Reduction by Dithionite Ion of Adducts of Metmyoglobin
نویسنده
چکیده
The rate and equilibrium constants for the formation of a number of metmyoglobin species Mb+X (X = imidazole, imidazole-H-, 1-methylimidazole, 2-methylimidazole, 4-6 troimidazole, 2-methyl-5-nitroimidazole, pyridine, 2-, 3-, and 4-picoline) and the rates of their reduction by dithionite have been measured at 25”. Several different kinds of kinetic behavior for the reduction were observed. In all cases, a rate constant for direct reaction of Mb+X with SO*can be assessed. The data strongly support attack of SO,on the ligand, followed by electron transfer through the n system to the metal ion.

The rate constants for reduction by dithionite of a number of metmyoglobin species Mb+X(X=H2O, imidazole, OH-, F-, N3-, CNO-, SCN-, HCO2-, NO2-, and CN-) were measured at 25 degrees by stopped flow spectrophotometry. The dependence of the rate was [S2O42-]1/2, and the SO2- radical was considered to be the active reductant. Except for X=imidazole and CN-, reduction occurred through dissociation ...
متن کاملThe kinetics and mechanism of reduction of electron transfer proteins and other compounds of biological interest by dithionite.
The kinetics of the reduction by dithionite of several biochemically interesting substances has been investigated under anaerobic conditions by stopped flow spectrophotometry at pH 8.0 and 25”. Solutions of sodium dithionite were prepared and standardized by titration against lumiflavin 3-acetate in the absence of oxygen. Under pseudo-first order conditions (dithionite in excess) the reactions ...
متن کاملPreparation of Crystalline Oxymyoglobin from Horse Heart.
Recently great advances have been made in the preparation of pure myoglobin by the introduction of ion exchange cellulose column chromatography (1, 2). Myoglobin, however, shows a strong tendency to be oxidized to metmyoglobin during isolation procedures. For this reason all myoglobin preparations reported earlier were obtained in the form of metmyoglobin. Therefore, oxymyoglobin has usually be...
متن کاملIsolation of sperm whale myoglobin by low temperature fractionation with ethanol and metallic ions.
1. A method is described for the isolation and purification of myoglobin from sperm whale skeletal muscle. The aqueous extract is brought to 25 % ethanol by volume at 10 to lZ” and pH 6.5. A fraction precipitated with lead subacetate is discarded. Myoglobin is precipitated from the supernatant solution at pH 7.20 by adding zinc acetate to a concentration of approximately 10 InM. The precipitate...
