We present a computational study of vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) in solutions of (S)-lactic acid, relying on ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) and full solvation with bulk water. We discuss...

At a molar excess of [citrate]/[aluminum], this organic acid can protect calmodulin from aluminum binding if the metal is presented to the protein in stoichiometric micromolar quantities, as judged by fluorescence and circular dichroism spectroscopy. Similar citrate concentrations are also capable of fully restoring calmodulin's hydrophobic surface exposure to that of the native protein when calmodulin was initially damaged by aluminum binding. Fluoride anions are equally effective in restoring calmodulin's native structure as determined by fluorescence spectroscopy. Measurements of the kinetics of citrate-mediated aluminum removal also indicated that the metal ions are completely removed from calmodulin, consistent with results derived from atomic absorption experiments. On the other hand, results from circular dichroism studies indicated that citrate-mediated aluminum removal from calmodulin can only partially restore the α-helix content to that originally present in apocalmodulin or in calcium–calmodulin, dependent upon the absence or presence of calcium ions. The results that chelators like citrate can protect calmodulin from aluminum injury may provide a conceptual understanding of physiological observations regarding aluminum-tolerant plant species which are generally rich in certain organic acids.
