The visible and near infrared magnetic circular dichroism spectra of chemically reduced horseradish peroxidase at neutral and alkaline pH values and 5-coordinate protoheme-(2-methylimidazole) at pH 9.1 were compared at 4.2 K with those of photolysis products of their carbon monoxide complexes. From the results obtained we concluded that: (i) there are two protein conformations of HRP which determine the geometry of the Fe-N(His) bond; (ii) the transition from one conformation (heme stereochemistry) to another can be induced by either heme-linked ionization or ligand binding; (iii) a trigger mechanism for switching between two conformations has to exist.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007477 Ions An atom or group of atoms that have a positive or negative electric charge due to a gain (negative charge) or loss (positive charge) of one or more electrons. Atoms with a positive charge are known as CATIONS; those with a negative charge are ANIONS.
D010084 Oxidation-Reduction A chemical reaction in which an electron is transferred from one molecule to another. The electron-donating molecule is the reducing agent or reductant; the electron-accepting molecule is the oxidizing agent or oxidant. Reducing and oxidizing agents function as conjugate reductant-oxidant pairs or redox pairs (Lehninger, Principles of Biochemistry, 1982, p471). Redox,Oxidation Reduction
D010544 Peroxidases Ovoperoxidase
D010782 Photolysis Chemical bond cleavage reactions resulting from absorption of radiant energy. Photodegradation
D011487 Protein Conformation The characteristic 3-dimensional shape of a protein, including the secondary, supersecondary (motifs), tertiary (domains) and quaternary structure of the peptide chain. PROTEIN STRUCTURE, QUATERNARY describes the conformation assumed by multimeric proteins (aggregates of more than one polypeptide chain). Conformation, Protein,Conformations, Protein,Protein Conformations
D002942 Circular Dichroism A change from planar to elliptic polarization when an initially plane-polarized light wave traverses an optically active medium.

D006418 Heme The color-furnishing portion of hemoglobin. It is found free in tissues and as the prosthetic group in many hemeproteins. Ferroprotoporphyrin,Protoheme,Haem,Heme b,Protoheme IX
D006735 Horseradish Peroxidase An enzyme isolated from horseradish which is able to act as an antigen. It is frequently used as a histochemical tracer for light and electron microscopy. Its antigenicity has permitted its use as a combined antigen and marker in experimental immunology.
