Abstract
Some oxovanadium compounds have shown potential to inhibit RNase activity, while at the same time not inhibiting DNase activity. Some vanadyl complexes also inhibit protein synthesis in rabbit reticulocytes, but induce activation of proteintyrosine kinase. To gain an insight into the interaction of oxovanadium ions with proteins, the present study was designed to examine the bindings of VOSO 4 and NaVO 3 salts with human serum albumin (HSA) in aqueous solution at physiological pH with metal ion concentrations of 0.0001 to 1 mM and HSA (fatty acid free) concentration of 2% w/v. Gel and capillary electrophoresis (CE) and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopic methods were used to determine the metal ion binding mode, association constant, and the secondary structure of the protein in the presence of the oxovanadium compounds. Gel electrophoresis results showed that a maximum of 20 vanadyl cations (VO 2+ ) are bound per HSA molecule with strong (K 1 = 7.0 × 10 7 M 1 ) and weak (K 2 = 6.5 × 10 5 M 1 ) bindings. Similarly, capillary electrophoresis showed two major bindings for vanadyl cation with K 1 = 1.2 × 10 8 M 1 and K 2 = 8.5 × 10 5 M 1 , whereas vanadate (VO 3 ) has only a weak binding affinity (K = 6.0 × 10 3 M 1 ) with HSA molecule. The VO 3 binds mainly to the lysine ε-amino NH + 3 groups, while VO 2+ binds possibly to the histidine nitrogen atom and the N-terminal of the α-amine residue. Infrared spectroscopic analysis showed metal ion binding results in major protein secondary structural changes from that of the α-helix (55.0 to 4344%) to the β-sheet (22.0 to 2326%), β-antiparallel (12.0 to 1316%), and turn (11.0 to 1718%), at high metal ion concentration. The observed spectral changes indicate a partial unfolding of the protein structure, in the presence of oxovanadium ions.Key words: oxovanadium, protein, binding mode, binding constant, secondary structure, electrophoresis, FT-IR spectroscopy.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
