Popis: | The presence of a water ligand on heme-iron in ferric hemoproteins can, in suitable cases, be detected by observing 17O superhyperfine interaction in the EPR spectra of solutions in H217O. Although no significant superhyperfine interaction is detectable in the EPR spectra of horseradish peroxidase itself, benzo-hydroxamic acid, which forms an outersphere complex with the enzyme analogous to an enzyme-peracid transition state, stabilizes an innersphere water ligand on the heme, as indicated by a ∼1.3 gauss Fe3+-17O superhyperfine interaction in the EPR signal at g = 2, in the presence of 34–39% H217O at 8°K. These results indicate that the predominantly pentacoordinate Fe3+ ion in horseradish peroxidase is accessible to the solvent and that it acquires a water or hydroxyl ligand in the presence of benzohydroxamic acid. |
