Fluorescence properties of hog kidney aminoacylase I.
The state of the tryptophan residues of porcine kidney aminoacylase I (EC 3.5.1.14) was investigated by fluorescence spectroscopy and chemical modification. The pH-dependence of the fluorescence emission spectrum of the enzyme indicates that its native conformation prevails between pH 6 and 9.5. Within this range, the ionization of a residue with an apparent pKa of 7.1 quenches the enzyme fluor...
متن کاملThermal denaturation of A-DNA
The DNA molecule can take various conformational forms. Investigations focus mainly on the so-called ‘B-form’, schematically drawn in the famous paper by Watson and Crick [1]. This is the usual form of DNA in a biological environment and is the only form that is stable in an aqueous environment. Other forms, however, can teach us much about DNA. They have the same nucleotide base pairs for ‘bui...
متن کاملProtonated polynucleotide structures. I. The thermal denaturation of polycytidylic acid in acid solution.
Polycytidylic acid is known to form a double-stranded helical structure that is different from either the A or the B form of DNA. X-ray diffraction studies' indicate the structure to be that of a helix similar to that of poly A,2 with the difference being that only one shared proton is bound between the two cytosine residues, this proton forming a third hydrogen bond (Fig. 1). The two protons i...
متن کاملAminoacylase I deficiency: a novel inborn error of metabolism.
This is the first report of a patient with aminoacylase I deficiency. High amounts of N-acetylated amino acids were detected by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry in the urine, including the derivatives of serine, glutamic acid, alanine, methionine, glycine, and smaller amounts of threonine, leucine, valine, and isoleucine. NMR spectroscopy confirmed these findings and, in addition, showed th...
متن کاملThe Regulatory Subunit of PKA-I Remains Partially Structured and Undergoes β-Aggregation upon Thermal Denaturation
BACKGROUND The regulatory subunit (R) of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) is a modular flexible protein that responds with large conformational changes to the binding of the effector cAMP. Considering its highly dynamic nature, the protein is rather stable. We studied the thermal denaturation of full-length RIα and a truncated RIα(92-381) that contains the tandem cyclic nucleotide binding (C...
