Abstract:
:The complexation of uranium(VI) to variant functional groups of the highly phosphorylated protein phosvitin in aqueous solution was investigated by attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared (ATR FT-IR) spectroscopy. For the verification of the affinity of the actinyl ions to carboxyl and phosphate groups of the amino acid side chains, samples with different phosphate to uranium(VI) (P/U) ratios were investigated under denaturing conditions as well as in aqueous medium. From a comparative study with other heavy metal ions, i.e. Ba(2+) and Pb(2+), a strong coordination of U(VI) to carboxyl and phosphoryl groups can be derived. Furthermore, with increasing P/U ratios, a preferential binding of U(VI) to phosphoryl groups is indicated by the spectra of the batch samples. These findings are confirmed by spectra of aqueous U(VI)-phosvitin complexes reflecting an explicit coordination of the uranyl ions to phosphate groups at a high P/U ratio. Our study provides a deeper insight into the molecular interactions between actinyl ions and protein, and can be conferred to other basic biomolecules such as polysaccharides and nucleic acids.
