Abstract
Two chromatographic methods for hen egg yolk phosvitin purification avoiding organic solvents were evaluated. Hydrophobic interaction and ion-exchange chromatographies were applied to isolated phosvitin. Hydrophobic interaction chromatography has better capacity than ion-exchange chromatography to fractionate phosvitin in their different polypeptides, but its protein yield was lower (0.7 vs. 1.7% of egg yolk dry matter). Finally, ion-exchange chromatography was selected and allowed to fractionate phosvitin polypeptides, including the recovering of phosphoproteins with high electrophoretic mobility: phosvettes. Highly purified (>98%) and free metal protein was obtained in reduced time. Phosvitin polypeptide heterogeneity was evidenced.

Abstract
Phosphorylation and glycosylation are important posttranslational events in the biosynthesis of proteins. The different degrees of phosphorylation and glycosylation of proteins have been an intriguing phenomenon. Advances in genetic engineering have made it possible to control the degree of glycosylation and phosphorylation of proteins. Structural biology of phosphorylated and glycosylated proteins has been advancing at a much slower pace due to difficulties in using high-resolution NMR studies in solution phase. Major difficulties have arisen from the inherent mobilities of phosphorylated and glycosylated side chains. This paper reviews molecular and structural biology of phosphorylated and glycosylated proteins expressed in eukaryotic expression systems which are especially suited for large-scale production of these proteins. In our laboratory, we have observed that eukaryotic expression systems are particularly suited for the expression of thermostable light-activated proteins, e.g., bacteriorhodopsins and plastocyanins.

Abstract
Raman optical activity (ROA) spectra have been measured for the proteins hen phosvitin, yeast invertase, bovine alpha-casein, soybean Bowman-Birk protease inhibitor, and rabbit Cd(7)-metallothionein, all of which have irregular folds in the native state. The results show that ROA is able to distinguish between two types of disorder. Specifically, invertase, alpha-casein, the Bowman-Birk inhibitor, and metallothionein appear to possess a "static" type of disorder similar to that in disordered states of poly(L-lysine) and poly(L-glutamic acid); whereas phosvitin appears to possess a more "dynamic" type of disorder similar to that in reduced (unfolded) lysozyme and ribonuclease A and also in molten globule protein states. In the delimiting cases, static disorder corresponds to that found in loops and turns within native proteins with well-defined tertiary folds that contain sequences of residues with fixed but nonrepetitive phi,psi angles; and dynamic disorder corresponds to that envisaged for the model random coil in which there is a distribution of Ramachandran phi,psi angles for each amino acid residue, giving rise to an ensemble of interconverting conformers. In both cases there is a propensity for the phi,psi angles to correspond to the alpha, beta and poly(L-proline) II (PPII) regions of the Ramachandran surface, as in native proteins with well-defined tertiary folds. Our results suggest that, with the exception of invertase and metallothionein, an important conformational element present in the polypeptide and protein states supporting the static type of disorder is that of the PPII helix. Long sequences of relatively unconstrained PPII helix, as in alpha-casein, may impart a plastic (rheomorphic) character to the structure.

Abstract
A novel descriptor for protein structure is examined here that goes beyond predictions of the average fractional components (FC) of a few conformational types and represents the number and interconnection of segments of continuous, well-defined secondary structural elements such as alpha-helices and beta-sheets. This matrix descriptor can be predicted from optical spectra using neural network methods. The new matrix plus traditional FC descriptors can be quickly and generally obtained to provide a level of detail not previously derived from optical spectra and a discrimination between proteins that might otherwise be viewed as being very similar using just the FC descriptor. As an example of its potential utilization, this matrix descriptor approach was applied to an analysis of both the native state and the reversible thermal denaturation of ribonuclease T1 in H2O. Analyses of the FTIR spectral data indicate initial loss of the major helical segment at 50-55 degrees C but with little accompanying change in the number of sheet segments or the sheet FC values. Circular dichroism (CD) and vibrational CD data are also used to support this interpretation based on FC changes with temperature. Parallel analysis of the corresponding data for this protein in D2O demonstrates that the method is sensitive to the match between the degree of H-D exchange used to prepare samples for the unknown and the reference data set.

Abstract
Vibrational CD (VCD) and electronic CD (ECD) spectra of some sequential Lys and Leu based oligo- and polypeptides were studied as a function of added salt and (for ECD) as a function of concentration in aqueous solution. For these samples, the VCD spectra can only be measured at relatively high concentrations under which the well-known salt-induced transition to a beta-sheet form can be observed for the KL based species, but only the end-state alpha-helical conformation is obvious for the LKKL based samples. ECD concentration dependence demonstrates that, at high concentration with no added or with added salt, LKKL based oligomers and polymers give alpha-helical spectra. These data provide evidence of aggregation induced secondary structure formation in an exceptionally simple peptide system. Similarly, the KL based oligomers and polymers give beta-sheet like spectra at high concentration or at high salt. These systems further provide model systems under "normal" aqueous conditions that yield VCD band shapes that correlate to the major secondary structural types of polypeptides. They are in substantial agreement with those spectra obtained on homopolypeptides and on proteins, confirming the relative independence of the VCD technique from side-chain and solvent effects.

Abstract
Vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) has been shown to be sensitive to secondary structure in proteins and peptides and has been used as the basis for quantitative secondary-structure-prediction algorithms. However, the accuracy of these algorithms is not matched by the apparent qualitative sensitivity of the VCD spectra. This report provides examples of the use of VCD to follow structural change spectrally and to clarify the qualitative nature of the structural changes underlying the spectral variation. The VCD spectra and the complementary UV electronic CD (ECD) and FTIR spectra of alpha-lactalbumin (LA) have been studied as a function of pH, denaturation, Ca2+ ion and solvent conditions for several species. Spectral data for lysozyme were compared with those of LA because of their very similar crystal structures. In fact, these proteins in D2O-based pH 7 solution have quite different spectra using these optical techniques. Even for the LA proteins, the human differs from the bovine and goat species. Furthermore, under low pH conditions, where the LAs are in a reversibly denatured, molten globule form, the spectra are more similar, species variation is minimal and the spectral differences from lysozyme are in fact smaller. Our data are consistent with native, pH 7, alpha-lactalbumin having a less well organized structure than lysozyme, possibly in a dynamic sense. Conversely, in the low-pH, molten globule form of LA, tertiary structure is lost which could relax constraints that might distort the helical segments in the native form. The differences between the interpretation of our results and those from X-ray and NMR data may be due to motional sampling of various geometries in LA which all contribute to the spectral signatures seen in optical spectra but whose contributions are washed out in NMR or frozen out in the crystal structure. Part of this flexibility may relate to the rather large 3(10)-helical content in the LA protein structure. Fluctionality may have specific functional effects, perhaps allowing LA to bind better to beta-galactosyl transferase and form the biologically active lactose synthetase complex.

Abstract
Vibrational circular dichroism, electronic circular dichroism and infrared absorption with Fourier self-deconvolution have been used for a conformational study of the small form, G2, of glucoamylase, 1,4-alpha-D-glucan glucohydrolase from Aspergillus niger (EC 3.2.1.3) in aqueous solution. From the temperature dependence of spectra measured from 25 degrees C to 60 degrees C it was seen that the helical content is relatively constant to 50 degrees C and then sharply decreases by a factor of more than three by 60 degrees C. This decrease in helix is primarily compensated by a rise in the fraction of beta-sheet; but bend, turn and 'other' components also increase. By comparison of the three techniques, it was determined that the electronic CD analysis was quantitatively in error due to interference by glycosidic residues. The inherent resolution of the vibrational techniques, FTIR and VCD, avoids such interference.

Abstract
CD spectroscopic studies on protected peptides containing lysine and serine, or phosphoserine, and on serine-containing fragments of the neurofilament protein midsized subunit, both in the unphosphorylated and phosphorylated form, are reported. The introduction of the phosphoryl group was not found to have a significant spectral effect in aqueous solution. In trifluoroethanol (TFE), spectral shifts toward unordered (type U) spectra or the appearance of distorted spectra likely reflect the adoption of aperiodic polypeptide conformations due to salt bridge(s) between negatively charged phosphoserine and positive lysine side-chain groups. A turn-stabilizing effect of phosphorylation was also observed. CD-monitored titration experiments in TFE revealed a high conformational sensitivity of phosphopeptides toward Ca2+ ions. The appearance of the unordered spectra or spectral shifts were the sign of a bulk disordering effect of Ca2+ ions. Spectra with specific spectroscopic features reflect the formation of Ca2+ complexes and the adoption of ordered unique backbone conformations. When ordered structures were obtained on addition of Ca2+ ions, the observed CD curves showed a resemblance to the spectrum of beta-pleated sheets. This may originate from chain extension and the formation of beta-pleated sheet segments fixed by Ca2+ bridges between PO3H-1 groups of adjacent peptide chains. The data clearly show that the effect of the Ca2+ ions is highly specific: the sequence, chain length, presence and distribution of charged side-chain groups, degree and site of phosphorylation, and environmental factors appear to be determining in the process of chain extension or beta-sheet formation.

Abstract
The IR absorption frequencies as derived from second derivatives of the Fourier transform IR spectra of the amide I' bands of globular proteins in D2O are compared to those obtained from band fitting of the vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectra. The two sets of frequencies are in very good agreement, yielding consistent ranges where amide I' VCD and IR features occur. Use of VCD to complement the IR allows one to add sign information to the frequency information so that features occurring in the overlapping frequency ranges that might arise from different secondary structures can be better discriminated. From this comparison, it is clear that correlation just of the frequency of a given IR transition to secondary structure can lead to a nonunique solution. Different sign patterns were identified for correlated groups of globular proteins in restricted frequency ranges that have been previously assigned to defined secondary structural elements. Hence, different secondary structural elements must contribute band components to a given frequency range.

Abstract
The "random coil" conformational problem is examined by comparison of vibrational CD (VCD) spectra of various polypeptide model systems with that of proline oligomers [(Pro)n] and poly(L-proline). VCD, ir and uv CD spectra of blocked L-proline oligopeptides [(Pro)n, n = 2-12] in different solvents are reported and compared to the spectra of poly(L-proline) II, poly(L-glutamic acid), and unblocked proline oligomers. Based on the chain-length dependence of the VCD and electronic CD (ECD) spectra of proline oligomers, it is established that VCD spectra are dominated by short-range interactions. The VCD of random coil model polypeptides is shown to be identical in shape but smaller in magnitude than poly(L-proline) II and of similar magnitude to that of (Pro)n (n = 3, 4). Based on the spectral evidence, it is concluded that the "random coil" conformation has a large fraction of helical regions, conformationally similar to the left-handed, 3(1) polyproline II helix, as was previously suggested by Krimm and co-workers. This conclusion is further supported by studies of effects of salt (CaCl2, LiBr, LiClO4), temperature (5-75 degrees C), and pH on the VCD spectra of L-proline oligomers, poly(L-proline) II, and poly(L-glutamic acid). These show that, after each of these perturbations, a significant local ordering remains in the oligomers and polymers studied, and that charged polypeptides such as poly(L-glutamic acid) are more flexible than are polyproline or even L-proline oligomers.

Abstract
The electronic (ultraviolet) circular dichroism (UVCD) and vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) of 20 proteins are systematically compared as to their relationship to the secondary structures of these proteins. The UVCD spectra are statistically treated by use of the same factor analysis methods used previously for VCD. The UVCD spectra can be reproduced as linear combinations of five subspectra. The first subspectrum reflected the expected alpha-helical UVCD shape, particularly at longer wavelengths, while the higher order ones had less obvious similarity to standard bandshapes. Cluster analysis on the UVCD factor analysis coefficients reflected the clustering on the basis of the fractional secondary structure parameters (from X-ray) but was less clear than VCD. Qualitative complementarity of protein VCD and UVCD spectra was demonstrated by combined cluster analysis of their respective factor analysis coefficients. Quantitative relationships between spectral coefficients and fractional secondary structure were determined by multiple regression analyses using only statistically important coefficients. These resulted in an ability to reproduce four of the structural parameters with errors for individual proteins comparable to the VCD result. In UVCD, the standard deviations of the regression fit for beta-sheet were worse and for the undefined part of the structure were better than in VCD. Parallel analyses using the partial least-squares method showed UVCD in that case to have more error than VCD in reproducing the training set structural parameters. Comparison of the regression and partial least-squares methods illustrated limitations of total back-transformation of the UVCD spectra into structural parameters.
