The characterization of energized and partially de-energized (respiration-independent) β-galactoside transport into escherichia coli

Unidirectional fluxes of [¹⁴C]lactose by whole cells of Escherichia coli under highly energized and partially de-energized (in the presence of CN^?) conditions are analyzed kinetically.When the cells are energized, the value for $\text{V}$ influx is $\text{0.45 ± 0.01}\text{mM}$ internal concentration increment/s and $\text{K}{}_{\mathrm{t}}$ is $\text{0.26 ± 0.03}\text{mM}$. At an external concentration of 0.61 mM the steady-state internal concentration is 0.25 M, reached after about 1h. The maximum steady-state concentration ratio is $\text{2 · 10}{}^3$.The efflux process under these conditions is non-saturable, being linearly dependent upon internal concentration over the range 25–250 mM with a first-order rate constant of $\text{8.8 ± 0.2 · 10}{}^{\mathrm{?4}}\text{s}{}^{\mathrm{?1}}$.The transport in the presence of CN^? is active, with a maximum concentration ratio (internal concentration/external concentration) of 104, and the uptake is mimicked by anoxia (< 70 ppm O₂).The effects of CN^? are to lower the $\text{V}$ for influx and to change the efflux from a non-saturable to a saturable process with a value for $\text{K}{}_{\mathrm{t}}$ (60 mM) intermediate between that for energized efflux ($\text{> 250}\text{mM}$) and influxe (0.3–0.6 mM), the latter value not changing appreciably. Partial de-energization thus affects both the influx and efflux processes.     

Biochemical adaptation of mitochondria,muscle, and whole-animal respiration to endurance training

The experimental intervention of exercise training has been used to study mitochondrial biosynthesis, and the physiologic integration of subcellular, cellular, and whole-animal energetics. Gross mitochondrial composition was unchanged in rat muscle by a 10-week program of endurance treadmill running. The mitochondrial concentration of iron-sulfur clusters, cytochromes, flavoprotein, dehydrogenases, oxidases, and membrane protein and lipid, as well as the ratios of each component to the others, maintained constant proportions. The mitochondrial content of muscle, however, increased by approximately 100% as did absolute tissue oxidative capacity. The soluble portions of mitochondria maintained a constant total protein content and mass, relative to the membrane fraction, despite adaptive changes in the specific activities of some citric acid-cycle enzymes. Mitochondria from endurance-trained muscles generated normal transmembrane potentials, ADP/O ratios, and respiratory control ratios. Muscle oxidase activity was highly correlated (r = 0.92) with endurance capacity, which increased 403%. Whole-animal maximal O₂ consumption (), however, increased only 14% and was a relatively poor predictor of endurance. Thus, mitochondrial factors, rather than , must play an important role in dictating the limits of endurance activity. Conversely, was strongly related to the maximal intensity of work which could be attained aerobically (r = 0.82). Comparison of O₂ consumption at the mitochondrial, muscle, and whole-animal levels revealed that maximal muscle oxidase activity was not an absolute limitation to : It is concluded that other factors intervene to control the percentage of muscle O₂ consumption capacity which may be utilized during exercise.     

Respiration-driven proton translocation with nitrite and nitrous oxide in Paracoccus denitrificans

(1) $\text{H}$⁺/electron acceptor ratios have been determined with the oxidant pulse method for cells of denitrifying Paracoccus denitrificans oxidizing endogenous substrates during reduction of O₂, NO^?₂ or N₂O. Under optimal H⁺-translocation conditions, the ratios $\text{H}{}^{\mathrm{+}}\text{O}$, $\text{H}{}^{\mathrm{+}}\text{N}{}_2\text{O}$, $\text{H}{}^{\mathrm{+}}\text{NO}{}^{\mathrm{?}}{}_2$ for reduction to N₂ and $\text{H}{}^{\mathrm{+}}\text{NO}{}^{\mathrm{?}}{}_2$ for reduction to N₂O were 6.0–6.3, 4.02, 5.79 and 3.37, respectively. (2) With ascorbate/N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine as exogenous substrate, addition of NO^?₂ or N₂O to an anaerobic cell suspension resulted in rapid alkalinization of the outer bulk medium. $\text{H}{}^{\mathrm{+}}\text{N}{}_2\text{O}$, $\text{H}{}^{\mathrm{+}}\text{NO}{}^{\mathrm{?}}{}_2$ for reduction to N₂ and $\text{H}{}^{\mathrm{+}}\text{NO}{}^{\mathrm{?}}{}_2$ for reduction to N₂O were ?0.84, ?2.33 and ?1.90, respectively. (3) The $\text{H}{}^{\mathrm{+}}\text{oxidant}$ ratios, mentioned in item 2, were not altered in the presence of $\text{valinomycin}\text{K}{}^{\mathrm{+}}$ and the triphenylmethylphosphonium cation. (4) A simplified scheme of electron transport to O₂, NO^?₂ and N₂O is presented which shows a periplasmic orientation of the nitrite reductase as well as the nitrous oxide reductase. Electrons destined for NO^?₂, N₂O or O₂ pass two H⁺-translocating sites. The $\text{H}{}^{\mathrm{+}}\text{electron}$ acceptor ratios predicted by this scheme are in good agreement with the experimental values.     

The one-electron transfer redox potentials of free radicals. I. The oxygen/superoxide system

The method of determination of Redox potentials of radicals, using the pulse radiolysis technique, is outlined. The method is based on the determination of equilibrium constants of electron transfer reactions between the radicals and appropriate acceptors. The limitations of this technique are discussed.The redox potentials of several quinones-semiquinones are calculated, as well as the standard redox potential of the peroxy radical. and the redox oxidation properties of the peroxy radical in various systems and pH are discussed. The value determined for the redox potentials of $\text{O}{}_2\text{O}{}_2{}^{\mathrm{?}}$ is higher by more than 0.2 V than earlier estimates, which has important implications on the possible role of O₂^? in biological processes of O₂ fixation.     

Energy-coupling mechanisms under aerobic and anaerobic conditions in autotrophically grown Pseudomonas saccharophila

The cell-free preparations from autotrophieally grown Pseudomonas saccharophila catalyzed the process of electron transport from H₂ or various other organic electron donors to either O₂ or NO₃^? with concomitant ATP generation. The respective $\text{P}\text{O}$ ratios with H₂ and NADH were 0.63 and 0.73, the respective $\text{P}\text{NO}{}_3{}^{\mathrm{?}}$ ratios were 0.57 and 0.54. In contrast, the $\text{P}\text{O}$ and $\text{P}\text{NO}{}_3{}^{\mathrm{?}}$ ratios with succinate were 0.18 and 0.11, respectively. ATP formation coupled to the oxidation of ascorbate, in the absence or presence of added N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine or cytochrome c, could not be detected. Various uncouplers inhibited phosphorylation with either O₂ or NO₃^? as terminal electron acceptors without affecting the oxidation of H₂ or other substrates. The NADH oxidation at the expense of O₂ or NO₃^? reduction as well as the associated phosphorylation were inhibited by rotenone and amytal. The aerobic and anaerobic H₂ oxidation and coupled ATP synthesis, on the other hand, was unaffected by the flavoprotein inhibitors as well as by the NADH trapping system. The NADH, H₂, and succinate-linked electron transport to O₂ or NO₃^? and the associated phosphorylations were sensitive, however, to antimycin A or 2-n-nonyl-4-hydroxyquino-line-N-oxide, and cyanide or azide. The data indicated that although the phosphorylation sites 1 and II were associated with NADH oxidation by O₂ or NO₃^?, the energy conservation coupled to H₂ oxidation under aerobic or anaerobic conditions appeared to involve site II only.     

Oxidation of anionic nitroalkanes by flavoenzymes,and participation of superoxide anion in the catalysis

The reactivities of anionic nitroalkanes with 2-nitropropane dioxygenase of Hansenula mrakii, glucose oxidase of Aspergillus niger, and mammalian d-amino acid oxidase have been compared kinetically. 2-Nitropropane dioxygenase is 1200 and 4800 times more active with anionic 2-nitropropane than d-amino acid oxidase and glucose oxidase, respectively. The apparent K_m values for anionic 2-nitropropane are as follows: 2-nitropropane dioxygenase, 1.61 mm; glucose oxidase, 16.7 mm; and d-amino acid oxidase, 11.1 mm. Anionic 2-nitropropane undergoes an oxygenase reaction with 2-nitropropane dioxygenase and glucose oxidase, and an oxidase reaction with d-amino acid oxidase. In contrast, anionic nitroethane is oxidized through an oxygenase reaction by 2-nitropropane dioxygenase, and through an oxidase reaction by glucose oxidase. All nitroalkane oxidations by these three flavoenzymes are inhibited by Cu and Zn-superoxide dismutase of bovine blood, Mn-superoxide dismutases of bacilli, Fe-superoxide dismutase of Serratia marcescens, and other $\text{O}{}_2{}^{\mathrm{?}}$ scavengers such as cytochrome c and NADH, but are not affected by hydroxyl radical scavengers such as mannitol. None of the $\text{O}{}_2{}^{\mathrm{?}}$ scavengers tested affected the inherent substrate oxidation by glucose oxidase and d-amino acid oxidase. Furthermore, the generation of $\text{O}{}_2{}^{\mathrm{?}}$ in the oxidation of anionic 2-nitropropane by 2-nitropropane dioxygenase was revealed by ESR spectroscoy. The ESR spectrum of anionic 2-nitropropane plus 2-nitropropane dioxygenase shows signals at g₁ = 2.007 and g₁₁ = 2.051, which are characteristic of $\text{O}{}_2{}^{\mathrm{?}}$. The $\text{O}{}_2{}^{\mathrm{?}}$ generated is a catalytically essential intermediate in the oxidation of anionic nitroalkanes by the enzymes.     

Reactivity of chemically generated superoxide radical anion with peroxides as determined by competition kinetics

A steady-state competition system has been developed to investigate the reactions of the superoxide radical anion ($\text{O}{}_2{}^{\mathrm{<mtext>?</mtext>}}$) with various peroxides, including the so-called Haber-Weiss reaction. Potassium superoxide dissolved in an oxygen-free solution of DMSO containing 18-dicyclohexyl-6-crown, is the source of $\text{O}{}_2{}^{\mathrm{<mtext>?</mtext>}}$. High pressure liquid chromatography is used as an assay system for $\text{O}{}_2{}^{\mathrm{<mtext>?</mtext>}}$ reactivity, to detect and quantitate the yield of anthracene, formed as a major product in the reaction between $\text{O}{}_2{}^{\mathrm{<mtext>?</mtext>}}$ and 9,10-dihydroanthrancene. Decrease in anthracene yields, in the presence of peroxide, may be used to indicate a possible competing reaction between $\text{O}{}_2{}^{\mathrm{<mtext>?</mtext>}}$ and added peroxide. Complications involving peroxide-stimulated formation of anthraquinone derivatives are discussed. No evidence for a competing reaction between $\text{O}{}_2{}^{\mathrm{<mtext>?</mtext>}}$ and peroxide can be detected up to a 10-fold excess of peroxide over 9,10-dihydroanthracene.     

Optimizing enzyme assays with one or two coupling enzymes

The cost of assays using one or two coupling enzymes is optimized by using equations to calculate the minimum amount(s) of enzyme(s) which should be used to obtain a given time (t₉₉) in which 99% of the rate V₀ of the first reaction is obtained. Using two coupling enzymes and given a value of t₉₉, the induction period L = L₁ + L₂ fulfills the requirement $\text{t}{}_{99}\text{2}{}^{\mathrm{<mtext>1</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}\text{4.6}\text{≥ L ≥}\text{t}{}_{99}\text{4.6}$, allowing one to choose a cost lower than that derived from the until-now generally applied assumption of t₉₉ = 4.6L. Being $\text{α =}\text{L}{}_1\text{L}{}_2$, in optimized assays the values α, t₉₉, and L are related by $\text{T}{}_{99}\text{=4.6}\text{(1+α)}{}^{\mathrm{<mtext>1</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}\text{1+α}\text{L}$, thus allowing (graphical) calculation of the amounts of coupling enzymes which will minimize the cost for every chosen t₉₉ or L. Maximum practical rates, allowed in some supposed interesting cases, have been calculated.     

Evidence for general catalysis and formation of nitrobenzene in the oxidation of phenylhydroxylamine in aqueous phosphate buffer

N-Phenylhydroxylamine is oxidized in aqueous phosphate buffer to nitrosobenzene, nitrobenzene, and azoxybenzene. Degradation is O₂ dependent and shows general catalysis by $\text{H}{}_2\text{PO}{}_4{}^{\mathrm{?}}$ (k₁ = 2.3 M^?2 sec^?1) and $\text{PO}{}_4{}^{\mathrm{?3}}$ (k₂ = 2.3 × 10⁵M^?2 sec^?1) or kinetically equivalent terms. Evidence is presented suggesting the intermediacy of a highly reactive species leading to these products.     

The relative effectiveness of .OH,H2O2,O2−, and reducing free radicals in causing damage to biomembranes: A study of radiation damage to erythrocyte ghosts using selective free radical scavengers

The relative effectiveness of oxidizing (^.OH, H₂O₂), ambivalent (O₂^?) and reducing free radicals (e^? and CO₂^?) in causing damage to membranes and membrane-bound glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase of resealed erythrocyte ghosts has been determined. The rates of damage to membranebound glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase ($\text{R}$(enz)) were measured and the rates of damage to membranes ($\text{R}$(mb)) were assessed by measuring changes in permeability of the resealed ghosts to the relatively low molecular weight substrates of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. Each radical was selectively isolated from the mixture produced during gamma-irradiation, using appropriate mixtures of scavengers such as catalase, superoxide dismutase and formate. ^.OH, O₂^? and H₂ O₂ were approximately equally effective in inactivating membrane-bound glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, while e^? and CO₂^? were the least effective. $\text{R}$(enz) values of O₂^? and H₂O₂ were 10-times and of ^.OH 15-times that of e^?. $\text{R}$(mb) values were quite similar for e^? and H₂O₂ (about twice that of O₂^?), while that of ^.OH was 3-times that of O₂^?. Hence, with respect to $\text{R}$(mb): ${}^{\mathrm{.}}\text{OH}\text{>}\text{e}{}^{\mathrm{?}}\text{=}\text{H}{}_2\text{O}{}_2\text{>}\text{O}{}_2{}^{\mathrm{?}}$ , and with respect to $\text{R}$(enz): ${}^{\mathrm{.}}\text{OH}\text{>}\text{O}{}_2{}^{\mathrm{?}}\text{=}\text{H}{}_2\text{O}{}_2\text{>}\text{e}{}^{\mathrm{?}}$. The difference between the effectiveness of the most damaging and the least damaging free radicals was more than 10-fold greater in damage to the enzyme than to the membranes. Comparison between H₂O₂ added as a chemical reagent and H₂O₂ formed by irradiation showed that membranes and membrane-bound glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase were relatively inert to reagent H₂O₂ but markedly susceptible to the latter.     

Cyclic AMP transport in human erythrocyte ghosts

10^?5 M cyclic AMP has high permeability in human erythrocyte ghosts ($\text{p = 0.061 · 10}{}^{\mathrm{?6}}\text{cm}\text{·}\text{s}{}^{\mathrm{?1}}$). Saturation of influx and efflux occurs. $\text{K}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>z</mtext><mtext>t</mtext>}}{}^{\mathrm{<mtext>oi</mtext>}}\text{= 4.43}\text{mM}$. $\text{V}{}_{\mathrm{zt}}{}^{\mathrm{oi}}\text{= 259.6 μ}\text{M · min}{}^{\mathrm{?1}}$. $\text{K}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>z</mtext><mtext>t</mtext>}}{}^{\mathrm{<mtext>io</mtext>}}\text{= 0.475 μ}\text{M}$. $\text{V}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>z</mtext><mtext>t</mtext>}}{}^{\mathrm{<mtext>io</mtext>}}\text{= 28.3 μ}\text{M · min}{}^{\mathrm{?1}}$ at 30°C. Equilibrium exchange entry of cyclic AMP has similar kinetics to zero trans influx, though the system does show counterflow. Cythochalasin B is an apparent competitive inhibitor of cyclic AMP exit. ($\text{K}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>i</mtext>}}\text{= 3.9 · 10}{}^{\mathrm{?7}}\text{M}$).Control experiments indicated that cyclic AMP remains intact during incubation with red blood cell ghosts and is contained within the intravesicular space during the transport experiments.     

The accumulation of superoxide radical during the aerobic action of xanthine oxidase A requiem for H2O4−

The action of xanthine oxidase upon acetaldehyde or xanthine at pH 10.2 has been shown to be accompanied by substantial accumulation of O₂^? during the first few minutes of the reaction. H₂O₂ decreases this accumulation of O₂^? presumably because of the Haber-Weiss reaction ($\text{H}{}_2\text{O}{}_2\text{+}\text{O}{}_2{}^{\mathrm{?}}\text{→}\text{OH}{}^{\mathrm{?}}\text{+}\text{OH}\text{+}\text{O}{}_2$) and very small amounts of superoxide dismutase eliminate it. This accumulation of O₂^? was demonstrated in terms of a burst of reduction of cytochrome $\text{c}$, seen when the latter compound was added after aerobic preincubation of xanthine oxidase with its substrate. The kinetic peculiarities of the luminescence seen in the presence of luminol, which previously led to the proposal of H₂O₄^?, can now be satisfactorily explained entirely on the basis of known radical intermediates.     

Complete stoichiometry of free NADPH oxidation in liver microsomes

The stoichiometry of free NADPH oxidation in phenobarbital induced rabbit liver microsomes was measured by means of registering the rates of NADPH, H⁺ and O₂ consumption and $\text{O}{}_2{}^{\mathrm{<mtext>?</mtext>}}$ and H₂O₂ production. $\text{ΔO}{}_2{}^{\mathrm{<mtext>?</mtext>}}\text{:ΔH}{}_2\text{O}{}_2$ ratio is approximately I indicating that about half H₂O₂ results from $\text{O}{}_2{}^{\mathrm{<mtext>?</mtext>}}$ dismutation, the second half being formed directly. ΔNADPH:ΔH₂O₂ and ΔO₂:ΔH₂O₂ ratios exceed I and therefore another product of the reaction is water. The fact that the ratio (ΔNADPH-ΔH₂O₂):(ΔO₂-ΔH₂O₂) is 2 allows one to consider direct 4-electron O₂ reduction as the major way of water formation rather than endogenous substrate hydroxylation.     

An allosteric pore model for sugar transport in human erythrocytes

Glucose transport in human erythrocytes is characterized by a marked asymmetry in the $\text{V}$ and $\text{K}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>m</mtext>}}$ values for entry and for exit. In addition, they show a high $\text{K}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>m</mtext>}}$ and a high $\text{V}$ for equilibrium exchange but low $\text{K}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>m</mtext>}}$ values for infinite cis and for infinite trans exit and entry. An allosteric pore model has been proposed to account for these characteristics. In this model, substrate-induced conformational changes destabilize the interfaces between protein subunits (the pore gates).Pores doubly occupied from inside destabilize the transport gates and result in high $\text{K}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>m</mtext>}}$ and high $\text{V}$ transport parameters. This effect is less marked when pores are doubly occupied from outside and therefore transport asymmetry results.     

Determination of the kinetic constants of fructose transport and phosphorylation in the perfused rat liver

The kinetics of fructose uptake was determined in perfused rat liver during steady-state fructose elimination. On the basis of the corresponding values of fructose concentration in the affluent and in the effluent medium, and the fructose and ATP concentration in biopsies, the kinetics of membrane transport and intracellular phosphorylation in the intact organ was calculated according to a model system. Carrier-mediated fructose transport has a high $\text{K}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>m</mtext>}}$ (67 mM) and $\text{V}$ (30 μmoles · min^?1 ·g^?1). The calculated kinetic constants of the intracellular phosphorylation were compared with values obtained with an acid-treated rat liver high speed supernatant (values given in parentheses). $\text{K}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>m</mtext>}}$ with fructose 1.0 mM (0.7 mM), $\text{K}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>m</mtext>}}$ with ATP 0.54 mM (0.37 mM), $\text{V}$ 10.3 μmoles · min^?1 · g^?1 (10.1 μmoles · min^?1 · g^?1, calculated on the basis of the highest measured rate of fructose uptake correcting the ATP concentration to saturating values). The kinetics of fructose uptake reveals that at Physiological fructose concentrations the membrane transport limits the rate of fructose uptake, thus protecting the liver from severe depletion of adenine nucleotides.     

Anomerization of glucose 6-phosphate: catalysis by phosphoglucose isomerase.

The anomerase (1-epimerase) activity of phosphoglucose isomerase (d-glucose 6-phosphate ketol-isomerase EC 5.3.1.9) has been studied. The pH-V_max profile, assayed by two different methods, shows a dependence on two ionizable groups in the enzyme with pK values of 7.0 and 9.3 at 0 °C. Additionally, an unusual reversal of the basic leg of the normal profile to yield a large increase in V_max is observed above pH 9.5. Deuterium solvent isotope effects of are observed for isomerase and anomerase activities respectively. An anomerase mechanism similar to noncatalyzed anomerization is postulated with a discussion of the catalytic groups involved.     

Photosystem II energy coupling in chloroplasts with H2O2 as electron donor

NH₂OH-treated, non-water-splitting chloroplasts can oxidize H₂O₂ to O₂ through Photosystem II at substantial rates (100–250 μequiv · h^?1 · mg^?1 chlorophyll with 5 mM H₂O₂) using 2,5-dimethyl-p-benzoquinone as an electron acceptor in the presence of the plastoquinone antagonist dibromothymoquinone. This H₂O₂ → Photosystem II → dimethylquinone reaction supports phosphorylation with a $\text{P}\text{e}{}_2$ ratio of 0.25–0.35 and proton uptake with $\text{H}{}^{\mathrm{+}}\text{e}$ values of 0.67 (pH 8)–0.85 (pH 6). These are close to the $\text{P}\text{e}{}_2$ value of 0.3–0.38 and the $\text{H}{}^{\mathrm{+}}\text{e}$ values of 0.7–0.93 found in parallel experiments for the H₂O → Photosystem II → dimethylquinone reaction in untreated chloroplasts. Semi-quantitative data are also presented which show that the donor → Photosystem II → dibromothymoquinone (→O₂) reaction can support phosphorylation when the donor used is a proton-releasing reductant (benzidine, catechol) but not when it is a non-proton carrier (I^?, ferrocyanide).     

Significance of O2 availability and cycling on the respiratory burst response of human PMN's exposed to cytochrome c and superoxide dismutase

In many instances the effect of superoxide ($\text{O}{}_2{}^{\mathrm{?}}$) trapping agents in suppressing the net rate of O₂ consumption of activated PMN's is not in accordance with theoretical expectations. We offer here an alternate explanation to those previously presented by Segal and Meshulam (FEBS Letters 100, 27–32) and Babior (Biochem. Biophys. Res. Comm. 91, 222–226). The paradoxical results previously presented can be explained by recognizing that shortly after activation of resting cells an O₂ diffusion layer is established at or near the outer surface of these cells. The presence of this diffusion layer can markedly alter the anticipated stochiometric relationship between $\text{O}{}_2{}^{\mathrm{?}}$ trapped and apparent O₂ consumed by these cells when they are exposed to $\text{O}{}_2{}^{\mathrm{?}}$ trapping agents.     

Mercaptide-anion as a trans-ligand in oxycytochrome P450

Oxygenation of heme-mercaptide as well as spectroscopic characteristics of the dioxygen complex formed have been studied. Absorption and magnetic circular dichroism spectra of the O₂ complex support the retention of mercaptide in the heme fifth position. A release of $\text{O}{}_2{}^{\mathrm{<mtext>?</mtext>}}$ in the decomposition of the oxygenated complex and an independent formation of the latter from hemine-dimercaptide and $\text{O}{}_2{}^{\mathrm{<mtext>?</mtext>}}$ together with electron paramagnetic resonance and Mössbauer data support the O₂ presence in the heme coordination sphere. The similarity of optical and magnetic circular dichroism spectra and the closeness of the ratio for oxy-heme-mercaptide and oxycytochrome P450 unequivocally confirm the presence of an axial cystein mercaptide ligand in oxycytochrome P450.
