Abstract:

An oyster peptide modified by plastein reaction was isolated from the modified product using different methods including Sephadex G-15 gelcolumn chromatography and reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromalography(RP-HPLC). The purified peptide was sequenced as EVPPEEH with a zinc chelate activity of 161 mg/g. The peptide sequence was used as template to synthesize the pure peptide which was used to prepare peptide-zinc complexes. The results of infrared spectroscopy and circular dichroism of the complexes showed that the carbonyl oxygen belonging to the peptide chain was the primary binding site for Zn2+. Compared with the pure peptide, the irregular curl and β fold of complexes was reduced while β angle increases. Molecular mechanics simulation experiment and secondary spectrum of complexes showed that there were two kinds of spatial conformation of complexes. One way was to chelate a zinc ion by six coordination where the main chelating site was the carbonyl oxygen between Val-2 and Pro-3 or Clu-5 and Clu-6. The other was to chelate a zinc ion by four coordination where the main chelating site was the carbonyl oxygen between Clu-5 and Clu-6.
