Excitonic interactions in wild-type and mutant PSI reaction centers.
Femtosecond excitation of the red edge of the chlorophyll a Q(Y) transition band in photosystem I (PSI), with light of wavelength > or = 700 nm, leads to wide transient (subpicosecond) absorbance changes: positive DeltaA between 635 and 665 nm, and four negative DeltaA bands at 667, 675, 683, and 695 nm. Here we compare the transient absorbance changes after excitation at 700, 705, and 710 nm a...
متن کاملElectrostatic interactions in wild-type and mutant recombinant human myoglobins.
Residue Val68 in human myoglobin has been replaced by Asn, Asp, and Glu with site-directed mutagenesis. Purified proteins were characterized by isoelectric focusing and by absorption, CD, and NMR spectroscopy. These studies demonstrated that Mb is able to tolerate substitution of the buried hydrophobic residue Val68 by Asn, Asp, and Glu. In the metaquo derivatives of the Glu and Asp mutants, th...
متن کاملMolecular Docking and In Silico Study of Denileukin Diftitox: Comparison of Wild Type With C519S-Mutant
Background: Denileukin diftitox (trade name, Ontak) is the first recombinant immunotoxin (IM), in which the binding domain of diphtheria toxin has been replaced by the amino acid sequence of human interleukin-2 (DT389IL-2) using genetic engineering. Purity, stability, and structural property of the protein are critical factors for the scale-up production of this fusion protein. In this IM, loca...
متن کاملPorphyrin interactions with wild-type and mutant mouse ferrochelatase.
Ferrochelatase (EC 4.99.1.1), the terminal enzyme of the heme biosynthetic pathway, catalyzes Fe(2+) chelation into protoporphyrin IX. Resonance Raman and UV-vis absorption spectroscopies of wild-type and engineered variants of murine ferrochelatase were used to examine the proposed structural mechanism for iron insertion into porphyrin. The recombinant variants (i.e., H207N and E287Q) are enzy...
متن کاملFluorescence Decay Kinetics of Wild Type and D2-H117N Mutant Photosystem II Reaction Centers Isolated from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii
We compare the chlorophyll fluorescence decay kinetics of the wild type and the D2-H117N mutant photosystem II reaction centers isolated from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. The histidine residue located at site 117 on the D2 polypeptide of photosystem II is a proposed binding site for one of two peripheral accessory chlorophylls located in the reaction center complex. The peripheral accessory chlor...
