The direct incorporation of Cu(I) from [Cu(I)(thiourea)3]Cl, a structural analogue of Cu-thionein, into apo-stellacyanin, was successful both aerobically and anaerobically. A characteristic c.d. band of Cu(I)-stellacyanin at 270 nm (0 = -12.5 X 10(3) degrees X cm2 X dmol-1) was seen. On oxidation with hexacyanoferrate(III) or by air, the correct Cu(II) binding into the active centre of this 'Type 1' Cu-protein was deduced from chiroptical measurements which were supported by e.p.r. data. Thus Cu-thiourea turned out to be an excellent Cu(I)-donor in aqueous systems for the complete reconstitution of mononuclear Blue copper proteins.
将铜硫蛋白的结构类似物[Cu(I)(硫脲)3]Cl中的Cu(I)直接掺入脱辅基星蓝蛋白,无论在有氧还是无氧条件下均获成功。观察到Cu(I)-星蓝蛋白在270 nm处有一特征性圆二色带(θ = -12.5×10³度·厘米²·摩尔⁻¹)。在用铁氰化铁(III)或空气氧化时,通过圆二色光谱测量推断出正确的Cu(II)结合到这种“1型”铜蛋白的活性中心,电子顺磁共振数据也支持这一结果。因此,在水性体系中,铜硫脲被证明是用于单核蓝铜蛋白完全重构的优良Cu(I)供体。
