The changes in the redox potential of Azurin upon mutation stem from the effects of a few key residues, including non-mutated ones, rather than being the result of a generalized rearrangement.

Elementary considerations indicate that thiol radicals, RS•, should have a high redox potential [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]However, the equilibrium [4],[Formula: see text]which is established in the presence of excess RS−, would convert RS•to [Formula: see text] which is a reducing species. Experimentally it was demonstrated that thiol radicals made by γ radiolysis of β-mercaptoethanol solutions effected two-electron oxidation of dihydroflavin FlH2 at pH 6.3 and of FlH− at pH 8. On the other hand, [Formula: see text] readily reduced Fl to FlH2 or FlH− as expected. At pH 9, photostationary states were established after a few minutes radiolysis and the ratios [FlH−]ss/[Fl]ss were a function of [Formula: see text] The main reactions occurring were:[Formula: see text]The values of k19 and k22 were both large. The ratio k19/k22 was ∼0.8 for lumiflavin and ∼0.3 for flavin adenine dinucleotide. The cyclic disulphide anions of lipoamide and dithiothreitol [Formula: see text] also effected two-electron reductions of flavins. However, the protonated form of [Formula: see text] oxidized FlH2, and the photostationary ratio [FlH−]ss/[Fl]ss was an approximate linear function of [Formula: see text]. The implications of the observed changes in redox properties of sulphur radicals on complexation with RS− and protonation were briefly considered.Des considérations élémentaires indiquent que les radicaux thiyles, RS•, doivent avoir un potentiel rédox élevé [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]

Abstract Background Dextransucrases are extracellular enzymes, which catalyze the formation of α-1→6-linked glucose polymers from sucrose. These enzymes are exclusively expressed by lactic acid bacteria, which commonly acidify the extracellular environment due to their physiology. Dextransucrases are thus confronted with steadily changing reaction conditions in regards to the environmental pH, which can further affect the amount of released dextransucrases. In this work, we studied the effect of the environmental pH on the release, the productivity and the product specificity of the dextransucrase expressed by Lactobacillus (L.) hordei TMW 1.1822. Dextransucrases were recovered as crude extracts at pH 3.5–pH 6.5 and then again used to produce dextrans at these pH values. The respectively produced dextran amounts and sizes were determined and the obtained results finally systematically correlated. Results Maximum dextran amounts were produced at pH 4.0 and pH 4.5, while the productivity of the dextransucrases significantly decreased at pH 3.5 and pH 6.5. The distribution of dextran amounts produced at different pH most likely reflects the pH dependent activity of the dextransucrases released by L. hordei, since different transglycosylation rates were determined at different pH using the same dextransucrase amounts. Moreover, similar hydrolysis activities were detected at all tested conditions despite significant losses of transglycosylation activities indicating initial hydrolysis prior to transglycosylation reactions. The molar masses and rms radii of dextrans increased up to pH 5.5 independently of the stability of the enzyme. The gelling properties of dextrans produced at pH 4.0 and pH 5.5 were different. Conclusions The presented methodological approach allows the controlled production of dextrans with varying properties and could be transferred and adapted to other microbes for systematic studies on the release and functionality of native sucrases or other extracellular enzymes.
