Md Simulations of Carbonmonoxy Myoglobin and Calculations of Heme Cd
i The Soret circular dichroism (CD) spectrum of carbonmonoxy myoglobin dtifers strikingly for the two heme isomers: Aqzl =+90 M-’cm-’ for isomer A, AQ21 = -7 M-’cm-’ for isomer B (Aojula et al., BiochemJ. 250, 853(1988)). This observation implies significant differences in the protein conformation andlor distortions of the heme from planarity between the two isomers. Molecular dynamics simulati...
متن کاملPrimary protein response after ligand photodissociation in carbonmonoxy myoglobin.
Time-resolved UV resonance Raman (UVRR) spectroscopic studies of WT and mutant myoglobin were performed to reveal the dynamics of protein motion after ligand dissociation. After dissociation of carbon monoxide (CO) from the heme, UVRR bands of Tyr showed a decrease in intensity with a time constant of 2 ps. The intensity decrease was followed by intensity recovery with a time constant of 8 ps. ...
متن کاملAnharmonic quantum contribution to vibrational dephasing.
Based on a quantum Langevin equation and its corresponding Hamiltonian within a c-number formalism we calculate the vibrational dephasing rate of a cubic oscillator. It is shown that leading order quantum correction due to anharmonicity of the potential makes a significant contribution to the rate and the frequency shift. We compare our theoretical estimates with those obtained from experiments...
متن کاملProbing the role of hydration in the unfolding transitions of carbonmonoxy myoglobin and apomyoglobin.
We show that the equilibrium unfolding transition of horse carbonmonoxy myoglobin monitored by the stretching vibration of the CO ligand, a local environmental probe, is very sharp and, thus, quite different from those measured by global conformational reporters. In addition, the denatured protein exhibits an A(0)-like CO band. We hypothesize that this sharp transition reports penetration of wa...
متن کاملCarbonmonoxy Rebinding Kinetics in H93G Myoglobin: Separation of Proximal and Distal Side Effects
The kinetics of carbon monoxide (CO) recombination in H93G myoglobin has been studied as a function of temperature in aqueous buffer solution and in 75% glycerol/buffer solutions. H93G adducts with imidazole (Im), 4-methyl imidazole (4-Me Im), 1-methyl imidazole (1-Me Im), and 4-bromoimidazole (4-Br Im) were analyzed by means of three-state and four-state sequential models. Rate constants for t...
