摘要: Myoglobin has the ability to react with hydrogen peroxide, generating high-valent complexes similar peroxidases (compounds I and II), in presence of excess peroxide a third intermediate, compound III, an oxymyoglobin-type structure is generated from II. The III is, however, easily one-electron reduced peroxymyoglobin by synchrotron radiation during crystallograpic data collection. We have solved 1.30 angstrom (1 angstrom= 0.1 nin) resolution crystal which isoelectric 0 Fe-O distance 1.8 O-O bond 1.3 accordance Fe-II-O-O- (or Fe-III-O-O2-) structure. generation peroxy intermediate through reduction X-rays shows importance using single-crystal microspectrophotometry when doing crystallography on metal loproteins. After having collected crystallographic peroxy-generated myoglobin crystal, we were able (by short annealing) break leading formation These results indicate that cryoradiolytic-generated biologically relevant its conversion into II upon heating. Additionally, observed Xe1 site occupied water molecule, might be leaving group reaction. (Less)
