CHLOROPEROXIDASE MIXTURE OF FERRIC AND FERROUS STATES (LOW DOSE DATA SET)

Overview

The X-ray crystallographic analysis of redox-active systems may be, complicated by photoreduction. Although radiolytic reduction by the, probing X-ray beam may be exploited to generate otherwise short-lived, reaction intermediates of metalloproteins, it is generally an undesired, feature. Here, the X-ray-induced reduction of the three heme proteins, myoglobin, cytochrome P450cam and chloroperoxidase has been followed by, on-line UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy. All three systems showed a very, rapid reduction of the heme iron. In chloroperoxidase the change of the, ionization state from ferric to ferrous heme is associated with a movement, of the heme-coordinating water molecule. The influence of the energy of, the incident X-ray photons and of the presence of scavengers on the, apparent ... [(full description)]
