Literature estimates of metal-protein affinities are widely scattered for many systems, as highlighted by the class metallo-chaperone proteins, which includes human Atox1. The discrepancies may be attributed to unreliable detection probes and/or inconsistent affinity standards. In this study, application four Cu(I) ligand bicinchoninate, bathocuproine disulfonate, dithiothreitol (Dtt), and glutathione (GSH) is reviewed, their re-estimated unified. Excess bicinchoninate or disulfonate reacts...

Two gas-phase catalytic cycles for the two-electron oxidation of primary and secondary alcohols were detected by multistage mass spectrometry experiments. A binuclear dimolybdate center [Mo2O6(OCHR2)]- acts as catalyst in both these cycles. The first cycle proceeds via three steps: (1) reaction [Mo2O6(OH)]- with alcohol R2HCOH elimination water to form [Mo2O6(OCHR2)]-; (2) alkoxo ligand its aldehyde or ketone rate-determining step; (3) regeneration nitromethane. Step 2 does not occur at room...

The cytosolic C-terminal domain of the membrane copper transporter Ctr1 from yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Ctr1c, was expressed in E. coli as an oxygen-sensitive soluble protein with no significant secondary structure. Visible-UV spectroscopy demonstrated that Ctr1c bound four Cu(I) ions, structurally identified a Cu(I)(4)(micro-S-Cys)(6) cluster by Xray absorption spectroscopy. This only metalated form detected electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. An average dissociation constant...

Bis(thiosemicarbazonato) complexes CuII(Btsc) have attracted interest as promising metallodrugs and, in particular, copper radiopharmaceuticals. Prototypes Cu(Atsm) and Cu(Gtsm) are membrane-permeable, but their metabolisms cells distinctly different: that is delivered by trapped nonselectively all cells, whereas retained selectively hypoxic "washed out" readily normal cells. We studied copper-transfer reactions of these two under various conditions, aiming to model cellular chemistry. In...

Reference potential scales are not generally available in ionic liquids. Consequently, comparison of data with those obtained conventional solvent (electrolyte) media is possible. The process [Co(Cp)2](+/0) (Co(Cp)2 = cobaltocene) has been studied at gold, glassy carbon and platinum macrodisk electrodes to test the feasibility using this redox couple as a voltammetric reference standard liquid 1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([bmim][PF6]). A reversible, one-electron...

CopC is a small soluble protein expressed in the periplasm of Pseudomonas syringae pathovar tomato as part its copper resistance response (cop operon). Equilibrium competition reactions confirmed two separated binding sites with high affinities for CuI (10-7 ≥ KD 10-13 M) and CuII (KD = 10-13(1) M), respectively. While CuI-CopC was converted cleanly by O2 to CuII-CopC, fully loaded form CuICuII-CopC stable air. Variant forms H1F H91F exhibited lower affinity than does wild-type while variant...

CueO from Escherichia coli is a multicopper oxidase (MCO) involved in copper tolerance under aerobic conditions. It features four atoms that act as electron transfer (T1) and dioxygen reduction (T2, T3; trinuclear) sites. In addition, it displays methionine-rich insert which includes helix blocks physical access to the T1 site provides an extra labile T4 adjacent center. This required for function. Like many MCOs, exhibits phenol activity with broad substrate specificity. Maximal model...

Copper plays essential roles in biology, but abnormal interactions are damaging. Reliable quantification of copper–protein will underpin the molecular understanding copper nutrition and toxicity. We have previously established two high affinity probes, Bathocuproine disulfonate (Bcs) Bicinchoninate (Bca) anions, that capable vitro Cu(i) binding with affinities from pico- to atto-molar concentrations. Quantitative probes required for lower proteins peptides typically associated...
