Time-resolved optical absorption studies of cytochrome oxidase dynamics.
Time-resolved spectroscopic studies in our laboratory of bovine heart cytochrome c oxidase dynamics are summarized. Intramolecular electron transfer was investigated upon photolysis of CO from the mixed-valence enzyme, by pulse radiolysis, and upon light-induced electron injection into the cytochrome c/cytochrome oxidase complex from a novel photoactivatable dye. The reduction of dioxygen to wa...
متن کاملNear-infrared time-resolved optical absorption studies of the reaction of fully reduced cytochrome c oxidase with dioxygen.
Electron transfer during the reaction of fully reduced bovine heart cytochrome oxidase with dioxygen has been studied at 24 degrees C in the near-infrared region following photolysis of the fully reduced CO-bound complex. The transient spectral changes and kinetics were followed on microsecond to millisecond time scales at nine different wavelengths between 597 and 935 nm and were analyzed usin...
متن کاملRedox-linked protein dynamics of cytochrome c probed by time-resolved surface enhanced infrared absorption spectroscopy.
Time-resolved surface enhanced infrared absorption (SEIRA) spectroscopy is employed to analyse the dynamics of the protein structural changes coupled to the electron transfer process of immobilised cytochrome c (Cyt-c). Upon electrostatic binding of Cyt-c to Au electrodes coated with self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of carboxyl-terminated thiols, cyclic voltammetric measurements demonstrate a r...
متن کاملStudies on Cytochrome Oxidase
Ever since cytochrome oxidase was first solubilized from heart muscle preparations by Yakushiji and Okunuki (1) and Straub (2) in 1941, the further purification of this enzyme has been the subject of studies by many workers, using extraction with bile salts (3-14), or digestive enzymes such as trypsin (6, 7) and snake venom (15), fractionation with ammonium sulfate (5-14), chromatography (9, 12...
متن کاملTime-resolved infrared absorption studies of the solvent-dependent vibrational relaxation dynamics of chlorine dioxide.
We report a series of time-resolved infrared absorption studies on chlorine dioxide (OClO) dissolved in H2O, D2O, and acetonitrile. Following the photoexcitation at 401 nm, the evolution in optical density for frequencies corresponding to asymmetric stretch of OClO is measured with a time resolution of 120+/-50 fs. The experimentally determined optical-density evolution is compared with theoret...
