Cibacron Blue and Congo Red bound tightly to nucleotide-binding enzymes, and the former dye has proven useful in affinity chromatography of such enzymes. The conformation of such dyes when bound to enzymes is of interest because it has been suggested that their affinity for an enzyme results from an ability to mimic the conformation of the bound cofactor. The interaction of Cibacron Blue and Congo Red with several dehydrogenases (bovine lactic dehydrogenase, equine, and yeast alcohol dehydrogenase) and kinases (porcine adenylate kinase and yeast phosphoglycerate kinase) and aldolase was studied by induced circular dichroism (CD), binding measurements and competition with the appropriate coenzymes or substrates. Benzopurpurin 4B, a dimethyl analogue of Congo Red and Cibacron Blue linked to dextran or Sepharose matrices were used to examine the sensitivity of the interaction to perturbations of the dye structure. The dyes under consideration are not highly specific analogues of nucleotides or coenzymes. These dyes do not assume a single unique conformation on different enzymes possessing the dinucleotide fold. The induced CD indicates that for closely related proteins or small variations in dye structure the conformation of the bound dye quite similar. Despite the lack of a unique conformation for these dyes Cibacron Blue and Congo Red are valuable conformational probes for nucleotide-binding enzymes, in addition to their usefulness in affinity chromatography.
