Ligand Binding to Heme Proteins
The 02, CO, and alkyl isocyanide-binding properties of a variety of vertebrate and invertebrate heme proteins have been compared in detail to those of protoheme mOn0-3-( 1-imidazoy1)-propylamide monomethyl ester in aqueous suspensions of soap micelles. The proteins examined include: cytochrome P-450,,, from Pseudomonasputida, beef heart cytochrome c oxidase, yeast cytochrome c peroxidase, a and...
متن کاملModeling non-heme iron proteins.
Synthetic modeling studies of non-heme iron proteins continue to contribute to our understanding of the mechanism of these proteins. Recently, mononuclear Fe(IV)=O complexes have been prepared and characterized to model the same species that are proposed to be the reactive intermediates in reactions involving mononuclear non-heme iron proteins. Generation of such species for the oxidation of or...
متن کاملStructure-function relationships in heme-proteins.
Biological systems rely on heme-proteins to carry out a number of basic functions essential for their survival. Hemes, or iron-porphyrin complexes, are the versatile and ubiquitous active centers of these proteins. In the past decade, discovery of new heme-proteins, together with functional and structural research, provided a wealth of information on these diverse and biologically important mol...
متن کاملCarbon monoxide-driven reduction of ferric heme and heme proteins.
Oxidized cytochrome c oxidase in a carbon monoxide atmosphere slowly becomes reduced as shown by changes in its visible spectra and its reactivity toward oxygen. The "auto-reduction" of cytochrome c oxidase by this procedure has been used to prepare mixed valence hybrids. We have found that this process is a general phenomenon for oxygen-binding heme proteins, and even for isolated hemin in bas...
متن کاملHeme Proteins, Heme Oxygenase-1 and Oxidative Stress
Heme is ferrous protoporphyrin-IX that is the prosthetic group of hemoproteins, such as hemoglobin, myoglobin and cytochromes that are of vital importance. In contrast, “free heme”, a protein-unbound heme, that is either just synthesized but yet not incorporated into hemoproteins, or that is released from hemoprotein under oxidative conditions, is highly toxic, since it catalyzes the production...
