✦ Synopsis
A calorimetric study at 25°C is reported on the interaction between allosteric bovine seminal ribonuclease and cytidine-3'-phosphate. The results are compared with those obtained under identical experimental conditions for the interaction of pancreatic ribonuclease A and the same nucleotide. The analysis of the data provides evidence that the binding sites of seminal ribonuclease for cytidine3-phosphate are not equivalent, in agreement with previous equilibrium dialysis studies. A model with two sites with different affinities toward the nucleotide, the site with higher affinity resembling the binding site of pancreatic ribonuclease, is proposed. The values calculated for the thermodynamic parameters provide an insight of the forces involved in the interaction of the two enzymes with the nucleotide.
