L29W MB DEOXY

Overview

We have determined eight X-ray structures of myoglobin mutant L29W at, various experimental conditions. In addition, infrared spectroscopic, experiments are presented, which are discussed in the light of the X-ray, structures. Two distinct conformations of the CO-ligated protein were, identified, giving rise to two stretching bands of heme-bound CO. If L29W, MbCO crystals are illuminated around 180 K, a deoxy species is formed. The, CO molecules migrate to the proximal side of the heme and remain trapped, in the so-called Xe1 cavity upon temperature decrease to 105 K. The, structure of this photoproduct is almost identical to the equilibrium, high-temperature deoxy Mb structure. If the temperature is cycled to, increasingly higher values, CO recombination is observed. Three, intermediate ... [(full description)]
