CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF RADIATION-INDUCED MYOGLOBIN COMPOUND II- INTERMEDIATE H AT PH 6.8
|
OverviewOverview
High resolution crystal structures of myoglobin in the pH range 5.2-8.7, have been used as models for the peroxide-derived compound II, intermediates in heme peroxidases and oxygenases. The observed Fe-O bond, length (1.86-1.90 A) is consistent with that of a single bond. The, compound II state of myoglobin in crystals was controlled by, single-crystal microspectrophotometry before and after synchrotron data, collection. We observe some radiation-induced changes in both compound II, (resulting in intermediate H) and in the resting ferric state of, myoglobin. These radiation-induced states are quite unstable, and compound, II and ferric myoglobin are immediately regenerated through a short, heating above the glass transition temperature (<1 s) of the crystals. It, is unclear how this influences our compound II structures compared with, the unaffected compound II, but some crystallographic data suggest that, the influence on the Fe-O bond distance is minimal. Based on our, crystallographic and spectroscopic data we suggest that for myoglobin the, compound II intermediate consists of an Fe(IV)-O species with a single, bond. The presence of Fe(IV) is indicated by a small isomer shift of delta, = 0.07 mm/s from Mossbauer spectroscopy. Earlier quantum refinements, (crystallographic refinement where the molecular-mechanics potential is, replaced by a quantum chemical calculation) and density functional theory, calculations suggest that this intermediate H species is protonated.
