Abstract:Addition of NaN3 to ferric protohemin biscoordinated with 1-methylimidazole (1-MeIm) or 2-methylimidazole (2-MeIm) in (CH3)2SO resulted in sizeable visible absorption changes, corresponding to the formation of the mixed ligand complexes, hemin X N-3 X 1-MeIm and hemin X N-3 X 2-MeIm. The visible absorption spectrum of the 1-MeIm complex was closely similar to those of azide hemoproteins, while the 2-MeIm derivative exhibited intensified 500 and 625 nm bands and depressed 540 and 570 nm peaks. The iron-bound N-3 of the model complexes exhibited two infrared stretching bands, which were assigned to the high- and low-spin peaks. The intensity of the high-spin infrared peaks increased at higher temperature. From the analyses of the infrared spectral changes, the thermodynamic values of the thermal spin equilibria were determined to be delta H = -3920 cal/mol and delta S = -11.1 e.u. for hemin X N-3 X 1-MeIm and delta H = -2150 cal/mol and delta S = 7.9 e.u. for hemin X N-3 X 2-MeIm. The thermodynamic values of the 1-MeIm complex are similar to the reported values for azide metmyoglobin, suggesting that the contribution from the nonbonded porphyrin-globin contacts to the spin equilibrium is small in azide metmyoglobin. Comparison of the delta H and delta S values among model systems indicates that delta H and delta S compensation similar to that observed in hemoprotein also holds in the models. This may suggest an underlying common denominator for the spin-equilibrium mechanisms in hemins and hemoproteins.
