Influence of pH and Salts on Partial Molar Volume of Lysozyme and Bovine Serum Albumin in Aqueous Solutions.

ABSTRACT: The partial molar volume of lysozyme and bovine serum albumin in aqueous solutions at different pH values and in aqueous solutions containing sodium chloride, ammonium chloride, sodium sulfate, or ammonium sulfate at different concentrations at pH?7.0 was investigated experimentally at 298.15?K and 1?bar. It was found that the influence of the pH value and the salts on the partial molar volume of the proteins is small, but trends were measurable. Furthermore, the partial molar volume of lysozyme in pure water at different pH values and in aqueous solutions with different sodium chloride concentrations at pH?7.0 was predicted by molecular simulations. The predictions are in good agreement with the experimental data.

Project description:The synthesis and characterization of spin-labeled phospholipids (SLP)--derivatives of 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphothioethanol (PTE)--with pH-reporting nitroxides that are covalently attached to the lipid's polar headgroup are being reported. Two lipids were synthesized by reactions of PTE with thiol-specific, pH-sensitive methanethiosulfonate spin labels methanethiosulfonic acid S-(1-oxyl-2,2,3,5,5-pentamethylimidazolidin-4-ylmethyl) ester (IMTSL) and S-4-(4-(dimethylamino)-2-ethyl-5,5-dimethyl-1-oxyl-2,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-2-yl)benzyl methanethiosulfonate (IKMTSL). The pKa values of the IMTSL-PTE lipid measured by EPR titration in aqueous buffer/isopropyl alcohol solutions of various compositions were found to be essentially the same (pKa approximately 2.35), indicating that in mixed aqueous/organic solvents, the amphiphilic lipid molecules could be shielded from changing bulk conditions by a local shell of solvent molecules. To overcome this problem, the spin-labeled lipids were modeled by synthesizing IMTSL- and IKMTSL-2-mercaptoethanol adducts. These model compounds yielded the intrinsic pKa0's for IMTSL-PTE and IKMTSL-PTE in aqueous buffers as 3.33 +/- 0.03 and 5.98 +/- 0.03, respectively. A series of EPR titrations of IMTSL-PTE in mixed water/isopropyl alcohol solution allowed for calibrating the polarity-induced pKa shifts, deltapKapol, vs bulk solvent dielectric permittivity. These calibration data allowed for estimating the local dielectric constant, epsilon(eff), experienced by the reporter nitroxide of the IMTSL-PTE lipid incorporated into the nonionic Triton X-100 micelles as 60 +/- 5 and 57 +/- 5 at 23 and 48 degrees C, respectively. For micelles formed from an anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) the electrostatic-induced pKa shift, deltapKael = 2.06 +/- 0.04 units of pH, was obtained by subtracting the polarity-induced contribution. This shift yields psi = -121 mV electric potential of the SDS micelle surface.
