Electronic absorption and resonance Raman (RR) spectra of the ferric form of barley grain peroxidase (BP 1) at various pH values, at both room temperature and 20 K, are reported, together with electron paramagnetic resonance spectra at 10 K. The ferrous forms and the ferric complex with fluoride have also been studied. A quantum mechanically mixed-spin (QS) state has been identified. The QS heme species coexists with 6- and 5-cHS hemes; the relative populations of these three spin states are found to be dependent on pH and temperature. However, the QS species remains in all cases the dominant heme spin species. Barley peroxidase appears to be further characterized by a splitting of the two vinyl stretching modes, indicating that the vinyl groups are differently conjugated with the porphyrin. An analysis of the currently available spectroscopic data for proteins from all three peroxidase classes suggests that the simultaneous occurrence of the QS heme state as well as the splitting of the two vinyl stretching modes is confined to class III enzymes. The former point is discussed in terms of the possible influences of heme deformations on heme spin state. It is found that moderate saddling alone is probably not enough to cause the QS state, although some saddling may be necessary for the QS state. 相似文献

The behavior of charge transfer band, appearing at 600-650 nm in ferric high spin derivatives of myoglobin and hemoglobin, was studied under various conditions by low temperature optical and magnetic circular dichroism spectroscopy. Optical absorption spectra have demonstrated that: (1) The charge transfer band at 630 nm of myoglobin (Fe3+)-H2O (pH 7.0) at room temperature split into three bands, 627 nm, 645 nm and 664 nm (shoulder) at 77 degrees K, whereas that of hemoglobin (Fe3+)-H2O showed no splitting. (2) By lowering the pH value from 7.5 to 4.3 this splitting in myoglobin was observed to disappear only in the presence of a small amount of phosphate ion, accompanying a midpoint at pH 6.7 +/- 0.1. This does not originate from the released hemin. (3) Hemin (pH 7.55) showed no splitting of the charge transfer band at 77 degrees K. (4) This splitting depended on the species of 6th ligand. For myoglobin-F- the splitting could scarcely be observed, whereas the proton-donating ligands such as HCOOH and CH3OH exhibit the splitting as well as H2O. Magnetic circular dichroism spectra have demonstrated that: (5) The charge transfer band at 600-500 nm indicated Faraday A term and B term. (6) A negative B term band was observed at 650 nm for myoglobin-H2O in the glassic solvent of potassium glycerophosphate-glycerol, whereas it was not observed for hemoglobin-H2O. Several discussions were performed on the origin of splitting of the charge transfer band in myoglobin-H2O. It is now concluded that the hydrogen bond between the 6th ligand and the distal histidine contributes to the splitting of the charge transfer band around 630 nm for myoglobin Fe3+)-H2O at low temperature and that disappearance of the splitting at low pH is originated from the presence of phosphate ion. 相似文献

Electronic absorption and magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) spectroscopic data at 4 degrees C are reported for exogenous ligand-free ferric forms of cytochrome c peroxidase (CCP) in comparison with two other histidine-ligated heme proteins, horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and myoglobin (Mb). In particular, we have examined the ferric states of yeast wild-type CCP (YCCP), CCP (MKT) which is the form of the enzyme that is expressed in and purified from E. coli, and contains Met-Lys-Thr (MKT) at the N-terminus, CCP (MKT) in the presence of 60% glycerol, lyophilized YCCP, and alkaline CCP (MKT). The present study demonstrates that, while having similar electronic absorption spectra, the MCD spectra of ligand-free ferric YCCP and CCP (MKT) are somewhat varied from one another. Detailed spectral analyses reveal that the ferric form of YCCP, characterized by a long wavelength charge transfer (CT) band at 645 nm, exists in a predominantly penta-coordinate state with spectral features similar to those of native ferric HRP rather than ferric Mb (His/water hexa-coordinate). The electronic absorption spectrum of ferric CCP (MKT) is similar to those of the penta-coordinate states of ferric YCCP and ferric HRP including a CT band at 645 nm. However, its MCD spectrum shows a small trough at 583 nm that is absent in the analogous spectra of YCCP and HRP. Instead, this trough is similar to that seen for ferric myoglobin at about 585 nm, and is attributed (following spectral simulations) to a minor contribution (< or = 5%) in the spectrum of CCP (MKT) from a hexa-coordinate low-spin species in the form of a hydroxide-ligated heme. The MCD data indicate that the lyophilized sample of ferric YCCP (lambda CT = 637 nm) contains considerably increased amounts of hexa-coordinate low-spin species including both His/hydroxide and bis-His species. The crystal structure of a spectroscopically similar sample of CCP (MKT) (lambda CT = 637 nm) solved at 2.0 A resolution is consistent with His/hydroxide coordination. Alkaline CCP (pH 9.7) is proposed to exist as a mixture of hexa-coordinate, predominantly low-spin complexes with distal His 52 and hydroxide acting as distal ligands based on MCD spectral comparisons. 相似文献

M?ssbauer spectroscopy was used to study the tetraheme cytochrome c3 from Desulfovibrio baculatus (DSM 1743). Samples with different degrees of reduction were prepared using a redoxtitration technique. In the reduced cytochrome c3, all four hemes are reduced and exhibit diamagnetic M?ssbauer spectra typical for low-spin ferrous hemes (S = 0). In the oxidized protein, the hemes are low-spin ferric (S = 1/2) and exhibit overlapping magnetic M?ssbauer spectra. A method of differential spectroscopy was applied to deconvolute the four overlapping heme spectra and a crystal-field model was used for data analysis. Characteristic M?ssbauer spectral components for each heme group are obtained. Hyperfine and crystal-field parameters for all four hemes are determined from these deconvoluted spectra. 相似文献

A novel cytochrome c and a catalase-peroxidase with alkaline peroxidase activity were purified from the culture supernatant of Bacillus sp. No.13 and characterized. The cytochrome c exhibited absorption maxima at 408 nm (Soret band) in its oxidized state, and 550 (alpha-band), 521 (beta-band), and 415 (Soret band) nm in its reduced state. The native cytochrome c with a relative molecular mass of 15,000 was composed of two identical subunits. The cytochrome c showed over 50 times higher peroxidase activity than those of known c-type cytochromes from various sources. The optimum pH and temperature of the peroxidase activity were about 10.0 and 70 degrees C, respectively. The peroxidase activity is stable in the pH range of 6.0 to 10.8 (30 degrees C, 1-h treatment), and at temperatures up to 80 degrees C (pH 8.5, 20-min treatment). The heme content was determined to be 1 heme per subunit. The amino acid sequence of the cytochrome c showed high homology with those of the c-type cytochromes from Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus sp. PS3. The catalase-peroxidase showed high catalase activity and considerable peroxidase activity, the specific activities being 55,000 and 0.94 micromol/min/mg, respectively. The optimum pH and temperature of the peroxidase activity were in the range of 6.4 to 10.1 and 60 degrees C, respectively. The catalase-peroxidase showed a lower K(m) value (0.67 mM) as to H(2)O(2) than known catalase-peroxidases. 相似文献

Electron paramagnetic resonance and magnetic susceptibility studies of Chromatium flavocytochrome C552 and its diheme flavin-free subunit at temperatures below 45 degrees K are reported. The results show that in the intact protein and the subunit the two low-spin (S = 1/2) heme irons are distinguishable, giving rise to separate EPR signals. In the intact protein only, one of the heme irons exists in two different low spin environments in the pH range 5.5 to 10.5, while the other remains in a constant environment. Factors influencing the variable heme iron environment also influence flavin reactivity, indicating the existence of a mechanism for heme-flavin interaction. 相似文献

Cryogenic samples of MbCO at pH3 are studied using nanosecond and picosecond time-resolved resonance Raman spectroscopy. It is observed that under excitation conditions sufficient to completely photodissociate MbCO at pH7, the pH3 sample at 10 ns remains substantially unphotolyzed even at 15 K. The similarity in the optical and resonance Raman spectra of MbCO at pH3 with that of pH7 indicates that at pH3 the iron remains six-coordinate and low-spin. The Fe-CO stretch frequency is consistent with a more upright CO orientation. The absence of the v(Fe-His) band in the 30 ps photoproduct Raman spectrum suggests that the Fe-His(F8) bond is broken within 30 ps of photodissociation. Other Raman bands, though, are not consistent with a normal four-coordinate heme for the photoproduct, Mb*. Suggested possible interpretations include a four-coordinate heme highly perturbed by the close lying protonated proximal histidine or a five-coordinate heme with the Fe-His bond significantly weakened. The partial photolysis monitored at 30 ps and 100 K indicates either a significant amount of geminate recombination within 30 ps or low quantum yield or photolysis. The time course for CO recombination is monitored via the Raman spectra from 30 ps to 3 ns at 100 K and 160 K. Of the fraction of protein-ligand pairs that remain photodissociated at 30 ps, 50% recombine by approximately 250 ps at 100 K and 160 K, supporting the flash photolysis rebinding data of Cowen et al. (Cowen, B. R. 1990. Ph. D. thesis. University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign; Cowen, B. R., D. Braunstein, H. Frauenfelder, P. J. Steinbach, and R. D. Young. 1989. Biophys. J. 55:55a. [Abstr.].) The conclusions from these resonance Raman studies are extended to solution phase studies at ambient temperatures. 相似文献

In this article, we have extensively studied and discussed the magnetic properties of acidic ferric hemoglobin and its isolated chains. The magnetic susceptibility, EPR and optical spectra of those samples were measured in the temperature region below 77 degrees K. By the magnetic susceptibility measurements, it could be made clear that at an acidic pH value, both ferric hemoglobin and its isolated chains were constituted of a mixture of two spin states (high-spin state S = 5/2 and low-spin state S = 1/2) and the ratio of this mixture varied in each protein sample, but was independent of the temperature change below 77 degrees K. The co-existence of these two components could be ascertained by the observation of EPR spectra at liquid hydrogen temperature. Acidic ferric hemoglobin and its isolated chains exhibited the two components of EPR spectra which corresponded to their magnetic susceptibility, and it was found that the relaxation time of the low-spin state was longer than that of the high-spin state. The low-spin component of EPR spectra was almost undetectable at liquid nitrogen temperature. The three principal g values of this low-spin were gz = 2.80, gy = 2.20, and gx = 1.70. At alkaline pH values these low-spin components and the high-spin component of EPR spectra were displaced by the different low-spin spectra which corresponded to the ferric hemoglobin-hydroxide complex. It seems that the magnetic properties of the high-spin component are the same as the acidic ferric myoglobin, and the fine structure of the iron ion also seems to be same. Optical spectroscopy also gave similar magnetic properties which corresponded to the magnetic measurements. 相似文献

The visible and near infrared magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) spectra of equilibrium high-spin ferrous derivatives of myoglobin, hemoglobin, horseradish peroxidase and mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase at 15 K are compared with those of the corresponding proteins in nonequilibrium conformations produced by low-temperature photodissociation of CO-complexes of these proteins as well as of O2-complexes of myoglobin and hemoglobin. Over all the spectral region (450-800 nm) the intensities of MCD bands of hemoproteins studied in equilibrium conformation are shown to be strongly temperature-dependent, including a negative band at ca. 630 nm and positive bands at ca. 690 nm and at ca. 760 nm. In contrast to the absorption spectra, the low-temperature MCD spectra of high-spin ferrous hemoproteins differ significantly, reflecting the peculiarities in the heme iron coordination sphere which are created by a protein conformation. The MCD spectra reveal clearly the structural changes in the heme environment which occur on ligand binding. On the basis of assignment of d leads to d and charge-transfer transitions in the near infrared region the correlation is suggested between the wavelength position of the MCD band at approx. 690 nm and the value of iron out-of-plane displacement as well as between the location of the band at approx. 760 nm and the Fe-N epsilon (proximal histidine) bond strength (length) in equilibrium and nonequilibrium conformations of the hemoproteins studied. The high sensitivity of low-temperature MCD spectra to geometry at heme iron is discussed. 相似文献

It was shown that ferrocytochrome P450 forms a nonequilibrium state if ferrocytochrome P450 and its complexes are reduced in freezed water-glycerol solutions by thermolysed electrons, arising during gamma-radiolysis of the matrix at 77 degrees K. Unlike the equilibrium form of ferrocytochrome P450 with the heme iron at the high-spin state the reduced nonequilibrium form of the protein contains the heme iron at a low-spin state. The absorption spectrum of ferrocytochrome P450 in the nonequilibrium state is characterized by alpha and beta-bands at 562 and 534 nm, respectively, whereas the magnetic circular dichroism spectra exhibit type A effect at 562 nm. Upon temperature increasing the nonequilibrium state is relaxed to the equilibrium one. Type 1 substrates had practically no influence on the spectral characteristic of the nonequilibrium form of ferrocytochrome P450. Binding of type 2 substrates results in an essential decrease of the intensity ratio of the alpha- and beta-bands (A alpha/A beta) and is accompanied by a red-shift of the alpha-band and corresponding magnetic circular dichroism effect. It was shown that mercaptoethanol complex of hemoglobin, formed by reduction at 77 degrees K is spectrally similar to the nonequilibrium ferrocytochrome P450 complex with type 2 substrates. From analysis of experimental data one can conclude that (i) the ligand environment of heme iron in oxidased and reduced cytochrome P450 are different; (ii) the sixth axial ligand of the heme iron in the oxidised protein is probably a water molecule (OH-) attached by a hydrogen bond to the neighbouring histidine. It is assumed that a similar nonequilibrium form of cytochrome P450 can be formed in physiological conditions. 相似文献

Magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) and magnetic linear dichroism (MLD) spectroscopies at various applied magnetic fields (0-6T) and temperatures (2.0-31K) have been used to investigate the electronic properties of the visible (Q(0-0), or alpha band) region of oxy- and nitrosylferrohemoglobin (HbNO). OxyHb, a d(6) (S=0) diamagnet, exhibits the expected pseudo-first derivative MCD and pseudo-second derivative MLD temperature-independent features centered at 574nm. HbNO, a d(7) (S=1/2) paramagnet, also exhibits a temperature-independent pseudo-first derivative MCD spectrum, but centered at 571nm. So far as we are aware, this behavior is unprecedented in the MCD spectra of paramagetic iron-porphyrins, which are expected to be dominated by temperature-dependent C(0) terms. The HbNO MCD spectrum does, however, demonstrate limited field-dependent saturation magnetization behavior and the MLD spectrum is currently below the detection limit. In addition, an MCD signal from reoxygenated venous blood is reported and compared with MCD signals from oxy- and HbNO derivatives. Finally, a combination of MCD and MLD spectroscopies has been used to estimate the orbital angular momentum (M(L)) value of the alpha band excited state of oxyHb as 4.2 (+/-0.7). 相似文献

The spin equilibria of several derivatives of human methemoglobin were probed by resonance Raman scattering. The intensity of lines in the Raman spectrum gives a measure of the high-spin (S = 5/2) to low-spin (S = 1/2) ratio which agrees well with the spin equilibria determined from direct magnetic susceptibility measurements. The addition of bezafibrate (BZF) to methemoglobin in the absence of organic phosphate, IHP, has very little effect on the spin equilibrium, whereas in the presence of IHP it augments the change in spin significantly. When both IHP and BZF are added to the mixed-spin derivatives (H2O, SCN-, OCN-, and NO2-) of human methemoglobin, the spin equilibrium is shifted toward higher spin by about 700 cal/mol, similar to the spin change detected in derivatives of carp methemoglobin upon addition of IHP alone. These data support a general mechanism for the allosteric transition in which a constant fraction of the cooperative energy (approximately 20%) is detected at the heme of the ferric ligand-bound forms. 相似文献

Bovine myelin basic protein has been investigated with regard to its solution behavior, circular dichroism and 220 MHz PMR spectral properties. At pH 4.8 gamma/2=0.1 acetate buffer, light scattering yielded a Mr of 17 700 and a virial coefficient of 1.0-10(-4) mol-ml/g2. Above pH 7.0 the protein was found to aggregate to higher mol. wt species. Sedimentation experiments at pH 4.8 yielded s degrees 20,w of 1.27 S at gamma/2=0.1 and 1.46 S at gamma/2=0.35. The diffusion coefficient determined from ultracentrifugal experiments was 7.25-10(-7) cm2/s at gamma/2=0.1 and 0.35. The value of f/f0 from diffusion at pH 4.8 and gamma/2=0.35 was 1.64, corresponding to an axial ratio of 11 to 1. The radius of gyration was calculated as 4.28 nm and the root mean square end to end distance was 10.5 nm. At pH 9.0, gamma/2=0.1, s degrees 20,w was 1.71 S and D degrees 20,w was estimated at 7.4-10(-7) cm2/s. The behavior at pH 9.0 reverted to the behavior at pH 4.8 when the pH was readjusted. The E1%/1cm=5.64 at 276.4 nm and 225 at 196 nm. Titration of the protein with trifluoroethanol elicited three distinct regions of conformation stability having increasing helical content as the mol fraction of trifluoroethanol increased. The results of the present study have permitted some comparison of analogous properties and conformational behavior with the basic membrane protein cytochrome c. 相似文献

Equilibrium constants for the binding of azide to the ferric heme c octapeptide in 50% ethylene glycol 50% buffer were measured spectrophotometrically. The equilibrium constant for azide binding at 20 degrees C and pH* 7.4 is 29.2, which is approximately 3 to 4 orders of magnitude lower than that observed for azide binding to various ferric hemeproteins. The equilibrium constant was indepent of pH* in the range from 7 to 8. Equilibrium constants at several temperatures exhibited an apparent van't Hoff relationship yielding thermodynamic values of delta H0 = -26,100 J/mol (-6240 cal/mol) and delta S0 = -61.5 J/0K mol (-14.7 e.u.). Comparison of these values to the values for the heme proteins enables one to explain the differences in equiliberium constants in terms of differences in the polarity of the heme environments. The results are consistent with the concept that the oxygen affinity of heme complexes increases with the polarity of the heme environment. The data also suggest that an increase in the polarity of the heme environment should result in a corresponding increase in the susceptibility of ferrous heme dioxygen complexes toward oxidation by the dioxygen. 相似文献

Native myoglobin (Mb) consists of two populations which differ in the orientation of the heme by 180 degrees rotation (as verified by nuclear magnetic resonance) but have identical absorption spectra and equilibrium-thermodynamic stability. Here, we report that these two fractions of native oxidized Mb (from horse) both unfold and refold (chemical denaturant, pH 7, 20 degrees C) in two parallel kinetic reactions with rate constants differing 10-fold. In accord, the oxidized heme remains coordinated to unfolded horse Mb in up to 4 M guanidine hydrochloride (pH 7, 20 degrees C). 相似文献

1. A reaction center-cytochrome c complex has been isolated from Chromatium vinosum which is capable of normal photochemistry and light-activated rapid cytochrome c553 and c555 oxidation, but which has no antenna bacteriochlorophyll. As is found in whole cells, ferrocytochrome c553 is oxidized irreversibly in milliseconds by light at 7 K. 2. Room temperature redox potentiometry in combination with EPR analysis at 7 K, of cytochrome c553 and the reaction center bacteriochlorophyll dimer (BChl)2 absorbing at 883 nm yields identical results to those previously reported using optical analytical techniques at 77 K. It shows directly that two cytochrome c553 hemes are equivalent with respect to the light induced (BChl)2+. At 7 K, only one heme can be rapidly oxidized in the light, commensurate with the electron capacity of the primary acceptor (quinone-iron) being unity. 3. Prior chemical reduction of the quinone-iron followed by illumination at 200K, however, leads to the slow (t1/2 approximately equal to 30 s) oxidation of one cytochrome c553 heme, with what appears to be concommitant reduction of one of the two bacteriophytins (BPh) of the reaction center as shown by bleaching of the 760 nm band, a broad absorbance increase at approx. 650 nm and a bleaching at 543 nm. The 800 nm absorbing bacteriochlorophyll is also involved since there is also bleaching at 595 and 800 nm; at the latter wave-length the remaining unbleached band appears to shift significantly to the blue. No redox changes in the 883 absorbing bacteriochlorophyll dimer are seen during or after illumination under these conditions. The reduced part of the state represents what is considered to be the reduced form of the electron carrier (I) which acts as an intermediate between the bacteriochlorophyll dimer and quinone-iron. The state (oxidized c553/reduced I) relaxes in the dark at 200K in t1/2 approx. 20 min but below 77 K it is trapped on a days time scale. 4. EPR analysis of the state trapped as described above reveals that one heme equivalent of cytochrome becomes oxidized for the generation of the state, a result in agreement with the optical data. Two prominent signals are associated with the trapped state in the g = 2 region, which can be easily resolved with temperature and microwave power saturation: one has a line width of 15 g and is centered at g = 2.003; the other, which is the major signal, is also a radical centered at g = 2.003 but is split by 60 G and behaves as though it were an organic free-radical spin-coupled with another paramagnetic center absorbing at higher magnetic field values; this high field partner could be the iron-quinone of the primary acceptor. The identity of two signals associated with I-. is consistent with the idea that the reduced intermediary carrier is not simply BPh-. but also involves a second radical, perhaps the 800 nm bacteriochlorophylls in the reduced state... 相似文献

The cytochromes c' are a class of heme proteins whose native spectroscopic properties have been suggested to represent a quantum mechanical admixture of intermediate-(S = 3/2) and high-(S = 5/2) spin states. Here features of the cytochrome c' heme environment, as revealed by X-ray crystallographic studies of the dimeric cytochrome c' from Rhodospirillum molischianum, are related to the observed spectroscopic properties. The environment of the heme group in cytochrome c' supports the existence of the admixed spin state at neutral pH and suggests that pH-dependent transition to a pure high-spin state at alkaline pH involves deprotonation of the histidine axial ligand to the heme iron. 相似文献

Ferricytochrome c' from Rhodobacter capsulatus was investigated by 1H-NMR, EPR and optical spectroscopies. A haem-linked ionisation, occurring with a pKa of 8.4 at 25 degrees C, was observed and assigned to the ionisation of the axial histidine ligand by comparison with data for related proteins. At pH values below this pKa the spin-state of the haem Fe3+ is shown to be a quantum mechanically admixed S = 3/2, 5/2 state. Above the pKa the Fe3+ is high-spin. EPR studies of intact cells grown photoheterotrophically reveal that in situ cytochrome c' exists largely in the ferrous state. Upon the addition of [Fe(CN)6]3- the protein becomes oxidised and EPR spectra reveal that the Fe3+ spin-state is a quantum mechanically admixed S = 3/2, 5/2 state. These data indicate that the unusual spin-state of ferricytochrome c' is not a consequence of changes to the protein on its isolation, as had been suggested previously. They also indicate that in situ cytochrome c' is located in an environment with a pH less than 7. 相似文献

Optical spectra have been taken in the Soret band (440-400 nm) under different oxygen partial pressures for hemoglobin (Hb) A0 at pH 7.0, 15 degrees C, 2-3 mM heme, 30 mM inositol hexaphosphate, 0.1 Hepes and 0.1 M NaCl. Application of the matrix method of singular value decomposition (SVD) to the difference spectra for different oxygen pressures shows the presence of at least two distinct optical transitions. From this result one concludes that the optical response to oxygen binding is nonlinear in the Soret band. The degree of nonlinearity has been determined by fitting the data at different wavelengths to the four-step reaction Adair equation with the inclusion of optical parameters that describe the intermediate oxygenated species. It is found that the data are well-represented by two optical parameters at each wavelengths, one which represents the optical change for the addition of the first and second oxygen molecules and the other which corresponds to the change for the addition of the third and fourth oxygen molecules. The ratio of these optical parameters depends only moderately upon wavelength with an average value of 0.8 over the Soret band. Thus, there is an approx. 20% smaller optical response for the first two ligated species than that for the last two ligated species. The overall Adair equilibrium constants are evaluated as follows: beta 1 = 0.081 +/- 0.003 Torr-1, beta 2 = 2.53 x 10(-3) +/- 2.4 x 10(-4) Torr-2, beta 3 = 1.25 x 10(-5) +/- 1.0 x 10(-6) Torr-3, beta 4 = 1.77 x 10(-6) +/- 1.5 x 10(-7) Torr-4. 相似文献

1. A rapid isolation procedure with a high yield for pure myeloperoxidase (donor:H2O2 oxidoreductase, EC 1.11.1.7) from normal human leucocytes is described. The enzyme was solubilized from leucocytes with the detergent, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, and purified to apparent homogeneity. The yield of the enzyme was 17% with an absorbance ratio A430nm/A280nm = 0.85. 2. The purified enzyme showed three isoenzyme bands after polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis; ultracentrifuge studies indicated one homogeneous band with a molecular weight of 144 000. After reduction of myeloperoxidase, sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis resolved an intense band (63 000 daltons) and a weak band (81 000 daltons). 3. The carbohydrate content of the enzyme was at least 2.5%. Mannose, glucose and N-acetylglucosamine were present. The amino acid composition is reported. 4. The EPR spectrum exhibited a high-spin heme signal with rhombic symmetry (gx = 6.92, gy = 5.07 and gz = 1.95). Upon acidification this signal was converted into a signal with more axial symmetry (g perpendicular = 5.89). At high pH (9.5) the EPR spectrum of the enzyme only shows low-spin ferric heme resonances. The circular dichroism spectra of ferric and ferrous myeloperoxidase in the visible and ultraviolet region show maxima and minima in ellipticity. 相似文献
