Abstract
The use of fluoride ion, as a novel nuclear magnetic resonance relaxation probe of paramagnetic metalloenzymes, has been tested on galactose oxidase. The concentration dependence of the F- longitudinal relaxation rates, R1 = 1/T1, and competition studies with CN demonstrate that F binds to the enzyme at or near the Cu2+ site with a binding constant of the order of 1 M-1. Competition studies with galactose indicate that a ternary or higher order complex between enzyme, galactose and F- is formed.
