Proton nuclear magnetic resonance characterization of the oxidized intermediates of cytochrome c peroxidase. 1981

J D Satterlee, and J E Erman

Oxidation of cytochrome c peroxidase with hydrogen peroxide to form the initial oxidized intermediate, cytochrome c peroxidase compound I, drastically alters the proton hyperfine nmr spectrum. In contrast to studies of horseradish peroxidase, where the spectrum of horseradish peroxidase compound I is similar to that of the native protein, cytochrome c peroxidase compound I exhibits only broad resonances near 17 and 30 ppm from 2,2-dimethyl-2-silapentane-5-sulfonate. No unique resonances attributable to cytochrome c peroxidase compound II could be identified. These results define the molecular conditions for which resolved hyperfine resonances of the iron(IV) states of heme proteins may be observed when the data presented here are compared with the data from horseradish peroxidase. Oxidation of cytochrome c peroxidase while it is complexed to ferricytochrome c reveals that the heme resonances of cytochrome c are not influenced by the oxidation state of cytochrome c peroxidase.

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

D011485	Protein Binding	The process in which substances, either endogenous or exogenous, bind to proteins, peptides, enzymes, protein precursors, or allied compounds. Specific protein-binding measures are often used as assays in diagnostic assessments.	Plasma Protein Binding Capacity,Binding, Protein

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.
