RU(BPY)2(MBPY)-MODIFIED BOVINE ADRENODOXIN
|
OverviewOverview
Bovine adrenodoxin (Adx) plays an important role in the electron-transfer, process in the mitochondrial steroid hydroxylase system of the bovine, adrenal cortex. Using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy, we showed that photoreduction of the [2Fe-2S] cluster of Adx via, (4'-methyl-2,2'-bipyridine)bis(2,2'-bipyridine)ruthenium(II), [Ru(bpy)2(mbpy)] covalently attached to the protein surface can be used as, a new approach to probe the "shuttle" hypothesis for the electron transfer, by Adx. The 1.5 A resolution crystal structure of a 1:1, Ru(bpy)2(mbpy)-Adx(1-108) complex reveals the site of modification, Cys95, and allows to predict the possible intramolecular electron-transfer, pathways within the complex. Photoreduction of uncoupled Adx, mutant, Adx(1-108), and ... [(full description)]
