Interactions in solution of calcium(II) and copper(II) with nucleoside monophosphates: a calorimetric study
2000
The thermodynamic parameters enthalpy and entropy of the interaction between calcium(II) or copper(II) with 5′-UMP, 5′-CMP, 5′-AMP, 5′-GMP or 5′-IMP in aqueous solution were determined calorimetrically (ionic strength adjusted to 0.1 with tetramethylammonium bromide) at 25 °C and pH 7 for Ca(II) or pH 3–5 for Cu(II). The experimental conditions were carefully selected to avoid polynuclear complex formation and nucleotide self-stacking. The calorimetric data confirm the tendency toward macrochelation which was indicated by Sigel after very precise potentiometric studies, and which follows the order Cu(II)>Ca(II) for the metal ions and GMP>IMP>AMP>CMP=UMP for the nucleotides. Macrochelate formation for these metal-nucleoside monophosphate complexes is energetically favorable and entropically unfavorable.
