The complexation between an 18-residue zinc finger peptide of CCHC type (CCHC = Cys-X2-Cys-X4-His-X4-Cys, X = variable amino acid) from the gag protein p55 of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and various transition metal ions was studied by means of circular dichroism spectroscopy and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS). A correlation between the complexation behavior in solution and in MALDI-MS could be established. It was shown that MALDI-MS is a fast method suitable for studying metal binding properties of zinc finger complexes.
利用圆二色光谱和基质辅助激光解吸/电离质谱(MALDI-MS)研究了来自人类免疫缺陷病毒1型(HIV-1)gag蛋白p55的18个残基的CCHC型锌指肽(CCHC = 半胱氨酸-X2-半胱氨酸-X4-组氨酸-X4-半胱氨酸,X = 可变氨基酸)与各种过渡金属离子之间的络合作用。可以建立溶液中络合行为与MALDI-MS中络合行为之间的相关性。结果表明,MALDI-MS是一种适用于研究锌指络合物金属结合特性的快速方法。
