Nucleotides fluorescence

Fia. 32. Reaction of lactate dehydrogenase with NAD and lactate at pH 6 monitored by nucleotide absorbance, nucleotide fluorescence, and protein fluorescence, The derivative plots on the right represent the initial transient approach to a steady-state rate of NADH production for nucleotide absorbance and fluorescence. To obtain the derivative plot for protein fluorescence, the fluorescence was measured as a fraction of the fluorescence of unliganded enzyme at each time, and the fractional fluorescence was then converted into fractional saturation of the enzyme with ligand by using the equation F " = 1 — a(l — x) (see Section II,D,1). Steady-state rate (s.s.) was 4.8 sec h...

This proposal could be tested by following the nucleotide fluorescence of NADH. The relative fluorescence of free NADH and its binary complex with enzyme and ternary complex with enzyme and pyruvate is 1 4 0.2. Since the large fluorescence increase must be due to the formation of the enzyme-NADH complex III it is evident that the second, slower, transient is due to the dissociation of pyruvate from the product complex. Furthermore the record of proton liberation, figure 5.4, shows that this also occurs during the slower transient. The instantaneous transient corresponds to the on enzyme equilibration. The small amplitude change of this transient with a lOOfold change in proton concentration (pH 6 to 8), as well as the subsequent liberation of protons, demonstrates that the equilibration... 

This is a fluorescent benzyl ether used for 2 -protection in nucleotide synthesis. It is introduced using 1 -pyrenylmethyl chloride (KOH, benzene, dioxane, reflux, 2 h, >65% yield). Most methods used for benzyl ether cleavage should be applicable to this ether. 

The mDHFR protein complementation assay has been used to map a signal transduction network that controls the initiation of translation in eukaryotes (Remy and Michnick, 2001). A total of 35 different pairs of full-length proteins were analyzed and 14 interactions were identified using the survival selection of cells grown in the absence of nucleotides. In addition, the use of the fMTX reagent in combination with fluorescence microscopy was used to localize the protein complex within cells (Remy and Michnick, 2001).
