Abstract
The colocalization of heme rich deposits in the senile plaque of Aβ in the cerebral cortex of the Alzheimer's disease (AD) brain along with altered heme homeostasis and heme deficiency symptoms in AD patients has invoked the association of heme in AD pathology. Heme bound Aβ complexes, depending on the concentration of the complex or peptide to heme ratio, exhibit an equilibrium between a high-spin mono-His bound peroxidase-type active site and a low-spin bis-His bound cytochrome b type active site. The high-spin heme-Aβ complex shows higher peroxidase activity than free heme, where compound I is the reactive oxidant. It is also capable of oxidizing neurotransmitters like serotonin in the presence of peroxide, owing to the formation of compound I. The low-spin bis-His heme-Aβ complex on the other hand shows enhanced peroxidase activity relative to high-spin heme-Aβ. It reacts with H2O2 to produce two stable intermediates, compound 0 and compound I, which are characterized by absorption, EPR and resonance Raman spectroscopy. The stability of compound I of low-spin heme-Aβ is accountable for its enhanced peroxidase activity and oxidation of the neurotransmitter serotonin. The effect of the second sphere Tyr10 residue of Aβ on the formation and stability of the intermediates of low-spin heme-Aβ has also been investigated. The higher stability of compound I for low-spin heme-Aβ is likely due to H-bonding interactions involving Tyr10 in the distal pocket.

Abstract
In addition to copper and zinc, heme is thought to play a role in Alzheimer's disease and its metabolism is strongly affected during the course of this disease. Amyloid β, the peptide associated with Alzheimer's disease, was shown to bind heme in vitro with potential catalytic activity linked to oxidative stress. To date, there is no direct determination of the structure of this complex. In this work, we studied the binding mode of heme to amyloid β in different conditions of pH and redox state by using isotopically labelled peptide in combination with advanced magnetic and vibrational spectroscopic methods. Our results show that the interaction between heme and amyloid β leads to a variety of species in equilibrium. The formation of these species seems to depend on many factors suggesting that the binding site is neither very strong nor highly specific. In addition, our data do not support the currently accepted model where a water molecule is bound to the ferric heme as sixth ligand. They also exclude structural models mimicking a peroxidatic site in the amyloid β-Fe-protoheme complexes.

Abstract
Cytochromes P450 bind and cleave dioxygen to generate a potent intermediate compound I, capable of hydroxylating inert hydrocarbon substrates. Cytochrome P450 119, a bacterial cytochrome P450 that serves as a good model system for the study of the intermediate states in the P450 catalytic cycle. CYP119 is found in high temperature and sulfur rich environments. Though the natural substrate and redox partner are still unknown, a potential application of such thermophilic P450s is utilizing them as biocatalysts in biotechnological industry; e.g., the synthesis of organic compounds otherwise requiring hostile environments like extremes of pH or temperature. In the present work the oxygenated complex of this enzyme bound to lauric acid, a surrogate substrate known to have a good binding affinity, was studied by a combination of cryoradiolysis and resonance Raman spectroscopy, to trap and characterize active site structures of the key fleeting enzymatic intermediates, including the peroxo and hydroperoxo species.

Abstract
Protonated ferryl (or iron(IV)hydroxide) intermediates have been characterized in several thiolate-ligated heme proteins that are known to catalyze C-H bond activation. The basicity of the ferryl intermediates in these species has been proposed to play a critical role in facilitating this chemistry, allowing hydrogen abstraction at reduction potentials below those that would otherwise lead to oxidative degradation of the enzyme. In this contribution, we discuss the events that led to the assignment and characterization of the unusual iron(IV)hydroxide species, highlighting experiments that provided a quantitative measure of the ferryl basicity, the iron(IV)hydroxide pKa. We then turn to the importance of the iron(IV)hydroxide state, presenting a new way of looking at the role of thiolate ligation in these systems.

Abstract
The critical role of the ferryl intermediate in catalyzing the oxygen chemistry of monooxygenases, oxidases, or peroxidases has been known for decades. In contrast, its involvement in heme-based dioxygenases, such as human indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (hIDO), was not recognized until recently. In this study, H(2)O(2) was used as a surrogate to generate the ferryl intermediate of hIDO. Spectroscopic data demonstrate that the ferryl species is capable of oxidizing azinobis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) but not L-Trp. Kinetic studies reveal that the conversion of the ferric enzyme to the ferryl intermediate facilitates the L-Trp binding rate by >400-fold; conversely, L-Trp binding to the enzyme retards the peroxide reaction rate by ∼9-fold, because of the significant elevation of the entropic barrier. The unfavorable entropic factor for the peroxide reaction highlights the scenario that the structure of hIDO is not optimized for utilizing H(2)O(2) as a co-substrate for oxidizing L-Trp. Titration studies show that the ferryl intermediate possesses two substrate-binding sites with a K(d) of 0.3 and 440 μM and that the electronic properties of the ferryl moiety are sensitive to the occupancy of the two substrate-binding sites. The implications of the data are discussed in the context of the structural and functional relationships of the enzyme.

Abstract
The diheme enzyme MauG catalyzes the posttranslational modification of a precursor protein of methylamine dehydrogenase (preMADH) to complete the biosynthesis of its protein-derived tryptophan tryptophylquinone (TTQ) cofactor. It catalyzes three sequential two-electron oxidation reactions which proceed through a high-valent bis-Fe(IV) redox state. Tyr294, the unusual distal axial ligand of one c-type heme, was mutated to His, and the crystal structure of Y294H MauG in complex with preMADH reveals that this heme now has His-His axial ligation. Y294H MauG is able to interact with preMADH and participate in interprotein electron transfer, but it is unable to catalyze the TTQ biosynthesis reactions that require the bis-Fe(IV) state. This mutation affects not only the redox properties of the six-coordinate heme but also the redox and CO-binding properties of the five-coordinate heme, despite the 21 Å separation of the heme iron centers. This highlights the communication between the hemes which in wild-type MauG behave as a single diheme unit. Spectroscopic data suggest that Y294H MauG can stabilize a high-valent redox state equivalent to Fe(V), but it appears to be an Fe(IV)═O/π radical at the five-coordinate heme rather than the bis-Fe(IV) state. This compound I-like intermediate does not catalyze TTQ biosynthesis, demonstrating that the bis-Fe(IV) state, which is stabilized by Tyr294, is specifically required for this reaction. The TTQ biosynthetic reactions catalyzed by wild-type MauG do not occur via direct contact with the Fe(IV)═O heme but via long-range electron transfer through the six-coordinate heme. Thus, a critical feature of the bis-Fe(IV) species may be that it shortens the electron transfer distance from preMADH to a high-valent heme iron.

Abstract
Recent progress in generating and stabilizing reactive heme protein enzymatic intermediates by cryoradiolytic reduction has prompted application of a range of spectroscopic approaches to effectively interrogate these species. The impressive potential of resonance Raman spectroscopy for characterizing such samples has been recently demonstrated in a number of studies of peroxo- and hydroperoxo-intermediates. While it is anticipated that this approach can be productively applied to the wide range of heme proteins whose reaction cycles naturally involve these peroxo- and hydroperoxo-intermediates, one limitation that sometimes arises is the lack of enhancement of the key intraligand nu(O-O) stretching mode in the native systems. The present work was undertaken to explore the utility of cobalt substitution to enhance both the nu(Co-O) and nu(O-O) modes of the CoOOH fragments of hydroperoxo forms of heme proteins bearing a trans-axial histidine linkage. Thus, having recently completed RR studies of hydroperoxo myoglobin, attention is now turned to its cobalt-substituted analogue. Spectra are acquired for samples prepared with (16)O(2) and (18)O(2) to reveal the nu(M-O) and nu(O-O) modes, the latter indeed being observed only for the cobalt-substituted proteins. In addition, spectra of samples prepared in deuterated solvents were also acquired, providing definitive evidence for the presence of the hydroperoxo-species.

Abstract
The catalytic cycle intermediates of heme peroxidases, known as compounds I and II, have been of long standing interest as models for intermediates of heme proteins, such as the terminal oxidases and cytochrome P450 enzymes, and for non-heme iron enzymes as well. Reports of resonance Raman signals for compound I intermediates of the oxo-iron(IV) porphyrin pi-cation radical type have been sometimes contradictory due to complications arising from photolability, causing compound I signals to appear similar to those of compound II or other forms. However, studies of synthetic systems indicated that protein based compound I intermediates of the oxoiron(IV) porphyrin pi-cation radical type should exhibit vibrational signatures that are different from the non-radical forms. The compound I intermediates of horseradish peroxidase (HRP), and chloroperoxidase (CPO) from Caldariomyces fumago do in fact exhibit unique and characteristic vibrational spectra. The nature of the putative oxoiron(IV) bond in peroxidase intermediates has been under discussion in the recent literature, with suggestions that the Fe(IV)O unit might be better described as Fe(IV)-OH. The generally low Fe(IV)O stretching frequencies observed for proteins have been difficult to mimic in synthetic ferryl porphyrins via electron donation from trans axial ligands alone. Resonance Raman studies of iron-oxygen vibrations within protein species that are sensitive to pH, deuteration, and solvent oxygen exchange, indicate that hydrogen bonding to the oxoiron(IV) group within the protein environment contributes to substantial lowering of Fe(IV)O frequencies relative to those of synthetic model compounds.

Abstract
The heme structure perturbation of poly(ethylene glycol)-modified horseradish peroxidase (HRP-PEG) dissolved in benzene and toluene has been probed by resonance Raman dispersion spectroscopy. Analysis of the depolarization ratio dispersion of several Raman bands revealed an increase of rhombic B(1g) distortion with respect to native HRP in water. This finding strongly supports the notion that a solvent molecule has moved into the heme pocket where it stays in close proximity to one of the heme's pyrrole rings. The interactions between the solvent molecule, the heme, and the heme cavity slightly stabilize the hexacoordinate high spin state without eliminating the pentacoordinate quantum mixed spin state that is dominant in the resting enzyme. On the contrary, the model substrate benzohydroxamic acid strongly favors the hexacoordinate quantum mixed spin state and induces a B(2g)-type distortion owing to its position close to one of the heme methine bridges. These results strongly suggest that substrate binding must have an influence on the heme geometry of HRP and that the heme structure of the enzyme-substrate complex (as opposed to the resting state) must be the key to understanding the chemical reactivity of HRP.

Abstract
Density functional theory (DFT) calculations of the energetics, molecular structures, and spin density profiles of metalloporphyrin pi-cation radicals suggest that the common practice of describing these radicals in terms of a universal A(1u)/A(2u) dichotomy is often not justified, confirming a possibility first foreseen by Prendergast and Spiro (ref 15) over a decade ago on the basis of vibrational spectroscopy and semiempirical calculations. Because of near-degeneracy of the a(1u) and a(2u) HOMOs of many metalloporphyrins, the cation radicals derived from these compounds undergo a pseudo-Jahn-Teller (pJT) distortion and are, therefore, best described as (2)A(u) with reference to the C(4h) point group, rather than as (2)A(1u) (D(4h) or (2)A(2u) (D(4h)). We find that the porphyrin cation radicals undergo a pJT distortion if the energy difference between the (2)A(1u) and (2)A(2u) pi-cation radicals, optimized under D(4h) symmetry constraints, is less than 0.15 eV. According to this criterion, metallo-porphine and metallo-OEP pi-cation radicals should always be pJT-distorted and metallo-meso-tetrahalogenoporphyrin radicals should not. For [Zn(TPP(*))](+), the (2)A(1u)/(2)A(2u) energy difference is almost exactly at the threshold of 0.15 eV, consistent with the experimental observation of both symmetry-broken and undistorted structures for this species. The (2)A(1u)/(2)A(2u) energy difference (when the molecular geometries are optimized under a D(4h) symmetry constraint) also appears to govern whether the real pJT-distorted cation radical is more A(1u)- or A(2u)-like in terms of its spin density profile. Because many metalloporphyrin pi-cation radicals exist as cofacial dimers in the crystalline phase, we examined the symmetries and structures of the model compounds [[Zn(P)](2)](+,2+) by means of DFT geometry optimizations. The results showed that dimerization has relatively little impact on the bond length alternation in the individual rings. A final interesting result, consistent with experiment, is that the bond length alternation in the delocalized mixed-valence dimer [[Zn(P)](2)](+) is about half that found for [[Zn(P)](2)](2+).

Abstract
This study addresses the viability of sol-gel encapsulated HRP (HRP:sol-gel) as a recyclable solid-state catalytic material. Ferric, ferric-CN, ferrous, and ferrous-CO forms of HRP:sol-gel were investigated by resonance Raman and UV-visible methods. Electronic and vibrational spectroscopic changes associated with changes in spin state, oxidation state, and ligation of the heme in HRP:sol-gel were shown to correlate with those of HRP in solution, showing that the heme remains a viable ligand-binding complex. Furthermore, the high-valent HRP:sol-gel intermediates, compound I and compound II, were generated and identified by time-resolved UV-visible spectroscopy. Catalytic activity of the HRP:sol-gel material was demonstrated by enzymatic assays by using I(-), guaiacol, and ABTS as substrates. Encapsulated HRP was shown to be homogeneously distributed throughout the sol-gel host. Differences in turnover rates between guaiacol and I(-) implicate mass transport of substrate through the silicate matrix as a defining parameter in the peroxidase activity of HRP:sol-gel. HRP:sol-gel was reused as a peroxidation catalyst for multiple reaction cycles without loss of activity, indicating that such materials show promise as reusable catalytic materials.

Abstract
The kinetics of formation and breakdown of the putative active oxygenating intermediate in cytochrome P450, a ferryl-oxo-(pi) porphyrin cation radical (Compound I), have been analyzed in the reaction of a thermostable P450, CYP119, with meta-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (m-CPBA). Upon rapid mixing of m-CPBA with the ferric form of CYP119, an intermediate with spectral features characteristic of a ferryl-oxo-(pi) porphyrin cation radical was clearly observed and identified by the absorption maxima at 370, 610, and 690 nm. The rate constant for the formation of Compound I was 3.20 (+/-0.3) x 10(5) m(-1) s(-1) at pH 7.0, 4 degrees C, and this rate decreased with increasing pH. Compound I of CYP119 decomposed back to the ferric form with a first order rate constant of 29.4 +/- 3.4 s(-1), which increased with increasing pH. These findings form the first kinetic analysis of Compound I formation and decay in the reaction of m-CPBA with ferric P450.

Abstract
Ferric metHb can be photoreduced to the ferrous state by direct photoexcitation in the near-ultraviolet region. In this research, we studied the mechanism and facilitating conditions for the photoreduction and the resulting restoration of O(2) binding. MetHb in phosphate-buffered saline or pure water in a CO atmosphere was photoreduced to form HbCO by illuminating the N band (365 nm), one of the porphyrin pi --> pi transitions, whereas the photoreduction did not occur in Ar, N(2), or O(2). The transient absorption spectrum exhibited the generation of deoxyHb within 30 ns in both the CO and Ar atmospheres; however, only in CO did the subsequent CO binding inhibit the back reaction. The photoreduction rate was dependent on the pH and ligand anions, showing that aquametHb in the high-spin state was predominant for the photoreduction. Axial ligand-to-metal charge-transfer (LMCT) bands overlap with the Soret and Q bands in metHb; however, the excitation of these bands showed little photoreduction, indicating that the contribution of these LMCT bands is minimal. Excitation of the N band significantly contributes to the photoreduction, and this is facilitated by the external addition of mannitol, hyaluronic acid, Trp, Tyr, etc. Especially, Trp allowed the photoreduction even in an Ar atmosphere, and the reduced Hb can be converted to HbO(2) by O(2) bubbling. One mechanism of the metHb photoreduction that is proposed on the basis of these results consists of a charge transfer from the porphyrin ring to the central ferric iron to form the porphyrin pi cation radical and ferrous iron by the N band excitation, and the contribution of the amino acid residues in the globin chain as an electron donor or an electron pathway.

Abstract
The pH-dependent behavior of the ferric forms of two soluble truncations of Rhizobium meliloti FixL, FixL (heme and kinase domains, functional), and FixLN (heme domain) are examined by UV-visible, resonance Raman, and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. Global analysis of UV-visible data indicates that the pKa for hydroxide binding is slightly higher in FixL than in FixLN. Spectroscopic data show that high-spin and low-spin hydroxide adducts of FixLN and FixL exist in a thermal spin-state equilibrium with a significant fraction of the heme in the high spin form at room temperature. FixLN and FixL differ from myoglobin and hemoglobin in that their hemes are not fully ligated by hydroxide ion under strongly alkaline conditions. In addition to the binding of hydroxide ion, both FixLN and FixL undergo additional alkaline transitions that involve the deprotonation of tyrosine residues. FixLN contains four tyrosine residues. One has a pKa of 9.6, which is indistinguishable from that for hydroxide binding to the heme. The other three tyrosines have pKas greater than 11. At pH 11, the alkaline species react with cyanide to yield the familiar low-spin cyanide adduct. Upon reduction of the heme iron, the alkaline forms of the FixL deletion derivatives are converted to their deoxy forms. Resonance Raman spectra reveal that the Fe-His stretching vibrations of deoxyFixLN and deoxyFixL are not measurably shifted from those of their neutral counterparts. Treatment of the alkaline deoxyFixLs with O2 yields the respective oxy forms. Spectroscopic evidence indicates that the loss of activity at elevated pH cannot be attributed solely to generation of a low-spin heme hydroxide. Involvement of one or more tyrosines in signal transmission between the heme and kinase domains of FixL is proposed.

Abstract
Resonance Raman spectra (600-1700 cm-1) for the heme enzyme soybean peroxidase (Rz = 2.5) were obtained using Soret band excitation at 406.7 nm. The vibrational frequencies and depolarization data indicate a strong similarity between the active sites of soybean and horseradish peroxidase. This similarity suggests that the active site in the resting form of soybean peroxidase contains a ferric iron, is a high-spin 5-coordinate heme binding His as a fifth axial ligand.

Abstract
The electronic absorption and resonance Raman spectra of the fluoride complexes of various peroxidases and selected site-directed mutants have been studied at pH 5.0, and compared to the spectra obtained for the myoglobin-F adduct. It is shown that the electronic absorption maxima depend on the degree of conjugation between the porphyrin macrocycle and the vinyl substituents. Moreover, it is confirmed that the wavelength of the CT1 band is a sensitive probe of axial ligand polarity and of its interaction with the distal protein residues. The results highlight the different mechanism of stabilization of the fluoride ligand exerted by the distal residues in myoglobin and peroxidases. In peroxidases, the Arg is determinant in controlling the ligand binding via a strong hydrogen bond between the positively charged guanidinium group and the anion. Mutation of Arg to Leu decreases the stability of the complex by 900-fold, suggesting that this interaction stabilizes the complex by 4 kcal/mol. The distal His also contributes to the stability of the fluoride complex, presumably by accepting a proton from HF and hydrogen-bonding, through a water molecule, to the anion. Mutation of His to Leu decreases the stability of the fluoride complex by 30-fold, suggesting that this interaction is much weaker than the interaction with the distal Arg. For Mb, the distal His is solely responsible for stabilization of the exogenous ligand.

Abstract
Resonance Raman studies of native and mesoheme-reconstituted horseradish peroxidase and their catalytic intermediates, known as Compounds I and II, have been conducted using both near UV ( approximately 350 nm) and visible (406.7 nm) excitation. Careful power studies indicate that the authentic Compound I spectra are obtainable using near UV excitation, but that use of visible excitation results in contamination of the Compound I spectrum with the spectrum of a Compound II-like photoproduct. Using H218O2, the nu(Fe=O) stretching modes for both systems are unambiguously identified, for the first time, at approximately 790 cm-1. The authentic Compound I spectra are indicative of an 2A1u-like ground state for both the native and the mesoheme-reconstituted proteins. Finally, the possible biological implications of such information are briefly discussed.

Abstract
The proximal iron ligand in horseradish peroxidase (HRP) is His-170. The H170A mutant of polyhistidine-tagged HRP (hHRP) has been expressed in a baculovirus system and has been purified and characterized. At pH 7, the Soret maximum of the mutant is at 414 nm rather than 403 nm. Resonance Raman spectra indicate that the protein is primarily 6-coordinate low-spin in the ferric state with a band in the ferrous state at 212 cm-1 indicative of distal histidine coordination to the iron. Exogenous imidazole (Im) binds to the enzyme with Kd = 22 +/- 4 mM. Reaction of H170A hHRP with H2O2 does not give spectroscopically detectable compound I or compound II intermediates but results in gradual degradation of the heme group. Nevertheless, H170A hHRP is catalytically active, and its guaiacol and ABTS peroxidase activities are improved 260- and 125-fold, respectively, in the presence of saturating concentrations of Im. The Km for the stimulatory effect of Im is 24 mM for both guaiacol and ABTS. The pH profile of H170A hHRP differs from that of wild-type hHRP, but the differences are essentially eliminated by Im. The rate of formation of "compound I" for H170A hHRP, determined by steady state kinetic methods, is k1 = 16 M-1 s-1 without Im and k1 = 2.4 x 10(4) M-1 s-1 with Im. The corresponding rate for wild-type hHRP is k1 = 4.4 x 10(6) M-1 s-1. The results indicate that Im binds in the cavity created by the H170A mutation, coordinates to the heme iron atom, and restores a large part of the catalytic activity by rescuing the rate of compound I formation. However, this rescue of the catalytic activity by Im is possibly limited by coordination of the heme to the distal histidine (His-42) in the H170A mutant. Thus, a primary function of the proximal histidine is to tether the iron atom to disfavor sixth ligand binding, particularly coordination of the iron to the distal histidine. In addition, strong hydrogen bonding of the proximal ligand may be critical for facilitating O-O bond cleavage in the formation of compound I.

Abstract
Cytochrome bd oxidase is a bacterial terminal oxidase that contains three cofactors: a low-spin heme (b558), a high-spin heme (b595), and a chlorin d. The center of dioxygen reduction has been proposed to be a binuclear b595/d site, whereas b558 is mainly involved in transferring electrons from ubiquinol to the oxidase. Information on the nature of the axial ligands of the three heme centers has come from site-directed mutagenesis and spectroscopy, which have implicated a His/Met coordination for b558 (Spinner, F., Cheesman, M. R., Thomson, A. J., Kaysser, T., Gennis, R. B., Peng, Q., & Peterson, J. (1995) Biochem. J. 308, 641-644; Kaysser, T. M., Ghaim, J. B., Georgiou, C., & Gennis, R. B. (1995) Biochemistry 34, 13491-13501), but the ligands to b595 and d are not known with certainty. In this work, the three heme chromophores of the fully reduced cytochrome bd oxidase are studied individually by selective enhancement of their resonance Raman (rR) spectra at particular excitation wavelengths. The rR spectrum obtained with 413.1-nm excitation is dominated by the bands of the 5cHS b595(2+) cofactor. Excitation close to 560 nm yields a rR spectrum dominated by the 6cLS b558(2+) heme. Wavelengths between these values enhance contributions from both b595(2+) and b558(2+) chromophores. The rR bands of the ferrous chlorin become the major features with red laser excitation (595-650 nm). The rR data indicate that d2+ is a 5cHS system whose axial ligand is either a weakly coordinating protein donor or a water molecule. In the low-frequency region of the 441.6-nm spectrum, we assign a rR band at 225 cm-1 to the (b595)Fe(II)-N(His) stretching vibration, based on its 1.2-cm(-1) upshift in the 54Fe-labeled enzyme. This observation provides the first physical evidence that the proximal ligand of b595 is a histidine. Site-directed mutagenesis had suggested that His 19 is associated with either b595 or d (Fang, H., Lin, R. -J., & Gennis, R. B. (1989) J. Biol. Chem. 264, 8026-8032). On the basis of the present study, we propose that the proximal ligand of b595 is His 19. We have also studied the reaction of cyanide with the fully reduced cytochrome bd oxidase. In approximately 700-fold excess cyanide (approximately 35 mM), the 629-nm UV/vis band of d2+ is blue-shifted to 625 nm and diminished in intensity. However, the rR spectra at each of three different gamma(0) (413.1, 514.5, and 647.1 nm) are identical with or without cyanide, thus indicating that both b595 and d remain as 5cHS species in the presence of CN-. This observation leads to the proposal that a native ligand of ferrous chlorin d is replaced by CN- to form the 5cHS d2+ cyano adduct. These findings corroborate our companion study of the "as-isolated" enzyme in which we proposed a 5cHS d3+ cyano adduct (Sun, J., Osborne, J. P., Kahlow, M. A., Kaysser, T. M., Hill, J. J., Gennis, R. B., & Loehr, T. M. (1995) Biochemistry 34, 12144-12151). To further characterize the unusual and unexpected nature of these proposed high-spin cyanide adducts, we have obtained EPR spectral evidence that binding of cyanide to fully oxidized cytochrome bd oxidase perturbs a spin-state equilibrium in the chlorin d3+ to yield entirely the high-spin form of the cofactor.

Abstract
A new high-performance device for Raman/absorption simultaneous determination was developed. This was combined with a newly designed microcirculating system and was successfully applied to study intermediates in the reaction of bovine oxidized cytochrome c oxidase (CcO) with hydrogen peroxide under steady state conditions at ambient temperatures. Measurements with this device made it possible to correlate directly the species defined in terms of the visible absorption characteristics with specific Raman bands. The "607 nm" form of the enzyme obtained with H2(16)O2 gave an oxygen isotope sensitive band at 804 cm-1 (769 cm-1 with H2(18)O2) in the Soret excited resonance Raman (RR) spectrum. Its frequency and isotope frequency shifts are exactly the same as those observed previously with 607 nm excitation in nonsimultaneous measurements for the 607 nm form, for which the presence of an oxoiron heme was demonstrated. The so-called " 580 nm" form of the enzyme obtained with H2(16)O2 gave the main oxygen isotope sensitive band at 785 cm-1 (750 cm-1 with H2(18)O2) but appeared to consist of multiple species. This band was assigned to the FeIV = O stretching mode of ferryloxo heme on the basis of its isotopic frequency shift. Another oxygen isotope sensitive band was found at 355 cm-1 (340 cm-1 for H2(18)O2), similar to the case of dioxygen reaction. Temporal behavior of this band did not agree with either that of the 804 cm-1 band or that of the 785 cm-1 band but seemed to grow between the two species. The RR spectra in the higher frequency region of the 607 nm and 580 nm forms excited at 427 nm were quite alike and did not support the formation of a porphyrin pi-cation radical.

Abstract
Cytochrome bd oxidase is a terminal bacterial oxidase containing three cofactors: a low-spin heme (b558), a high-spin heme (b595), and a chlorin d. The center of dioxygen reduction has been proposed to be at a dinuclear b595/d site, whereas b558 is mainly involved in transferring electrons from ubiquinone. One of the unique functional features of this enzyme is its resistance to high concentrations of cyanide (Ki in the millimolar range). With the appropriate selection of laser lines, the ligation and spin states of the b558, b595, and d hemes can be probed selectively by resonance Raman (rR) spectroscopy. Wavelengths between 400 and 500 nm predominantly excite the rR spectra of the b558 and b595 chromophores. Spectra obtained within this interval show a mixed population of spin and ligation states arising from b558 and b595, with the former more strongly enhanced at higher energy. Red excitation wavelengths (590-650 nm) generate rR spectra characteristic of chlorins, indicating the selective enhancement of the d heme. These rR results reveal that cytochrome bd oxidase "as isolated" contains the b558 heme in a six-coordinate low-spin ferric state, the b595 heme in a five-coordinate high-spin (5cHS) ferric state, and the d heme in a mixture of oxygenated (FeIIO2 <--> FeIIIO2-; d650) and ferryl-oxo (FeIV = O; d680) states. However, the rR spectra of these two chlorin species indicate that they are both in the 5cHS state, suggesting that the d heme is lacking a strongly coordinated sixth ligand.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Studies of horseradish peroxidase (HRP), a prototypical enzyme, have provided much of the information that is available on the mechanisms and functions of hemoprotein peroxidases. HRP itself is widely used in biotechnological applications. Further progress in defining the structure and function of the enzyme, however, requires its expression in a heterologous system. We report here baculovirus-mediated, high yield expression of a synthetic gene for HRP in Spodoptera frugiperda cell culture. Expression of the soluble, glycosylated protein requires the 5'-leader sequence of the native gene. Recombinant horseradish peroxidase reacts with H2O2 to give compound I, II, and III spectra and a guaiacol oxidation activity, identical to those of the native enzyme. The integrity of the recombinant active site is confirmed by NMR spectroscopy and by catalytic reaction with ethylhydrazine to give a stabilized isoporphyrin that decays exclusively to delta-meso-ethylheme. Furthermore, thioanisoles are oxidized by recombinant and native HRP with the same enantiomeric specificity. HRP expressed in a baculovirus system, despite probable differences in glycosylation, is essentially identical to the native enzyme.
