| Abstract | The redox potential of the Rieske iron-sulfur protein depends on pH. It has been proposed that the histidines coordinating one of the irons are responsible for this pH dependence, but an experimental proof for this proposal is still lacking. In this work, we present a density functional/continuum electrostatics calculation of the pK a values of the histidines in the Rieske iron-sulfur center. The calculated apparent pK a values are 6.9 and 8.8 in the oxidized state, which are in good agreement with the corresponding experimental values of 7.5 and 9.2 and the measured pH dependence of the redox potential. Neither of these two pK a values can, however, be assigned to only one of the histidines. We find that both histidines titrate over a wide pH range in the oxidized state. Reduction of the iron-sulfur center shifts the pK a values to 11.3 and 12.8, thus above 10.0 as found experimentally. The results provide a complete picture of the coupling of proton and electron binding, showing strongly cooperative binding of protons at electrode potentials near the redox midpoint potential of the cluster. The potential biological function of the low pK a value of the histidines and the shift upon reduction are briefly discussed. Electronic supplementary material to this paper (comprising tables with the partial charges of the Rieske iron-sulfur cluster, optimized geometries of the 12 different states, and pK 1/2 values for the non-coordinating residues of the Rieske protein in the oxidized and reduced state) can be obtained by using the Springer Link server located at http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s00775-002-0342-6. |

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.
