Redox pathways in electron - transfer proteins : Correlations between reactivities , solvent exposure , and unpaired - spin - density distributions ( cytochromes / iron - sulfur proteins / copper proteins )
The relative reactivities toward reduction by free flavin semiquinones of cytochromes (c-type cytochromes, cytochrome b5, c'-type cytochromes) iron-sulfur proteins (high-redox-potential ferredoxins, rubredoxins, low-redoxpotential ferredoxins), and blue copper proteins (plastocyanin, azurins) are shown to correlate with calculations of the solvent exposure of the various prosthetic groups. In t...
متن کاملDesign and fine-tuning redox potentials of metalloproteins involved in electron transfer in bioenergetics.
Redox potentials are a major contributor in controlling the electron transfer (ET) rates and thus regulating the ET processes in the bioenergetics. To maximize the efficiency of the ET process, one needs to master the art of tuning the redox potential, especially in metalloproteins, as they represent major classes of ET proteins. In this review, we first describe the importance of tuning the re...
متن کاملDevelopment of supramolecular metalloprotein mimics
Supramolecular mimics of metalloproteins, viz. cytochrome P-450 and ironsulfur proteins are described. The cytochrome P-450 mimic consists of a Mn porphyrin and a Rh complex which are incorporated within a vesicle membrane in water. This system catalyses the reductive activation of molecular oxygen in the epoxidation of alkenes at Mn, with reducing equivalents derived from the simultaneous Rh c...
متن کاملGreat metalloclusters in enzymology.
Metallocluster-containing enzymes catalyze some of the most basic redox transformations in the biosphere. The reactions catalyzed by these enzymes typically involve small molecules such as N2, CO, and H2 that are used to generate both chemical building blocks and energy for metabolic purposes. During the past decade, structures have been established for the iron-sulfur-based metalloclusters pre...
متن کاملApplication of Stopped-Flow and Time-Resolved X-Ray Absorption Spectroscopy to the Study of Metalloproteins Molecular Mechanisms
1.1 Metalloproteins as mediators of life processes Revealing detailed molecular mechanisms associated with metalloproteins is highly desired for the advancement of both basic and clinical research. Metalloproteins represent one of the most diverse classes of proteins, containing intrinsic metal ions which provide catalytic, regulatory, or structural roles critical to protein function. The metal...
