Abstract

The metal binding sites in metalloproteins were determined by development of a methodology based on metal-catalyzed oxidation (MCO) reactions. Azurin was reacted with ascorbate in 50 mM Tris-HCL (Ph 7.4) from time intervals ranging from 30 minutes to 4 hours. The reaction solutions were digested with trypsin and/or chymotrypsin and analyzed for modifications. Oxidation was monitored by removing an aliquot at selected time intervals and analyzing the product by HPLC-ESI-MS using a C 18 reversed-phase columns. In the presence of a catalytic amount of Cu(II), ascorbate mediated modification of the peptide via specific oxidation and/or cleavage reactions was observed.
