The dissociation of carboxymyoglobin (MbCO) and oxymyoglobin (MbO2) induced by 530-nm picosecond excitation in the beta band or the 355-nm delta band has been measured by monitoring the absorbance changes at 420 and 440 nm corresponding to ligand-bound and ligand-detached species, respectively. We find that MbO2 and MbCO dissociate with very similar rates, which do not reflect the 30-fold difference between the quantum yields of the two reactions. Kinetic data suggest that a short-lived intermediate is formed that is responsible for the low quantum efficiency of the MbO2 dissociation.
通过监测分别对应于配体结合态和配体解离态的420和440 nm处的吸光度变化,测量了在β波段530 nm皮秒激发或δ波段355 nm激发下羧基肌红蛋白(MbCO)和氧合肌红蛋白(MbO₂)的解离情况。我们发现,MbO₂和MbCO的解离速率非常相似,这与两个反应的量子产率之间30倍的差异不符。动力学数据表明,形成了一种短寿命中间体,它导致了MbO₂解离的低量子效率。
