Spectroscopic identification of ferryl haem proteins

Various haem proteins such as horseradish peroxidase, cytochrome-c oxidase and cytochrome peroxidase have been shown to be oxidizable to states which correspond formally to Fe(IV) (Compound II) and Fe(V) (Compound I) oxidation levels (Yamada and Yamazaki, 1974  [Pg.119]

Witt and Chan, 1987 Rao et al., 1988) described as ferryl states. The Fe(IV) state has been designated as an iron-oxo complex (Fe02+) the Fe(V) state is a similar complex, the extra electron being lost from the porphyrin jr-system (P +-Fe02+) (Felton et al., 1976 Rakshit et al., 1976). [Pg.120]

It has been proposed that the second oxidizing equivalent is accepted by tyrosine-103 on the surface of the protein (Ortiz de Montel-lano, 1983) forming a tyrosine phenoxyl radical which rapidly takes up oxygen forming the peroxyl species (Davies, 1990) as depicted in Fig. 4.4. [Pg.120]

It is important to bear in mind that ferrylmyoglobin has two forms the radical species as described above, and the non-radical iron-oxo ferryl form in the iron(IV) state. [Pg.121]

The former can be detected by ESR spectroscopy (Fig. 4.5), by spin-trapping with DMPO or by stopped-flow analysis (Chapter 1). [Pg.121]
