Significantly shorter Fe-S bond in cytochrome P450-I is consistent with greater reactivity relative to chloroperoxidase. Nat Chem 2015; 7:696-702.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 (P450) and chloroperoxidase (CPO) are thiolate ligated heme proteins that catalyze the activation of carbon hydrogen bonds. The principal intermediate in these reactions is a ferryl radical species called compound I. P450 compound I (P450-I) is significantly more reactive than CPO-I, which only cleaves activated C-H bonds. To provide insight into the differing reactivities of these intermediates, we examined CPO-I and P450-I with variable temperature Mössbauer and X-ray absorption spectroscopies. These measurements indicate that the Fe-S bond is significantly shorter in P450-I than in CPO-I. This difference in Fe-S bond lengths can be understood in terms of variations in hydrogen bonding patterns within the “cys-pocket” (a portion of the proximal helix that encircles the thiolate ligand). Weaker hydrogen bonding in P450-I results in a shorter Fe-S bond, which enables greater electron donation from the axial-thiolate ligand. This observation may in part explain P450's greater propensity for C-H bond activation.

Abstract
This work reports Mössbauer and DFT studies of the diiron-N2 complex LMeFeNNFeLMe (L = beta-diketiminate), 1a. Complex 1a, formally diiron(I), has a system spin S = 3 with an isolated MS = +/-3 quasi-doublet as a ground state; the MS = +/-2 doublet is >100 cm-1 higher in energy. Complex 1a exhibits at 4.2 K a large, positive magnetic hyperfine field, Bint = +68.1 T, and an effective g value of 16 +/- 2 along the easy magnetization axis of the ground doublet; this value is significantly larger than the spin-only value (g = 12). These results have been rationalized by DFT calculations, which show that each Fe site donates significant electron density into the pi* orbitals of dinitrogen, resulting in a configuration best described as two high-spin FeII (Sa = Sb = 2) bridged by triplet N22- (Sc = 1). In this description the minority spin electron of each iron is accommodated by two nonbonding, closely spaced 3d orbitals, z2 and yz (z is perpendicular to the diketiminate planes, x is along the Fe...Fe vector). Spin-orbit coupling between these orbital states generates a large unquenched orbital momentum along the iron-iron vector. The S = 3 ground state of 1a results from strong antiferromagnetic direct exchange couplings of the Fe spins (Sa = Sb = 2) to the N22- spin (Sc = 1) and can be formulated as ((Sa,Sb)Sab = 4, Sc = 1), S = 3>; H = J(Sa + Sb).Sc with J approximately 3500 cm-1.

Abstract
The synthesis and X-ray structure of the low-coordinate, high-spin Fe(I) compound LFe(HCCPh) (L = HC(C[tBu]N[2,6-diisopropylphenyl])2]-), 1, are reported. Low-temperature Mössbauer and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopies reveal that the electronic ground state is a Kramers doublet with uniaxial magnetic properties (effective g values g(x) = 8.9, 0 < g(y), g(z) < 0.3) that is well isolated from the excited states. The observation of a large and positive magnetic hyperfine field, B(int) = +68.8(3) T, demonstrates that the orbital angular moment is essentially unquenched along one spatial direction. Relaxation rates obtained from variable-temperature Mössbauer spectra were fit to an Orbach process, yielding delta = 130-190 cm(-1) for the energy gap ("zero-field splitting") between the two Kramers doublets of the S = 3/2 multiplet. Density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT calculations give insight into the electronic structures of the ground and excited states. The oxidation state of the iron and the bond order of the phenylacetylene ligand in complex 1 are analyzed using DFT, showing a substantial back-bonding interaction. Spin-orbit coupling acting in the subspace of quasi-degenerate z2 and yz orbitals provides a consistent description of both the zero-field splitting and magnetic hyperfine parameters that fits the EPR and Mössbauer data for 1. Interestingly, the spin-orbit coupling involves the same two orbitals (z2, yz) as in the analogous three-coordinate Fe(II) compounds, because back-bonding significantly lowers the energy of the xy orbital, making it the lowest doubly occupied d orbital. Despite the different oxidation state and different number of atoms in the first coordination sphere, the electronic structure of LFe(I)(HCCPh) can be interpreted similarly to that of three-coordinate Fe(II) diketiminate complexes, but with a substantial effect of back-bonding. To our knowledge, this is the first detailed Mössbauer and EPR study of a structurally characterized high-spin Fe(I) complex.

Abstract
Nuclear gamma resonance spectroscopy, also known as Mössbauer spectroscopy, is a technique that probes transitions between the nuclear ground state and a low-lying nuclear excited state. The nucleus most amenable to Mössbauer spectroscopy is 57Fe, and 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy provides detailed information about the chemical environment and electronic structure of iron. Iron is by far the most structurally and functionally diverse metal ion in biology, and 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy has played an important role in the elucidation of its biochemistry. In this article, we give a brief introduction to the technique and then focus on two recent exciting developments pertaining to the application of 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy in biochemistry. The first is the use of the rapid freeze-quench method in conjunction with Mössbauer spectroscopy to monitor changes at the Fe site during a biochemical reaction. This method has allowed for trapping and subsequent detailed spectroscopic characterization of reactive intermediates and thus has provided unique insight into the reaction mechanisms of Fe-containing enzymes. We outline the methodology using two examples: (1) oxygen activation by the non-heme diiron enzymes and (2) oxygen activation by taurine:alpha-ketoglutarate dioxygenase (TauD). The second development concerns the calculation of Mössbauer parameters using density functional theory (DFT) methods. By using the example of TauD, we show that comparison of experimental Mössbauer parameters with those obtained from calculations on model systems can be used to provide insight into the structure of a reaction intermediate.

Abstract
We report structural and spectroscopic data for a series of six-coordinate (nitrosyl)iron(II) porphyrinates. The structures of three tetraphenylporphyrin complexes [Fe(TPP)(NO)(L)], where L = 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine, 1-methylimidazole, 4-methylpiperidine, are reported here to a high degree of precision and allow observation of several previously unobserved structural features. The tight range of bonding parameters for the [FeNO] moiety for these three complexes suggests a canonical representation for six-coordinate systems (Fe-N(p) = 2.007 A, Fe-N(NO) = 1.753 A, angle FeNO = 138.5 degrees ). Comparison of these data with those obtained previously for five-coordinate systems allows the precise determination of the structural effects of binding a sixth ligand. These include lengthening of the Fe-N(NO) bond and a decrease in the Fe-N-O angle. Several other aspects of the geometry of these systems are also discussed, including the first examples of off-axis tilting of a nitrosyl ligand in a six-coordinate [FeNO](7) heme system. We also report the first examples of Mössbauer studies for these complexes. Measurements have been made in several applied magnetic fields as well as in zero field. The spectra differ from those of their five-coordinate analogues. To obtain reasonable fits to applied magnetic field data, rotation of the electrical field gradient is required, consistent with differing g-tensor orientations in the five- vs six-coordinate species.

Abstract
4-Hydroxybutyryl-CoA dehydratase from Clostridium aminobutyricum catalyzes the dehydration of 4-hydroxybutyryl-CoA to crotonyl-CoA. Although dehydration is an overall non-redox reaction, the enzyme contains FAD and Fe-S clusters. Previous work has shown that the Fe-S clusters are difficult to reduce and therefore unlikely to be redox-active in catalysis. Here, Mössbauer spectroscopy has been used to characterise the Fe-S clusters in active as well as in air-inactivated enzyme. In zero magnetic field at 80 K and 4.2 K, the spectra of active dehydratase consisted mainly of one species (95%) with quadrupole splitting, deltaE(Q) = 1.00 mm s(-1) and isomer shift, delta = 0.43 mm s(-1). Magnetically perturbed Mössbauer spectra indicated a spin of zero. In the presence of 6 mM crotonyl-CoA, the spectra remained unchanged. Taken together, the data show that there are [4Fe-4S]2+ in the enzyme, most probably two clusters/homotetramer, that the four iron atoms in each cluster are coordinated in an identical fashion, and that there is no direct interaction with substrates. We therefore infer that the Fe-S clusters serve a structural rather than a catalytic role in 4-hydroxybutyryl-CoA dehydratase. In air-inactivated enzyme (10% residual activity), a new doublet appeared (58%) with deltaE(Q) = 0.72 mm s(-1), delta = 0.32 mm s(-1) and S = 0. The assignment of this subspectrum to [3Fe-4S]+ clusters, based on the typical Mössbauer parameters, is contradicted by the finding of spin zero for the species. One possible explanation could be spin-coupling of two [3Fe-4S]+ clusters in close proximity.

Abstract
We propose a ligand field model to interpret the differences between the spectroscopic properties of reduced rubredoxin and desulforedoxin. The experimental data are well reproduced by using a common set of ligand field parameters and slightly different values of the mixing parameter theta for the two proteins. In this class of iron-sulfur clusters, the rhombic distortion could be modulated by variations of the S-Fe-S angles.
