| Abstract | The kinetics of formation of both the tyrosinate ion (from its absorption at 296 nm) and the deprotonated Schiff base (M412) (from its absorption at 404 nm) are studied simultaneously at different pH values (7-11) and temperatures (5-25 degrees C). Two formation rates are observed for M412 in agreement with previous observations. The slow one is dominant under physiological conditions and is found to be slightly faster than that for the tyrosinate formation. This is in disagreement with the proposal that the tyrosinate formation is a prerequisite to the deprotonation of the Schiff base (M412). The ratio of the amplitudes of the fast and slow components is found to be sensitive to pH and, at any pH, it can be used to calculate an amino acid pKa value of 9.6. This is explained by proposing the existence of two sites for the protonated Schiff base within the protein. In one site, the Schiff base is near the neutral form of an amino acid residue with a pKa value of 9.6 (giving rise to the slow component), while in the other, it is near its conjugate base. The formation of the tyrosinate ion as well as the formation of the slow and fast components of M412 all have activation energies that are comparable to H-bond energies. A model is suggested to account for this and the comparable deprotonation rates of tyrosine and the slow component of the protonated Schiff base. It involves the reduction of their pKa by their exposure to a positively charged species. |

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.
