| Abstract | We have measured the vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectra of the stretching vibrations of azide and cyanide ligated to the Fe3+ atoms of haemoglobin (Hb) and myoglobin (Mb). The antisymmetric azide-stretch of the low-spin haems have an anomalously large g-value of ca.–1 × 10–3. In contrast, CN– has a g-value of ca.+2.4 × 10–3. We also show, for the first time, that a significant VCD occurs for the azide ligand antisymmetric stretches of non-haem proteins; we measure a g-value of ca.–1 × 10–4 for azide bound to haemerythrin. We have examined the mechanism of the VCD phenomenon by: (1) reconstituting Mb with haems substituted such that they insert differently in the haem pocket; (2) replacing the Fe3+ with Mn3+; (3) examining proteins where replacements occur for E-7 His and E-11 Val distal amino acids close to the haem and (4) examining an Mb mutant where the proximal F-8 His is replaced by Gly, and where an imidazole ligand inserts into the resulting crevice and binds to the haem in a way similar to that of the proximal histidine in the native protein. The VCD anisotropy appears insensitive to the haem substituent replacements used in this study. Exchange of the E-7 distal His or the E-11 Val has a dramatic effect on the g-value. Exchange of the F-8 proximal His reverses the sign of the g-value for the azide complex, but not for the cyanide complex. The work to date indicates that VCD has the potential to become a sensitive technique for examining the structure of metalloenzymes. Work is needed to determine the mechanism giving rise to the large g-values and to correlate the VCD spectrum with the metalloenzyme structure at the active site. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
