The thermodynamics of binding of fluoride and cyanide to cytochrome c peroxidase (CCP) and its Asn-82-->Asp mutant (D82CCP) in phosphate and acetate buffer at an ionic strength of 0.15 mol.kg-1 from pH 5.0 to 7.1 were investigated by titration calorimetry at 289 and 297 K. The binding reactions are enthalpically driven. The fluoride-binding constants determined from the titration calorimetry results were in agreement with those determined from difference-spectroscopy measurements. For cyanide binding to CCP at 297.9 K, the binding constant decreased from 8.95 (+/- 0.83) x 10(5) M-1 at pH 7.0 to 4.04(+/- 0.23) x 10(5) M-1 at pH 5.0, and the binding enthalpy increased from -57.2 +/- 1.4 kJ.mol-1 at pH 7.0 to -48.6 +/- 1.8 kJ.mol-1 at pH 5.0. For fluoride binding to CCP, the binding constant increased from 8.41(+/- 0.54) x 10(3) M-1 at pH 7.0 to 3.11(+/- 0.09) x 10(5) M-1 at pH 5.0 and the binding enthalpy increased from -71.9 +/- 1.1 kJ.mol-1 at pH 7.0 to -67.0 +/- 1.9 kJ.mol-1 at pH 5.0. The binding enthalpies for D82CCP were about the same as those for CCP. However, the binding constants for cyanide and fluoride to D82CCP were respectively a factor of two less and at least an order of magnitude less than the corresponding binding constants of CCP. Decreased ligand-binding strength in the D82CCP mutant is thus entirely due to entropic effects.

The interaction between bovine pancreatic ribonuclease A (EC 3.1.4.22) and the purine nucleotides AMP, GMP, 6-chloropurine 5′-ribonucleotide and 8-bromoadenosine 5′-monophosphate was studied by u.v. difference spectroscopy. The stoicheiometry of the binding of the halogenated nucleotides to the enzyme shows a 1:1 ratio, as for the natural ones. The binding constants, Ka, for all four nucleotides at pH 5.5 were determined. They are within the same order of magnitude, though the nucleotides with a 6-amino group show a stronger interaction. The magnitude of the binding shows a reciprocal dependence on the ionic strength, which indicates an electrostatic interaction between ligand and enzyme. Finally, solvent-perturbation experiments show that all four nucleotides bind to the enzyme in a partially hydrophobic region. It is concluded that both halogenated and natural purine ribonucleotides interact in a similar manner with the enzyme molecule. The special synthesis and identification of 6-chloropurine 5′-ribonucleotide are discussed extensively. It is concluded that both halogenated and natural purine ribonucleotides interact in a similar manner with the enzyme molecule and thus the halogenated analogues are potential reagents for the affinity labelling of the purine-binding site.

UDA (Urtica dioica agglutinin) contains two hevein like domains with two non-identical interacting sites and is specific for chitooligosaccharides. The binding of chitooligosaccharides to UDA was studied by Isothermal Titration Calorimetry. Each site is composed of three subsites, each binding to a sugar residue. Thermodynamic parameters obtained show that while chitobiose has two independent non-interacting sites, chitotriose, chitotetrose and chitopentose have two interacting sites on each monomer of UDA. Values of binding enthalpy (ΔH) increase almost by a factor of 7 in going from chitobiose to chitotriose indicating the existence of three subsites in the combining site of UDA. The binding constant for chitotetrose and chitopentose increase without any further enhancement in the values of ΔH indicating that for oligomers larger than chitotriose interaction is favoured entropically.

1. Physical studies of complex-formation between cytochrome c and yeast peroxidase are consistent with kinetic predictions that these complexes participate in the catalytic activity of yeast peroxidase towards ferrocytochrome c. Enzyme–ferricytochrome c complexes have been detected both by the analytical ultracentrifuge and by column chromatography, whereas an enzyme–ferrocytochrome c complex was demonstrated by column chromatography. Estimated binding constants obtained from chromatographic experiments were similar to the measured kinetic values. 2. The physicochemical study of the enzyme–ferricytochrome c complex, and an analysis of its spectrum and reactivity, suggest that the conformation and reactivity of neither cytochrome c nor yeast peroxidase are grossly modified in the complex. 3. The peroxide compound of yeast cytochrome c peroxidase was found to have two oxidizing equivalents accessible to cytochrome c but only one readily accessible to ferrocyanide. Several types of peroxide compound, differing in available oxidizing equivalents and in reactivity with cytochrome c, seem to be formed by stoicheiometric amounts of hydrogen peroxide. 4. Fluoride combines not only with free yeast peroxidase but also with peroxidase–peroxide and accelerates the decomposition of the latter compound. The ligand-catalysed decomposition provides evidence for one-electron reduction pathways in yeast peroxidase, and the reversible binding of fluoride casts doubt upon the concept that the peroxidase–peroxide intermediate is any form of peroxide complex. 5. A mechanism for cytochrome c oxidation is proposed involving the successive reaction of two reversibly bound molecules of cytochrome c with oxidizing equivalents associated with the enzyme protein.
