摘要: The composition of ferric exogenous ligand-free His93Gly sperm whale myoglobin (H93G Mb) at neutral pH has been determined by examination the spectral properties protein over range from 3.0 to 10.5. An apparent pKa value ~6.6 observed for conversion a postulated six-coordinate bis-water-bound coordination structure 5.0 five-coordinate hydroxide-bound form Starting H93G protein, mono- and bis-thioether (tetrahydrothiophene, THT)-ligated adducts have prepared characterized UV-visible (UV-vis) absorption magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) spectroscopy. mon-THT Mb species hydroxide as sixth ligand. bis-THT derivative is model low-spin heme binding site native bis-Met-ligated bacterioferritin or streptococcal heme-associated (Shp). A novel THT-bound ferryl moiety partially formed. high-spin H93G(selenolate) complex using benzeneselenol UV-vis MCD spectroscopy Se-Cys-ligated cytochrome P450. results described herein further demonstrate versatility cavity mutant modeling structures iron active sites.
