1H 2D-NMR characterization of Ni(II)-substituted azurin fromPseudomonas aeruginosa

1 H two-dimemional NMR experiments on nickel(II)-substituted azurin have been succesfully applied. Despite the short relaxation time of the hyperfine-shifted resonances, the combined use of NOESY and COSY spectra allowed the alignment of 15 resonances belonging to the metal-coordinated residues Gly-45, His-46, His-117 and Met-121. Even in the case of the two broad and furthest downfield resonances, the NOESY spectra were successful in assigning these signals to the β-CH 2 protons of Cys-112. The protons of the non-coordinated residues Met-13, Phe-15 and Trp-48 were also assigned via NOESY, COSY and TOCSY experiments

1H NMR and UV-vis spectroscopic characterization of sulfonamide complexes of nickek(II)-carbonic anhydrase. Resonance assignments based on NOE effects

The binding of acetazolamide, p-fluorobenzensulfonamide, p-toluenesulfonamide, and sulfanilamide to nickel(II)-substituted carbonic anhydrase II has been studied by 1H NMR and electronic absorption spectroscopies. These inhibitors bind to the metal ion forming 1:1 complexes and their affinity constants were determined. The 1H NMR spectra of the formed complexes show a number of isotropically shifted signals corresponding to the histidine ligands. The complexes with benzene-sulfonamides gave rise to very similar 1H NMR spectra. The NMR data suggest that these aromatic sulfonamides bind to the metal ion altering its coordination sphere. In addition, from the temperature dependence of 1H NMR s…

Two-dimensional 1 H NMR spectra of ferricytochrome c 551 from Pseudomonas aeruginosa

AbstractThe full assignment of 1H NMR signals of heme proton resonances of ferricytochrome c551 from Pseudomonas aeruginosa has been performed by means of 2D NMR experiments. This technique allows the complete and unequivocal assignment of all heme resonances, including methylene resonances of the propionic groups, directly implicated in the pH dependence of the redox properties of cytochrome c551.
