Abstract

Binding of three ruthenium(ii) compounds of general formula mer-[Ru(L3)(N-N)X][Y] (where L3 = 4'-chloro-2,2':6',2''-terpyridine (Cl-tpy); N-N = 1,2-diaminoethane (en), 1,2-diaminocyclohexane (dach) or 2,2'-bipyridine (bipy); X = Cl; Y = Cl) to human serum albumin (HSA) has been investigated by nano-LC/nano-ESI MS and docking studies. A bottom-up proteomics approach has been applied for the structural characterization of metallated proteins and the data were analyzed in both the positive and negative ion mode. The negative ion mode was achieved after the post-column addition of an isopropanol solution of formaldehyde that enabled sample ionization at micro-flow rates. The negative ion mode MS has been proved to be beneficial for the analysis of binding sites on ruthenated protein in terms of ion charge reduction and consequent simplification of target sequence identification based on isotopic differences between ruthenated and non-ruthenated peptides. Moreover, the negative ion mode ESI MS shows the advantage of singly charged ion formation and, unlike MALDI MS, it does not cause complete ligand fragmentation, merging the benefits of each method into a single experiment. Six target sequences were identified for the binding of en and dach compounds, and four sequences for the binding of bipy. All compounds have been found to bind histidine and one aspartate residue. Docking studies showed that the identified sequences are the constituents of five distinct binding sites for en and dach, or two sites for the bipy complex. The selection of binding sites seems to be dependent on the chelate ligand and the form of the complex prior or after hydrolysis of the leaving chloride ligand.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 29 March 2018.
All research outputs
#20,472,403
of 23,031,582 outputs
Outputs from Metallomics
#771
of 937 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#378,224
of 442,391 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Metallomics
#61
of 82 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,031,582 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 937 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.6. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 442,391 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 82 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
