Clean SEA-TROSY Experiments to Map Solvent Exposed Amides in Large Proteins

It is well known that the SEA-TROSY experiment could alleviate some of the problems of resonance overlap in ^15N/^2H labeled proteins as it was designed to selectively map solvent exposed amide protons. However, SEATROSY spectra may be contaminated with exchange-relayed NOE contributions from fast exchanged hydroxyl or amine protons and contributions from longitudinal relaxation. Also, perdeuteration of the protein sample is a prerequisite for this experiment. In this communication, a modified version, clean SEA-TROSY, was proposed to eliminate these artifacts and to allow the experiment to be applied to protonated or partially deuterated proteins and protein complexes.     

Competitive Adsorption between Bovine Serum Albumin and Collagen Observed by Atomic Force Microscope

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) was used to study the competitive adsorption between bovine serum albumin (BSA) and type I collagen on hydrophilic and hydrophobic silicon wafers. BSA showed a grain shape and the type I collagen displayed fibril-like molecules with relatively homogeneous height and width, characterized with clear twisting (helical formation). These AFM images illustrated that quite a lot of type I collagen appeared in the adsorption layer on hydrophilic surface in a competitive adsorption state, but the adsorption of BSA was more preponderant than that of type I collagen on hydrophobic silicon wafer surface. The experiments showed that the influence of BSA on type I collagen adsorption on hydrophilic surface was less than that on hydrophobic surface.

(α/β)8桶状蛋白质中紧密接触对的统计性质研究

在计算蛋白质分子中的氨基酸紧密接触对时采用以氨基酸的重心代替C^α原子的新方法，通过计算（α/β）8桶状蛋白质中的中程和远程紧密接触对的数目，研究了不同氨基酸在形成紧密接触对时所具有的不同能力以及在蛋白质结构稳定性中所起的不同作用．发现在（α/β）8桶状蛋白质中氨基酸形成的远程紧密接触对数目与它的Fauchere—Pliska疏水性实验数值(FPH)存在着非常好的线性关系，而对于氨基酸所形成的中程紧密接触对数目不存在这种关系．同时还研究了（α/β）8桶状蛋白质分子大小，发现其回转半径大小与表示远程接触对数目的远程次序值LRO存在着关系．表明这一类（α/β）8桶状蛋白质具有相似的结构，分子的远程接触对数目越多，分子越紧密，分子尺寸就越小．同时还研究了不同氨基酸之间形成紧密接触对的能力．     

铽(Ⅲ)与PvdA作用的光谱研究

Pyoverdine A(PvdA)是荧光假单胞菌分泌的一种水溶性较高的黄绿色荧光铁载体。在50 mmol·L-1Tris-HCl,pH 8.0条件下,使用紫外-可见吸收差光谱、荧光光谱研究了铽(Ⅲ)与荧光铁载体PvdA的结合。结果表明铽(Ⅲ)可与PvdA结合形成1:1的配合物,条件结合常数为(4.44±0.82)×1014mol-1·L。在生理条件下,PvdA可竞争伴清蛋白N-,C-端结合的铽(Ⅲ)形成Tb-PvdA配合物;Tb-PvdA与荧光假单胞菌细胞表面受体FpvA结合形成Tb-PvdA-FpvA复合物。
