Publication Abstract from PubMed Tryptophan serves as an important redox-active amino acid in mediating electron transfer and mitigating oxidative damage in proteins. We previously showed a difference in electrochemical potentials for two tryptophan residues in azurin with distinct hydrogen-bonding environments. Here, we test whether reducing the side chain bulk at position Phe110 to Leu, Ser, or Ala impacts the electrochemical potentials (E degrees ) for tryptophan at position 48. X-ray diffraction confirmed the influx of crystallographically resolved water molecules for both the F110A and F110L tyrosine free azurin mutants. The local environments of W48 in all azurin mutants were further evaluated by UV resonance Raman (UVRR) spectroscopy to probe the impact of mutations on hydrogen bonding and polarity. A correlation between the frequency of the omega17 mode horizontal line considered a vibrational marker for hydrogen bonding horizontal line and E degrees is proposed. However, the trend is opposite to the expectation from a previous study on small molecules. Density functional theory calculations suggest that the omega17 mode reflects hydrogen bonding as well as local polarity. Further, the UVRR data reveal different intensity/frequency shifts of the omega9/omega10 vibrational modes that characterize the local H-bonding environments of tryptophan. The cumulative data support that the presence of water increases E degrees and reveal properties of the protein microenvironment surrounding tryptophan.
