Popis: Measurements of the magnetic susceptibility of native lipoxygenase-1 yielded a value for the effective Bohr magneton number, n eff , equal to 5.2 which is characteristic for iron in high-spin Fe(II) state. Upon addition of native lipoxygenase-1 to a butanol-1/D 2 O solution a differential line-broadening of the proton resonances in the NMR spectrum of butanol-1 was observed due to relaxation enhancement from interaction between the paramagnetic iron and the protons. This finding excludes the possibility that the iron in native lipoxygenase-1 is in the low-spin Fe(II) state. These results are consistent with the proposed mechanism of the catalytic function of the iron in lipoxygenase (De Groot, J.J.M.C., Veldink, G.A., Vliegenthart, J.F.G., Boldingh, J., Wever, R. and Van Gelder, B.F. (1975) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 377, 71–79).
