Investigations of tobacco mosaic virus with the aid of Moessbauer effect on I129

Description

The experimental determination of the electric quadrupole coupling constant of I129 enables the investigation of special problems related to the quaternery structure of the tobacco mosaic virus. Aiming information on their chemical bonds the amino acids tyrosine 139 and cysteine 27 in the tobacco mosaic virus were iodinated and the Moessbauer spectra of the probes were taken at different pH-values. The results prove the existence of a hydrogen bond at the hydroxyl group of tyrosine 139 and exclude the formation of a cystine bridge at cysteine 27 in the tobacco mosaic virus. (orig.)

Abstract (German)

Die Messung der elektrischen Quadrupolaufspaltung an J129 ist geeignet, spezielle Probleme der Quartaerstruktur des Tabak-Mosaik-Virus zu untersuchen. Dazu wurden die Aminosaeuren Tyrosin 139 und Cystein 27 im Tabak-Mosaik-Virus jodiert und die Moessbauerspektren von Absorbern bei verschiedenen pH-Werten gemessen. Die Ergebnisse deuten eine Wasserstoffbruecke an der Hydroxylgruppe des Tyrosin 139 an und schliessen die Bildung einer Disulfidbruecke am Cystein 27 im Tabak-Mosaik-Virus aus. (orig.)
