The SRXRF analysis of trace elements in Cu-binding proteins separated from Elsholtzia splendens roots
Through the gel filtration chromatography on Sephadex G-50
two different Cu-binding proteins were separated from copper treated Elsholtzia splendens roots. The elements distribution in the two Cu-binding proteins was investigated by SRXRF. The results showed that the Cu-chelate ability of Cu-binding protein 2 is better than that of Cu-binding protein 1. Besides
Pb
Fe
and Zn can compete with Cu to chelate the Cu-binding proteins. The content of element S is very low in the two Cu-binding proteins
which demonstrates that MTs or PCs are not dominant in the Cu-binding proteins in Elsholtzia splendens roots. The experiment also has proved that SRXRF can be used to study elements distribution in the protein separated by gel filtration chromatography.
