Solution and solid state study of copper(II) ternary complexes with some dipeptides presence in Aβ-42 peptide and methionine
摘要:
The ternary complexes of Cu(II) with some dipeptides and methionine were studied both in aqueous solution and in solid state. The formation constants of copper(II) ternary complexes were calculated by potentiometric titration at 25 degrees C and mu = 0.1 mol L-1. The values of the constants for CulL(1)L(2) species (L-1 = GlyGly, GlyVal, GlyLeu or GlyPhe; L-2 = Met) were 15.66, 15.75, 15.69 and 16.31, respectively. The complexes [Cu(GlyGly)Met]K (1), [Cu(GlyVal)Met]K center dot 2H(2)O (2), [Cu(GlyLeu)(Met)(H2O)(2)]K center dot H2O (3) and [Cu(GlyPhe)(Met)(H2O)]K center dot 2H(2)O (4) were isolated in pH around 7 and characterized through microanalyses, thermogravimetry, UV-Vis, infrared and EPR spectroscopies. The presence of the sulfur noncoordinated to metal in these ternary complexes can exert reduction action in biological systems under stress conditions. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
