Changes in poly[d(T-G).d(C-A)] chirality due to Hg(II)-binding: circular dichroism (CD) studies.

Abstract:

:The conformation of poly[d(T-G).d(C-A)] in aqueous solution (0.1 M NaClO4, 5 mM cacodylic acid buffer, pH 6.9) was studied by circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy in the ultraviolet. The conformation of the polynucleotide, as reflected by its chiroptical signature, changes in a highly cooperative fashion in the presence of Hg(ClO4)2. The CD changes signal transitions first from the B to a modified B-state (B*), or to a non-B structure termed X, and finally to a form that is presumably Z. The alterations are totally reversible subsequent to the removal of mercury with the help of a suitable complexing agent such as sodium cyanide, indicating that mercuration does not disrupt Watson-Crick hydrogen bonding to any extent.

  • The axial ligand and extent of protein folding determine whether Zn or Cu binds to amicyanin.

    abstract::M98Q amicyanin is isolated with zinc bound to its type 1 copper-binding site. The influence of the axial ligand of the type 1 copper site on metal specificity is strongest prior to the completion of protein folding and adoption of the final type 1 site geometry. The preference for zinc over copper correlated with the ...
