The findings open new routes of research in the study of metal/protein and metal/peptide interactions
