Proton nuclear-relaxation rates have been measured as a function of frequency, temperature, pH and cyanide concentration in aqueous solutions of superoxide dismutase from bovine erythrocytes. The results show that, whereas for pH less than or equal to 9 only one water molecule is bound to each Cu2+ ion, at higher pH a second co-ordination site for OH- becomes available; it is proposed that this involves cleavage of the bond between Cu2+ and the histidine residue that bridges to Zn2+.
已测量了来自牛红细胞的超氧化物歧化酶水溶液中质子核弛豫率随频率、温度、pH值和氰化物浓度的变化。结果表明,当pH值小于或等于9时,每个Cu2+离子仅结合一个水分子,而在较高pH值下,OH-的第二个配位位点变得可用;有人提出,这涉及到Cu2+与桥连到Zn2+的组氨酸残基之间的键断裂。
