Book excerpt: The trans-polyproline (PII) oligomers (Figure 1) are unusually rigid peptide structures which have been extensively studied by our group for peptide mediated intramolecular electron transfer (ET) at long distances. We have previously studied ET across a series of metal ion donor (D) acceptor (A) oligoproline peptides with different distances, driving forces and reorganizational energies. The majority of these experiments involve generating the ET intermediate using pulse radiolysis methods, although more recently photochemical methods are also used. Results of these studies showed that ET across peptides can vary by more than twelve orders of magnitude. Using ruthenium bipyridine donors, ET reaction rate constants across several proline residues (n = 4 - 9) occurred in the millisecond (ms) to [mu]s timescale, thus limiting the proline peptide conformational motions to only minor changes (far smaller than the large changes that occur on the ms to sec timescale, such as trans to cis proline isomerization). The present report describes our large data base of experimental results for D-peptide-A complexes in terms of a model where the involvement of both superexchange and hopping (hole and electron) mechanisms account for the long range ET rate constants observed. Our data shows that the change from superexchange to hopping mechanisms occurs at different distances depending on the type of D and A and their interactions with the peptides. Our model is also consistent with generalized models for superexchange and hopping which have been put forward by a number of theoretical groups to account for long range ET phenomena.

Book excerpt: Photochemistry (a term that broadly speaking includes photophysics) is abranchofmodernsciencethatdealswiththeinteractionoflightwithmatter and lies at the crossroadsof chemistry, physics, and biology. However, before being a branch of modern science, photochemistry was (and still is today), an extremely important natural phenomenon. When God said: “Let there be light”, photochemistry began to operate, helping God to create the world as wenowknowit.Itislikelythatphotochemistrywasthesparkfortheoriginof life on Earth and played a fundamental role in the evolution of life. Through the photosynthetic process that takes place in green plants, photochemistry is responsible for the maintenance of all living organisms.

Photochemistry as a science is quite young; we only need to go back less than one century to ?nd its early pioneer [1]. The concept of coordination compound is also relatively young; it was established in 1892, when Alfred Werner conceived his theory of metal complexes [2]. Since then, the terms coordination compound and metal complex have been used as synonyms, even if in the last 30 years, coordination chemistry has extended its scope to the binding ofall kinds of substrates [3, 4].

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transition metal ions in biological systems are of interest in biology, biochemistry, chemistry, medicine, and physics. Scien tists with rather different viewpoints, employing many methods, have contributed to this area. A concise review of the current state of the field will, to some extent, reflect the special knowledge of the person writing it - in this case application of physical methods to the investigation of metal coordination. x ray diffraction is one of the most important of these methods, but a useful treatment of X-ray structure analysis would be com parable in size with and beyond the scope of the monograph. Many results of X-ray diffraction studies are, of course, presented. Electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy has played a major part in the rapid advance in knowledge of the electronic struc tures of transition metal ions in biological systems. More gener ally, measurements involving light, microwaves, and magnetic fields are capable of producing much new information, and the required instrumentation is available at most research institu tions. Therefore light absorption and paramagnetic resonance are treated in depth. The principles described in the latter discus sions are broadly applicable, for example to the promising tech niques of X-ray spectroscopy (utilizing synchrotron radiation) and lanthanide-perturbed, very high-resolution nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peptide sequencing is fundamental to understanding a protein's structure and function. The field of proteomics is dedicated to how these aspects relate to human health and disease. Unfortunately, the majority of peptides and proteins are not fully sequenced. In mass spectrometry, this is often due to spectral complications and incomplete fragmentation. There is a need to develop new sample preparation techniques or dissociation methods to increase sequence information. The dissociation of transition metal-cationized peptides by collision-induced dissociation (CID), electron-transfer dissociation (ETD), and electron-transfer collisionally activated dissociation (ETcaD) has been investigated in a quadrupole ion trap (QIT). The resulting mass spectra provide a wealth of information about the primary structures of the peptides. Using transition metal ions as cationizing reagents proves beneficial to peptide sequencing by CID and, in some cases, is better than the analysis of protonated species. For instance, spectra obtained from CID of singly and doubly charged Cu(II)-heptaalanine ions, [M + Cu - H]^+ and [M + Cu]^2, are complementary and together provide cleavage at every residue and no neutral losses. This contrasts with protonated heptaalanine, [M + H]^+, which results in fewer backbone cleavages by CID and does not allow sequencing of the first three residues. Multiply charged precursor ions are required in order to carry out ETD and ETcaD. This can be problematic for acidic or neutral peptides. This work demonstrates that addition of transition metals as a cationizing reagent allows peptides to be submitted to ETD and ETcaD that do not otherwise form multiply charged precursors. ETD spectra were less complex than those produced by CID. ETcaD increases backbone cleavages for all samples studied relative to ETD. In addition, complexes that result in very few cleavages by CID are cleaved at every residue when submitted to ETcaD. Evidence for macrocyclic metallated a- and b-ions is found in ETD and ETcaD spectra in the form of nonsequential product ions. The sequence (pEEEEGDD) of the peptide component of biologically derived low-molecular-weight chromium binding substance (LMWCr) is obtained as a result of extensive mass spectrometric studies. LMWCr is proposed to be involved in carbohydrate metabolism. The sequencing of the peptide component of LMWCr by MS represents a potentially significant milestone towards understanding the pharmacological role of chromium at a molecular level.
Download or read book Amino Acids Peptides and Proteins written by J H Jones and published by Royal Society of Chemistry. This book was released on 2007-10-31 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Specialist Periodical Reports provide systematic and detailed review coverage of progress in the major areas of chemical research. Written by experts in their specialist fields the series creates a unique service for the active research chemist, supplying regular critical in-depth accounts of progress in particular areas of chemistry. For over 80 years the Royal Society of Chemistry and its predecessor, the Chemical Society, have been publishing reports charting developments in chemistry, which originally took the form of Annual Reports. However, by 1967 the whole spectrum of chemistry could no longer be contained within one volume and the series Specialist Periodical Reports was born. The Annual Reports themselves still existed but were divided into two, and subsequently three, volumes covering Inorganic, Organic and Physical Chemistry. For more general coverage of the highlights in chemistry they remain a 'must'. Since that time the SPR series has altered according to the fluctuating degree of activity in various fields of chemistry. Some titles have remained unchanged, while others have altered their emphasis along with their titles; some have been combined under a new name whereas others have had to be discontinued. The current list of Specialist Periodical Reports can be seen on the inside flap of this volume.
