The di-iron core of mammalian purple acid phosphatases has been reproduced in the plant enzyme from kidney bean (Mr 111000) upon insertion of an Fe(II) ion in place of the native zinc(II) in the dinuclear Fe(III)Zn(II) core. The shortening of the electronic relaxation time of the metal centre allows detection of hyperfine-shifted 1H NMR resonances, although severe broadening due to Curie relaxation prevents independent signal assignment. Nevertheless, comparison of the spectral features of the structurally characterized plant enzyme with those of the mammalian species, which were previously extensively assigned, is consistent with a close similarity of the metal-binding sites, also suggested by previous sequence-alignment studies. Some differences appear to be mainly localized at the M(II) site. Spectral comparison was also carried out on the Fe(III)Co(II) derivatives.

Purple acid phosphatases (PAPs) constitute a new class of metalloenzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of certain phosphate esters, including nucleoside di- and triphosphates and aryl phosphates, under acidic conditions. To provide some insight into these metalloenzymes we have performed quantum chemical and molecular mechanics calculations based on the mixed-valence [FeIIFeIII(BPBPMP)(OAc)2]+ model complex (1) (H2BPBPMP = 2-bis[{(2-pyridylmethyl)-aminomethyl}-6-{(2-hydroxybenzyl)-(2-pyridylmethyl)}-aminomethyl]-4-methylphenol). The geometric and the vibrational parameters calculated by molecular mechanics show that the force fields established in this work reproduce the binuclear iron core with µ-phenoxo or µ-alkoxo and di-µ-acetate bridges presented in the PAPs model complexes. The atomic orbital analysis of the SOMO contributions indicated that the FeIII atom and the terminal phenolate are involved in the phenolate to FeIII charge transfer electronic transition in 1 as argued from electronic spectroscopic data in the PAPs. Key words: mixed-valence FeIIFeIII complex, purple acid phosphatases, molecular modeling.

The conformational properties of the Sarmesin analogues [N-MeAib1, Tyr(Me)4]ANGII and [N-MeAib1, Tyr(Me)4, Ile8]ANGII in hexadeutero-dimethysulfoxide were investigated by Nuclear Overhauser Effect (NOE) Enhancement Studies. Cis-trans isomers (ratio 1 : 6) due to restricted rotation of the His-Pro bond were observed. Interresidue interactions between the His Cα proton and the two Pro Cδ protons revealed that the major isomer was the trans.
