The lobster carapace carotenoprotein, alpha-crustacyanin. A possible role for tryptophan in the bathochromic spectral shift of protein-bound astaxanthin.
Crustacyanin, cross-linked with dimethyl pimelimidate to stabilize the protein against denaturation, was used to test the effects of tryptophan modification with BNPS-skatole [3-bromo-3-methyl-2-(nitrophenylmercaptol)-3H-indole] on the ability of the apoprotein to recombine with astaxanthin. The cross-linked apoprotein re-forms alpha-crustacyanin with astaxanthin in reasonable yield following i...
متن کاملStructural characterization of recombinant crustacyanin subunits from the lobster Homarus americanus.
Crustacean crustacyanin proteins are linked to the production and modification of carapace colour, with direct implications for fitness and survival. Here, the structural and functional properties of the two recombinant crustacyanin subunits H(1) and H(2) from the American lobster Homarus americanus are reported. The two subunits are structurally highly similar to the corresponding natural apo ...
متن کاملOn the origin and variation of colors in lobster carapace.
The chemical basis of the blue-black to pink-orange color change on cooking of lobster, due to thermal denaturation of an astaxanthin-protein complex, α-crustacyanin, in the lobster carapace, has so far been elusive. Here, we investigate the relaxation of the astaxanthin pigment from its bound enolate form to its neutral hydroxyketone form, as origin of the spectral shift, by analyzing the resp...

از محوری ترین اثراتی که یک فیلم سینمایی ایجاد می کند دیالوگ هایی است که هنرپیش گان فیلم میگویند. به زعم یک فیلم ساز, یک شیوه متأثر نمودن مخاطب از اثر منظوره نیروی گفتارهای گوینده, مثل نیروی عاطفی, ترس آور, غم انگیز, هیجان انگیز و غیره, است. این مطالعه به بررسی این مسأله مبادرت کرده است که آیا نیروی فراگفتاری هنرپیش گان به مثابه ی اعمال گفتاری در پنج فیلم هالیوودی در نسخه های دوبله شده باز تولید...
15 صفحه اولAlternative ligands as probes for the carotenoid-binding site of lobster carapace crustacyanin.
The apoproteins of the lobster carotenoprotein, crustacyanin, show single high-affinity binding sites for the hydrophobic fluorescence probes 8-anilo-1-naphthalenesulphonic acid and cis-parinaric acid, and exhibit fluorescence transfer from tryptophan to the ligands. These results, together with information from the amino acid sequences, infer that the native carotenoid, astaxanthin, is bound t...
