| Abstract | The crystal structure of the Escherichia coli lactose permease at 3.5 A with a bound substrate has been reported recently. The structure reveals the sugar-protein contacts, which include hydrophobic stacking between the galactopyranosyl ring of substrate and the indole side chain of Trp-151, as proposed previously. The nature of this interaction is studied here by exploiting the luminescence properties of Trp-151 in a mutant devoid of other tryptophan residues. The following phenomena are observed. (i) The fluorescence emission spectrum of Trp-151 and fluorescence-quenching experiments with water-soluble quenchers demonstrate that Trp-151 is in a hydrophilic environment. (ii) Substrate binding leads to a blue shift in the emission spectrum and reduction in accessibility to polar quenchers, indicating that Trp-151 becomes less exposed to aqueous solvent. (iii) The phosphorescence spectrum of Trp-151 is red-shifted in the presence of substrate, indicating charge separation of the triplet state due to a direct stacking interaction between the galactopyranosyl and indole rings. The spectroscopic data fully complement the x-ray structure and demonstrate the feasibility of fluorescence spectroscopy for studying sugar-protein interactions. |

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.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
