摘要
在-150~+20℃范围测定了藻红蓝蛋白α-亚基的低温紫外-可见吸收光谱和圆二色光谱.通过这些光谱测定表明:在温度低于-90℃时藻红蓝蛋白α-亚基可逆光化学反应很小,在温度高于-70℃时藻红蓝蛋白α-亚基能发生可逆光化学反应但不存在中间态.-70~-90℃时藻红蓝蛋白α-亚基的可逆光化学反应在紫外-可见吸收光谱和圆二色光谱中产生特定的信号,它们可能相应于藻红蓝蛋白α-亚基可逆光化学反应过程的中间态.这些实验还表明:藻红蓝蛋白α-亚基的脱辅基蛋白没有形成一个特定的空间来允许其辅基色素发生可逆光化学顺反异构化。
The reversible photochemistry of phycoerythrocyanin α subunit (α PEC) has been measured by low temperature absorption and circular dichroism from -150℃ to +20℃. It is shown that a) lower than -90℃, the photochemistry is silent; b) higher than -70℃, the photochemistry increases gradually and no indication for intermediate; c) from -70℃ to -90℃, some signals in absorption and circular dichroism can be observed that maybe represent certain intermediates on reversible photochemistry of α PEC. The results suggest that in α PEC there does not exist sufficient space for isomerization of chromophore, and the isomerization of chromophore must then be assisted and facilitated by concomitant structural changes of apoprotein.
