Crystals of the model protein lysozyme were grown and soaked with the potential drug VO(acetylacetonato) at 37°C. X-ray diffraction and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) data collected at this temperature reveal that mixed-valence cage-like polyoxidovanadate clusters are formed and covalently bind protein residue side chains at physiological temperature.
对模型蛋白溶菌酶的晶体进行培养,并于37°C下用潜在药物VO(乙酰丙酮)进行浸泡。在此温度下收集的X射线衍射和电子顺磁共振(EPR)数据表明,形成了混合价态的笼状多氧化钒酸盐簇,且在生理温度下与蛋白质残基侧链共价结合。
