| Abstract | This paper presents a new experimental approach for determining the individual optical characteristics of reduced heme a in bovine heart cytochrome c oxidase starting from a small selective shift of the heme a absorption spectrum induced by calcium ions. The difference spectrum induced by Ca2+ corresponds actually to a first derivative (differential) of the heme a 2+ absolute absorption spectrum. Such an absolute spectrum was obtained for the mixed-valence cyanide complex of cytochrome oxidase (a 2+ a 3 3+ -CN) and was subsequently used as a basis spectrum for further procession and modeling. The individual absorption spectrum of the reduced heme a in the Soret region was reconstructed as the integral of the difference spectrum induced by addition of Ca2+. The spectrum of heme a 2+ in the Soret region obtained in this way is characterized by a peak with a maximum at 447 nm and half-width of 17 nm and can be decomposed into two Gaussians with maxima at 442 and 451 nm and half-widths of ∼10 nm (589 cm−1) corresponding to the perpendicularly oriented electronic π→π* transitions B 0x and B 0y in the porphyrin ring. The reconstructed spectrum in the Soret band differs significantly from the “classical” absorption spectrum of heme a 2+ originally described by Vanneste (Vanneste, W. H. (1966) Biochemistry, 65, 838–848). The differences indicate that the overall γ-band of heme a 2+ in cytochrome oxidase contains in addition to the B 0x and B 0y transitions extra components that are not sensitive to calcium ions, or, alternatively, that the Vanneste’s spectrum of heme a 2+ contains significant contribution from heme a 3 2+ . The reconstructed absorption band of heme a 2+ in the α-band with maximum at 605 nm and half-width of 18 nm (850 cm−1) corresponds most likely to the individual Q 0y transition of heme a, whereas the Q 0x transition contributes only weakly to the spectrum. |

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.
