A comparative study on axial coordination and ligand binding in ferric mini myoglobin and horse heart myoglobin.
The absorption and resonance Raman spectra and the azide binding kinetics of ferric horse heart myoglobin (Mb) and mini myoglobin (a chemically truncated form of horse heart Mb containing residues 32-139) have been compared. The steady-state spectra show that an additional six-coordinated low-spin form (not present in entire horse heart Mb, which is purely six-coordinated high spin) predominate...
متن کاملSetting an Upper Limit on the Myoglobin Iron(IV)Hydroxide pKa: Insight into Axial Ligand Tuning in Heme Protein Catalysis
To provide insight into the iron(IV)hydroxide pK(a) of histidine ligated heme proteins, we have probed the active site of myoglobin compound II over the pH range of 3.9-9.5, using EXAFS, Mössbauer, and resonance Raman spectroscopies. We find no indication of ferryl protonation over this pH range, allowing us to set an upper limit of 2.7 on the iron(IV)hydroxide pK(a) in myoglobin. Together with...
متن کاملUnusual pressure effects on ligand rebinding to the human myoglobin Leucine 29 mutants.
Using high pressure flash photolysis, we revealed that the side chain of Leu(29) controls the reaction volume of the ligand migration process in myoglobin, which is the primary factor for the unusual activation volume of ligand binding in some Leu(29) mutants. As we previously reported (Adachi, S., Sunohara, N., Ishimori, K., and Morishima, I. (1992) J. Biol. Chem. 267, 12614-12621), CO bimolec...
متن کاملProximal ligand motions in H93G myoglobin.
Resonance Raman spectroscopy has been used to observe changes in the iron-ligand stretching frequency in photoproduct spectra of the proximal cavity mutant of myoglobin H93G. The measurements compare the deoxy ferrous state of the heme iron in H93G(L), where L is an exogenous imidazole ligand bound in the proximal cavity, to the photolyzed intermediate of H93G(L)*CO at 8 ns. There are significa...
متن کاملResonance Raman Studies of Heme Axial Ligation in H93G Myoglobin
The resonant Raman active mode identified in numerous studies as the heme iron-histidine stretch has been systematically investigated in the Raman spectrum of 15 exogenous ligands to the heme iron in the myoglobin proximal cavity mutant H93G. Mutation of the native histidine 93 of myoglobin to glycine (H93G) creates a cavity at the heme iron that can be filled with exogenous ligands. Substitute...
