Tristhiolato Pseudopeptides Bind Arsenic(III) in an AsS3 Coordination Environment Imitating Metalloid Binding Sites in Proteins.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The AsIII binding of two NTA-based tripodal pseudopeptides, possessing three cysteine (ligand L1) or d-penicillamine residues (ligand L2) as potential coordinating groups for soft semimetals or metal ions, was studied by experimental (UV, CD, NMR, and ESI-MS) and theoretical (DFT) methods. All of the experimental data, obtained with the variation of the AsIII:ligand concentration ratios or pH values in some instances, evidence the exclusive formation of species with an AsS3-type coordination mode. The UV-monitored titration of the ligands with arsenous acid at pH = 7.0 provided an absorbance data set that allowed for the determination of apparent stability constants of the forming species. The obtained stabilities (log
