A photo-CIDNP study of the active sites of Megasphaera elsdenii and Clostridium MP flavodoxins.

Abstract:
Megasphaera elsdenii and Clostridium MP flavodoxins have been investigated by photo-CIDNP techniques. Using time-resolved spectroscopy and external dyes carrying different charges it was possible to assign unambiguously the resonance lines in the NMR-spectra to tyrosine, tryptophan and methionine residues in the two proteins. The results show that Trp-91 in M.elsdenii and Trp-90 in Cl.MP flavodoxin are strongly immobilized and placed directly above the benzene subnucleus of the prosthetic group. The data further indicate that the active sites of the two flavodoxins are extremely similar.
