A modulation free Electron Spin Resonance spectrometer was used for the registration of spectral absorption lines of a spin-labeled Escherichia coli phenylalanine tRNA in solution with low (less than 0.1%) line shape distortion. The analysis of line shape of two different spin-labels introduced into position 8 revealed that phenylalanine tRNA in solution exists as a mixture of two conformers, the equilibria between conformers being dependent on pH, concentration of magnesium and functional state of tRNA (deacylated, aminoacylated or peptidylated). There are no overall structural rearrangements upon aminoacylation or peptidylation of tRNA. The observed small changes of spectral line shape can be assigned to shifts in conformational equilibria.
使用一台无调制电子自旋共振光谱仪记录溶液中自旋标记的大肠杆菌苯丙氨酸tRNA的光谱吸收线,其线形畸变率低(小于0.1%)。对引入第8位的两种不同自旋标记的线形分析表明,溶液中的苯丙氨酸tRNA以两种构象异构体的混合物形式存在,构象异构体之间的平衡取决于pH值、镁离子浓度和tRNA的功能状态(去酰化、氨酰化或肽酰化)。tRNA氨酰化或肽酰化后没有整体结构重排。观察到的光谱线形的微小变化可归因于构象平衡的移动。
