Popis: The myoglobin and hemoglobin species containing magnesium deuteroporphyrin have been prepared and studied by electronic, circular dichroism and optical rotatory dispersion spectroscopy. The results are compared with those obtained for corresponding magnesium protoporphyrin and magnesium mesoporphyrin complexes. In all cases the magnesium-apomyoglobin species show additional band splittings. These may arise directly from differences in the protein environment or indirectly through water coordination to magnesium which is facilitated by features of the myoglobin heme pocket but inhibited in the hemoglobin complexes. The availability of results for three different porphyrins enables a red shift of spectral bands, observed in particular for MgPP-Mb ** , to be specifically associated with the presence of side-chain vinyl groups.
