Mechanisms of the Reactions of Cytochrome c RATE AND EQUILIBRIUM CONSTANTS FOR LIGAND BINDING TO HORSE HEART FERRICYTO-
نویسندگان
چکیده
Kinetic and equilibrium data for the binding of azide, imidazole, and pyridine to horse heart ferricytochrome c have been obtained by conventional spectrophotometric and stopped flow techniques. The stability constants of the 1: 1 complexes formed between ferricytochrome c and the ligands are: azide, 4.5 M-‘; imidazole, 15.3 M-l; and pyridine, 2.4 M-l, at 25”, pH 7, and 1.0 M ionic strength. These measurements are consistent with a model in which the added ligands bind to the iron by displacing the coordinated methionine-80. The kinetic data indicate a rate constant of about 60 s-* for the rupture of the iron-sulfur bond.

متن کاملKinetics of Ligand-binding and Oxidation- Reduction Reactions of Cytochrome c from Horse Heart and Can&& krusei*
Reactions of cytochromes c from horse heart and Candida krusei (a yeast) were studied at 25” under pseudo-first order conditions by a flow technique. The rate law for the reduction of C. krusei by Cr(I1) (pH 6.0, p = 1.0 M) in chloride is kobs = a[Cr(II)]/(l + b[Cr(II)]), where a and b are 1.0 x 10’ M-’ s-l and 167 f 38 ~-l, respectively. The binding of imidazole (Im) to C. krusei conforms to t...

In order to study the effects of chemical modifications of the vinyl groups of heme on oxygen and carbon monoxide binding to myoglobin, apomyoglobins from horse heart were reconstituted with six different hemins with various side chains. Laser flash photolysis experiments of these reconstituted myoglobins showed that the combination rate constants for oxygen (k') and carbon monoxide (l') were c...
متن کاملSome electron-transfer reactions involving carbodi-imide-modified cytochrome c.
The reaction kinetics of native and carbodi-imide-modified tuna and horse heart cytochromes c with both a strong (dithionite) and a relatively weak (ascorbate) reducing agent were studied over a wide range of conditions. In their reactions with dithionite both the native and modified cytochromes exhibit single exponential time courses. The effects of dithionite concentration and ionic strength ...
