Abstract
The temporal changes in circular dichroism at 222 and 260 nm were recorded by using stopped-flow spectroscopy after mixing α-chymotrypsin solutions with sodium dodecyl sulfate solutions. Simultaneously with the circular dichroism signal, the fluorescence emission was recorded. Changes in the secondary and tertiary structures of chymotrypsin induced by sodium dodecyl sulfate are characterized by either three or four one-way reactions with relaxation amplitudes and times precisely determined by an advanced numerical procedure of Kuzmič. Quantitatively, transitions within the secondary and tertiary structures of the protein are significantly different. Moreover, changes in the tertiary structure depend on the type of recorded signal (either circular dichroism or fluorescence) and the wavelength of the incident radiation. The latter observation is particularly interesting as it indicates that the contributions of protein's different tryptophans to the total recorded fluorescence depend on the excitation wavelength. We present several results justifying this hypothesis.

Abstract
The addition of denaturants strongly influences the surface properties of aqueous myoglobin solutions. The effect differs from the results for mixed solutions of the denaturants and other globular proteins, for example, bovine serum albumin (BSA), lysozyme and β-lactoglobulin (BLG), although the surface properties of the solutions of the pure proteins are similar. The kinetic dependencies of the dynamic surface elasticity of myoglobin solutions with guanidine hydrochloride (GuHCl) reveal at least two adsorption steps at denaturant concentrations higher than 1 M: a very fast increase of the dynamic surface elasticity to approximately 30 mN/m at the beginning of adsorption, and a slower growth to abnormally high values of 250-300 mN/m. At the same time, the surface elasticity of BSA/GuHCl, BLG/GuHCl and lysozyme/GuHCl solutions is a non-monotonic function of the surface age, and does not exceed 50 mN/m close to equilibrium. The high surface elasticity of myoglobin/GuHCl solutions may be associated with protein aggregation in the surface layer. The formation of aggregates is confirmed by ellipsometry and Brewster angle microscopy. The addition of ionic surfactants to protein solutions leads to the formation of myoglobin/surfactant complexes, and the kinetic dependencies of the dynamic surface elasticity display local maxima indicating multistep adsorption kinetics, unlike the corresponding results for solutions of other globular proteins mixed with ionic surfactants. Ellipsometry and infrared reflection-absorption spectroscopy allow tracing the adsorption of the complexes and their displacement from the interface at high surfactant concentrations.

Abstract
Coproheme decarboxylase (ChdC) catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of coproheme to heme b, i.e. the last step in the recently described coproporphyrin-dependent pathway. Coproheme decarboxylation from Listeria monocytogenes is a robust enzymatic reaction of low catalytic efficiency. Coproheme acts as both substrate and redox cofactor activated by H2O2. It fully depends on the catalytic Y147 close to the propionyl group at position 2. In the present study we have investigated the effect of disruption of the comprehensive and conserved hydrogen bonding network between the four propionates and heme cavity residues on (i) the conformational stability of the heme cavity, (ii) the electronic configuration of the ferric redox cofactor/substrate, (iii) the binding of carbon monoxide and, (iv) the decarboxylation reaction mediated by addition of H2O2. Nine single, double and triple mutants of ChdC from Listeria monocytogenes were produced in E. coli. The respective coproheme- and heme b-complexed proteins were studied by UV–Vis, resonance Raman, circular dichroism spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry. Interactions of propionates 2 and 4 with residues in the hydrophobic cavity are crucial for maintenance of the heme cavity architecture, for the mobile distal glutamine to interact with carbon monoxide, and to keep the heme cavity in a closed conformation during turnover. By contrast, the impact of substitution of residues interacting with solvent exposed propionates 6 and 7 was negligible. Except for Y147A and K151A all mutant ChdCs exhibited a wild-type-like catalytic activity. The findings are discussed with respect to the structure-function relationships of ChdCs.

Abstract
Coproheme decarboxylases (ChdC) catalyze the hydrogen peroxide-mediated conversion of coproheme to heme b. This work compares the structure and function of wild-type (WT) coproheme decarboxylase from Listeria monocytogenes and its M149A, Q187A, and M149A/Q187A mutants. The UV-vis, resonance Raman, and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopies clearly show that the ferric form of the WT protein is a pentacoordinate quantum mechanically mixed-spin state, which is very unusual in biological systems. Exchange of the Met149 residue to Ala dramatically alters the heme coordination, which becomes a 6-coordinate low spin species with the amide nitrogen atom of the Q187 residue bound to the heme iron. The interaction between M149 and propionyl 2 is found to play an important role in keeping the Q187 residue correctly positioned for closure of the distal cavity. This is confirmed by the observation that in the M149A variant two CO conformers are present corresponding to open (A0) and closed (A1) conformations. The CO of the latter species, the only conformer observed in the WT protein, is H-bonded to Q187. In the absence of the Q187 residue or in the adducts of all the heme b forms of ChdC investigated herein (containing vinyls in positions 2 and 4), only the A0 conformer has been found. Moreover, M149 is shown to be involved in the formation of a covalent bond with a vinyl substituent of heme b at excess of hydrogen peroxide.

Abstract
OmpF porin from the outer membrane of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis was cloned into pET-40b(+) plasmid. Using E. coli Rosetta (DE3) strain, MX medium, IPTG concentration of 0.2 mm and post-induction cultivation at 14°C overnight allowed us to obtain a water-soluble form of the recombinant protein (rs-OmpF). Rs-OmpF was shown to have the ordered spatial structure at the levels of secondary and tertiary structure. Rs-OmpF was found to be effective as diagnostic antigen in ELISA for pseudotuberculosis diagnostics.

Abstract
The review discusses the mechanism of formation of protein/surfactant adsorption layers at the liquid - gas interface. The complexes of globular proteins usually preserve their compact structure a low surfactant concentrations. Therefore a simple kinetic model of the adsorption of charged compact nanoparticles is discussed first and compared with experimental data. The increase of surfactant concentrations results in various conformational transitions in the surface layer. One can obtain information on the changes of the adsorption layer structure using the dilational surface rheology. The kinetic dependencies of the dynamic surface elasticity are strongly different for the adsorption of unfolded macromolecules and compact globules, and have local maxima in the former case corresponding to different steps of the adsorption. These distinctions allow tracing the changes of the tertiary structure of protein/surfactant complexes in the surface layer. The adsorption from mixed solutions of ionic surfactants with β-casein, β-lactoglobulin, bovine serum albumin and myoglobin is discussed with some details.

Abstract
This article describes the use of capillary electrophoresis (CE) to examine the influence of different cations (C(+); C(+) = Na(+) and tetra-n-alkylammonium, NR(4)(+), where R = Me, Et, Pr, and Bu) on the rates of denaturation of bovine carbonic anhydrase II (BCA) in the presence of anionic surfactant dodecylsulfate (DS(-)). An analysis of the denaturation of BCA in solutions of Na(+)DS(-) and NR(4)(+)DS(-) (in Tris-Gly buffer) indicated that the rates of formation of complexes of denatured BCA with DS(-) (BCA(D)-DS(-)(n,sat)) are indistinguishable and independent of the cation below the critical micellar concentration (cmc) and independent of the total concentration of DS(-) above the cmc. At concentrations of C(+)DS(-) above the cmc, BCA denatured at rates that depended on the cation; the rates decreased by a factor >10(4) in the order of Na(+) ≈ NMe(4)(+) > NEt(4)(+) > NPr(4)(+) > NBu(4)(+), which is the same order as the values of the cmc (which decrease from 4.0 mM for Na(+)DS(-) to 0.9 mM for NBu(4)(+)DS(-) in Tris-Gly buffer). The relationship between the cmc values and the rates of formation of BCA(D)-DS(-)(n,sat()) suggested that the kinetics of denaturation of BCA involve the association of this protein with monomeric DS(-) rather than with micelles of (C(+)DS(-))(n). A less-detailed survey of seven other proteins (α-lactalbumin, β-lactoglobulin A, β-lactoglobulin B, carboxypeptidase B, creatine phosphokinase, myoglobin, and ubiquitin) showed that the difference between Na(+)DS(-) and NR(4)(+)DS(-) observed with BCA was not general. Instead, the influence of NR(4)(+) on the association of DS(-) with these proteins depended on the protein. The selection of the cation contributed to the properties (including the composition, electrophoretic mobility, and partitioning behavior in aqueous two-phase systems) of aggregates of denatured protein and DS(-). These results suggest that the variation in the behavior of NR(4)(+)DS(-) with changes in R may be exploited in methods used to analyze and separate mixtures of proteins.

Abstract
Interactions of two anionic surfactants, sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) and sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate (AOT) at concentrations below and above critical micelle concentration with methemoglobin (metHb) have been investigated by conventional as well as by stopped-flow absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy. The absorption spectra of metHb in AOT reverse micelles have been also analyzed. Both surfactants in their monomeric form convert metHb to reversible hemichrome. This is connected with a diminution of peroxidase-like activity of metHb and with an increase of the susceptibility of heme for a damage by H(2)O(2). In micellar solutions of AOT and SDS as well as in AOT reverse micelles pentacoordinated ferric species seems to be the predominant form of this protein. It has been concluded, basing on a kinetic analysis, that conformational changes in the heme environment of metHb as induced by both surfactants occur independently of the alterations in the tertiary structure of this protein.

Abstract
To understand the mechanism of ionic detergent-induced protein denaturation, this study examines the action of sodium dodecyl sulfate on ferrocytochrome c conformation under neutral and strongly alkaline conditions. Equilibrium and stopped-flow kinetic results consistently suggest that tertiary structure unfolding in the submicellar and chain expansion in the micellar range of SDS concentrations are the two major and discrete events in the perturbation of protein structure. The nature of interaction between the detergent and the protein is predominantly hydrophobic in the submicellar and exclusively hydrophobic at micellar levels of SDS concentration. The observation that SDS also interacts with a highly denatured and negatively charged form of ferrocytochrome c suggests that the interaction is independent of structure, conformation, and ionization state of the protein. The expansion of the protein chain at micellar concentration of SDS is driven by coulombic repulsion between the protein-bound micelles, and the micelles and anionic amino acid side chains.

Abstract
Addition of Ni(2+), Cu(2+), or Zn(2+) (10-40 equiv) to metMb in sodium bicarbonate buffer (25 degrees C) at alkaline pH (7.8-9.5) results in a time-dependent (2-6 h) change in the electronic absorption spectrum of the protein that is consistent with dissociation of the heme from the active site and that can be largely reversed by addition of EDTA. Similar treatment of cytochrome b(5), indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase, and cytochrome P450(cam) (in the presence or absence of camphor) produces a similar spectroscopic response. Elution of metMb treated with Ni(2+) in this manner over an anion exchange column in buffer containing Ni(2+) affords apo-myoglobin without exposure to acidic pH or organic solvents as usually required. Bovine liver catalase, in which the heme groups are remote from the surface of the protein, and horseradish peroxidase, which has four disulfide bonds and just three histidyl residues, exhibit a much smaller spectroscopic response. We propose that formation of carbamino groups by reaction of bicarbonate with protein amino groups promotes both protein solubility and the interaction of the protein with metal ions, thereby avoiding precipitation while destabilizing the interaction of heme with the protein. From these observations, bicarbonate buffers may be of value in the study of nonmembrane proteins of limited solubility.
