AbstractStructural differences which occur on heating La-montmorillonite have been studied and compared with those for montmorillonite saturated with Na(I) and Li(I). Rehydration experiments show that La-montmorillonite swells after preheating up to 500°C. However, FT-IR spectra suggest partial migration of the La(III) cations from the interlamellar region to the structural sheets and(or) deprotonation of hydrated La(III) cations, followed by migration of the resulting protons to vacant octahedral sites. Additional measurements of X-ray absorption spectra (EXAFS, XANES) and heating to 700°C suggest that interlamellar hydrated La(III) partially deprotonates producing polyoxocations.

The survival and growth of the pathogen Helicobacter pylori in the gastric acidic environment is ensured by the activity of urease, an enzyme containing two essential Ni2+ ions in the active site. The metallo-chaperone UreE facilitates in vivo Ni2+ insertion into the apoenzyme. Crystals of apo-HpUreE (H. pylori UreE) and its Ni2+- and Zn2+-bound forms were obtained from protein solutions in the absence and presence of the metal ions. The crystal structures of the homodimeric protein, determined at 2.00 Å (apo), 1.59 Å (Ni2+) and 2.52 Å (Zn2+) resolution, show the conserved proximal and solvent-exposed His102 residues from two adjacent monomers invariably involved in metal binding. The C-terminal regions of the apoprotein are disordered in the crystal, but acquire significant ordering in the presence of the metal ions due to the binding of His152. The analysis of X-ray absorption spectral data obtained using solutions of Ni2+- and Zn2+-bound HpUreE provided accurate information of the metal-ion environment in the absence of solid-state effects. These results reveal the role of the histidine residues at the protein C-terminus in metal-ion binding, and the mutual influence of protein framework and metal-ion stereo-electronic properties in establishing co-ordination number and geometry leading to metal selectivity.
