The globins from sperm whale and from Aplysia limacina myoglobins were reconstituted by addition of stoichiometric ferric protohaem and the Soret c.d. was followed as a function of time. For both reconstituted proteins, the Soret c.d. changes with time, reflecting haem reorientation inside its pocket, as previously described [Aojula, Wilson & Drake (1986) Biochem. J. 237, 613-616] for sperm whale myoglobin. The time course of the c.d. transition is found to be approx. 10 times faster in Aplysia than in sperm whale myoglobin, a result which is in agreement with the known structural and physicochemical properties of the two myoglobins; furthermore, these results confirm that c.d. and n.m.r. data on haem orientation in haemoproteins reflect the same molecular phenomenon.
通过添加化学计量的高铁原卟啉来重构抹香鲸和海兔肌红蛋白的珠蛋白,并跟踪索雷特圆二色性随时间的变化。对于这两种重构蛋白,索雷特圆二色性随时间变化,反映了血红素在其口袋内的重新取向,如先前针对抹香鲸肌红蛋白所描述的那样[Aojula、Wilson和Drake(1986年),《生物化学杂志》237卷,613 - 616页]。发现圆二色性转变的时间进程在海兔中比在抹香鲸肌红蛋白中快约10倍,这一结果与两种肌红蛋白已知的结构和物理化学性质一致;此外,这些结果证实了关于血红素蛋白中血红素取向的圆二色性和核磁共振数据反映了相同的分子现象。
