Theoretical characterization of carbon monoxide vibrational spectrum in sperm whale myoglobin distal pocket.

چکیده
In this article we use the perturbed matrix method and an extended molecular dynamics sampling of the carbon monoxide (CO) in the myoglobin distal pocket to characterize the CO vibrational spectrum and hence to relate its spectroscopic features with the atomic-molecular behavior. Results show the accuracy of the method employed and confirm the assignment of the spectroscopic B1 and B2 states proposed by Lim et al.

A study of vibrational relaxation of B-state carbon monoxide in the heme pocket of photolyzed carboxymyoglobin.
The vibrational energy relaxation of dissociated carbon monoxide in the heme pocket of sperm whale myoglobin has been studied using equilibrium molecular dynamics simulation and normal mode analysis methods. Molecular dynamics trajectories of solvated myoglobin were run at 300 K for both the delta- and epsilon-tautomers of the distal histidine, His64. Vibrational population relaxation times wer...

متن کاملSelective Examination of Heme Protein Azide Ligand-Distal Globin Interactions by Vibrational Circular Dichroism
Vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectra of the antisymmetric stretch of azide ligated to the heme of a series of evolutionarily diverse and site-directed mutant hemoglobins and myoglobins are anomalously intense and demonstrate an intriguing sensitivity to subtle protein-ligand interactions. The antisymmetric stretch of the azide ligand covalently bound to the low-spin iron shows an anisot...
متن کاملTime-dependent atomic coordinates for the dissociation of carbon monoxide from myoglobin.
Picosecond time-resolved crystallography was used to follow the dissociation of carbon monoxide from the heme pocket of a mutant sperm whale myoglobin and the resultant conformational changes. Electron-density maps have previously been created at various time points and used to describe amino-acid side-chain and carbon monoxide movements. In this work, difference refinement was employed to gene...
متن کاملTyrosine B10 inhibits stabilization of bound carbon monoxide and oxygen in soybean leghemoglobin.
Detailed comparisons of the carbon monoxide FTIR spectra and ligand-binding properties of a library of E7, E11, and B10 mutants indicate significant differences in the role of electrostatic interactions in the distal pockets of wild-type sperm whale myoglobin and soybean leghemoglobin. In myoglobin, strong hydrogen bonds from several closely related conformations of the distal histidine (His(E7...
