Abstract

The electron transfer mediating properties of type I copper proteins stem from the intricate ligand coordination sphere of the Cu ion in their active site. These redox properties are in part due to unusual cysteine thiol coordination, which forms a highly covalent copper-sulfur (Cu-S) bond. The structure and electronic properties of type I copper have been the subject of many experimental and theoretical studies. The measurement of spin delocalization of the Cu(II) unpaired electron to neighboring ligands provides an elegant experimental way to probe the fine details of the electronic structure of type I copper. To date, the crucial parameter of electron delocalization to the sulfur atom of the cysteine ligand has not been directly determined experimentally. We have prepared 33S-enriched azurin and carried out W-band (95 GHz) electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and electron-electron double resonance detected NMR (EDNMR) measurements and, for the first time, recorded the 33S nuclear frequencies, from which the hyperfine coupling and the spin population on the sulfur of the thiolate ligand were derived. The overlapping 33S and 14N EDNMR signals were resolved using a recently introduced two-dimensional correlation technique, 2D-...Continue Reading

Anemia

Anemia develops when your blood lacks enough healthy red blood cells. Anemia of inflammation (AI, also called anemia of chronic disease) is a common, typically normocytic, normochromic anemia that is caused by an underlying inflammatory disease. Here is the latest research on anemia.

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.
