Charge-transfer interaction of some pyridinium salts with hen egg-white lysozyme

Abstract: Abstract:The charge-transfer interaction of pyridinium salts with lysozyme and L-tryptophan has been investigated by visible absorption, circular dichroism and fluorescence spectroscopy. Four quaternized and substituted pyridinium salts were used as electron acceptors. L-tryptophan was used as a model compound of electron donor for the purpose of the comparison with lysozyme. The binding constants obtained from absorption and circular dichroism spectra were 2.0-13 M -1 and the sequence of the magnitude was fou… Show more

“…Weak binding (1−39 M -1 ) was found between the guest molecules and 1 in aqueous solutions. This observation is consistent with previous studies of simple acceptors such as methylviologen or 1-methylnicotinadide, as well as β-cyclodextrin derivatives, and pyrogallol or resorcinol cyclic tetramers with amino acids in aqueous media. Apparently, the free energy penalty incurred in desolvating the ionic host is almost equal to the attractive (hydrogen bonding and π-stacking) interactions in water.…”
