| Abstract | Vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectra of the antisymmetric stretch of azide ligated to the heme of a series of evolutionarily diverse and site-directed mutant hemoglobins and myoglobins are anomalously intense and demonstrate an intriguing sensitivity to subtle protein-ligand interactions. The antisymmetric stretch of the azide ligand covalently bound to the low-spin iron shows an anisotropy ratio of -9.5 X 10"4 for sperm whale and horse myoglobin which decreases to -8.0 X 10"4 for human and carp hemoglobin and Chironimus thummi thummi III monomeric hemoglobin. The VCD spectra of these heme-azide complexes depend upon the interactions of the azide ligand with distal heme pocket residues such as the E7 distal histidine and El 1 valine. The site-directed mutants of sperm whale (distal histidine substituted GIy E7) and human (distal valine substituted Asn El 1) myoglobin have vanishingly small anisotropy ratios (<-0.5 X 1(T 4), while elephant myoglobin (distal histidine substituted GIn E7) shows an anisotropy ratio of-6.4 X ICT 4. The azide ligand ionically bound to a high-spin iron shows a vanishingly small VCD intensity. |
