The picosecond evolution of the tertiary conformation of myoglobin (Mb) after photodissociation of MbCO was investigated at room temperature by probing band III, a weak iron-porphyrin charge-transfer transition near 13,110 cm-1 (763 nm) that is sensitive to the out-of-plane displacement of the iron. Upon photolysis, the iron moves out of the plane of the porphyrin, causing a blue-shift of band III and a concomitant change in the protein conformation. The dynamics for this functionally important motion are highly nonexponential, in agreement with recent molecular dynamics simulations [Kuczera, K., Lambry, J.-C., Martin, J.-L. & Karplus, M. (1993) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 90, 5805-5807]. The conformational change likely affects the height of the barrier to ligand rebinding and may explain nonexponential NO rebinding.
通过探测Ⅲ带,在室温下研究了肌红蛋白(Mb)与一氧化碳(MbCO)光解离后三级构象的皮秒级演化。Ⅲ带是位于13110 cm-1(763 nm)附近的一个弱铁卟啉电荷转移跃迁,对铁的平面外位移敏感。光解时,铁移出卟啉平面,导致Ⅲ带蓝移并伴随蛋白质构象变化。这种功能上重要运动的动力学是高度非指数性的,这与最近的分子动力学模拟结果一致[库泽拉,K.,兰布里,J.-C.,马丁,J.-L.和卡尔普斯,M.(1993年)《美国国家科学院院刊》90,5805 - 5807]。构象变化可能影响配体重新结合的势垒高度,并可能解释非指数性的一氧化氮重新结合。
