| Abstract | A method was developed for the determination of the stoichiometric Zn/protein ratio for the Aeromonas hydrophila metallo beta-lactamase AE036. Capillary electrophoresis (CE) was used to separate free Zn ions from the Zn bound to the metalloprotein, the only Zn-species which is biochemically relevant. An inductively coupled plasma-sector field-mass spectrometer (ICP-SF-MS), operated at a mass resolution of 3000, was used as an element-specific detector. If the primary structure of the protein and thus the number of sulfur-containing amino acids is known, as is the case for Aeromonas hydrophila Zn beta-lactamase, monitoring of both Zn and S with ICP-SF-MS permits the Zn/protein ratio to be determined. The method was optimised in order to obtain short migration times (less than 10 min) for the metallo beta-lactamase and for standards with bare fused silica capillaries. After optimisation, a 75 mmol L−1 bis-Tris background electrolyte buffered at a pH of 6.75 was used for the separation, a voltage of 30 kV was applied over a capillary with a total length of approximately 70 cm and the sample was introduced hydrodynamically at 1000 mbar s. Quantitative results (stoichiometric Zn/protein ratio of 1 and 2, before and after saturation of the enzyme with Zn, respectively) were obtained using external calibration with albumin as a S standard and ZnCl2 as a Zn standard. The method was also demonstrated to be precise with < 5% RSD on the Zn/protein ratio for n = 3. An absolute limit of detection of 8 ng of A. hydrophila Zn beta-lactamase (calculated on the basis of sulfur) was obtained under these conditions. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
