Abstract: | The properties of anionic tobacco peroxidase (TOP) adsorbed on graphite electrode have been studied in direct and mediated
electron transfer in a wall-jet flow injection system. The percentage of tobacco peroxidase molecules active in directelectron
transfer is about 83%, which is higher than that for horeradish peroxidase (40–50%). This observation is explained in terms
of the lower degree of glycosylation of TOP compared with horseradish peroxidase and, therefore, a reduced in terference from
the oligosaccharide chains with direct electron transfer. Calcium ions cause an 11% drop in the reaction rate constant toward
hydrogen peroxide. The detection limit of calcium chloride has been estimated as 5 m M. The results obtained by means of bioeletrochemistry, stopped-flow kinetics, and structural modeling provide evidence for
the interaction between calcium cations and negatively charged residues at the distal domain (Glu-141, heme propionates, Asp-79, Asp-80) blocking the activesite. The observation that both soluble and immobilized enzyme under go conformational changes resulting
in the blockade of the active site indicates that the immobilized enzyme preserves conformational flexibility. An even stronger
suppressing effect of calcium ions on the rate constant for mediated electron transfer was observed. In the case of direct
electron transfer, this couldmean that there is nodirect contact between the electrode and the active site of TOP. The electrons
are shuttled from the active site to the surface of the electrode through electron transfer pathways in the protein globule
that are sensitive to protein conformational changes. |
