Application of Co emission Mössbauer spectroscopy to studying biocomplexes in frozen solutions
نویسندگان
چکیده
Emission Mössbauer spectroscopy with the Co isotope was used to study very dilute rapidly frozen aqueous solutions of cobalt(II) complexes with low-molecular-weight biomolecules (aromatic amino acids – anthranilic acid and L-tryptophan) and within a sophisticated biopolymer, bacterial glutamine synthetase, a key enzyme of nitrogen metabolism. The appearance of after-effects of the Co→Fe nuclear transformation as well as the coordination properties of the cation and the ligands in the complexes are discussed on the basis of their Mössbauer parameters.

Application of emission (Co) Mössbauer spectroscopy in bioscience
Cobalt is an essential trace element with a broad range of physiological and biochemical functions. However, biochemical speciation of cobalt and structural investigations of cobalt-containing complexes with biomacromolecules are challenging, as the participation of cobalt in physiological processes is limited by its very low concentrations. Emission Mössbauer spectroscopy (EMS), with the radio...
متن کاملLaboratory Emission, Visible-near Infrared, and Mössbauer Spectroscopy of Iron Sulfates: Application to the Bright Paso Robles Soils in Gusev Crater, Mars
Introduction: The Mars Exploration Rover (MER) in Gusev Crater has exposed in its tracks an unusual occurrence of a soil high in sulfur and high in phosphorus [1, 2] at a site called Paso Robles (Fig. 1). This salty soil is thought to be composed of the following: Fe-, Mg-, and Ca-sulfates; Ca-phosphate; hematite, halite, allophane, and amorphous Si [1]. We are currently studying a large suite ...

متن کاملStudy of an oxygenated heme complex in frozen solution by Mössbauer emission spectroscopy.
We have used Mössbauer emission spectroscopy to study an oxygenated heme complex, produced in a frozen solution by nuclear decay from the isomorphous (57)Co-labeled compound. The Mössbauer parameters agree with those obtained by Mössbauer absorption spectroscopy of oxyhemoglobin. Thus, a nonprotein environment for iron can duplicate the unique oxyhemoglobin Mössbauer spectrum. The electronic st...
