Molecular interpretation of kinetic-ionic strength effects

B A Feinberg, M D Ryan

    Journal of Inorganic Biochemistry
    |November 1, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary

    Kinetic-ionic strength studies of redox proteins are controversial. This analysis concludes that these studies reflect overall protein charge, not electron transfer site charge, necessitating electrostatic corrections for accurate interpretation.

    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Physical Chemistry
    • Protein Science

    Background:

    • Kinetic-ionic strength studies are used to investigate electron transfer in redox proteins.
    • Controversy exists regarding whether these studies reveal electron transfer site charge or overall protein charge effects.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To critically analyze the utility of kinetic-ionic strength studies for understanding redox protein mechanisms.
    • To resolve the controversy surrounding the interpretation of these studies.

    Main Methods:

    • Critical analysis of existing theoretical approaches.
    • Evaluation of published kinetic-ionic strength studies involving non-physiological small molecule-protein and protein-protein interactions.

    Main Results:

    • The approximated Bronsted-Debye-Huckel equation is unsuitable for protein redox reactions.
    • Kinetic-ionic strength studies do not provide information on the electron transfer site's charge.
    • Net charge of reactants governs electrostatic interactions.
    • Wherland and Gray's equation and the full Bronsted-Debye-Huckel equation approximate net protein charge.
    • pH variations quantitatively affect net protein charge.

    Conclusions:

    • Kinetic-ionic strength studies primarily reflect the net charge of redox proteins.
    • Accurate interpretation of these experiments requires electrostatic corrections.
    • Understanding protein redox mechanisms necessitates accounting for net protein charge effects.
