The understanding of structure-function relationship of enzymes requires detailed information of their three-dimensional structure. Protein structure determination by X-ray and NMR methods, the two most frequently used experimental procedures, are often difficult and time-consuming. Thus computer modeling of protein structures has become an increasingly active and attractive option for obtaining...
Theoretical studies of the electronic structure and spectra of models for the ferric resting state and Compound I intermediates of horseradish peroxidase (HRP-I) and catalase (CAT-I) have been performed using the INDO-RHF/CI method. The goals of these studies were twofold: i) to determine whether the axial ligand of HRP is best described as imidazole or imidazolate, and ii) to address the long-standing...
The electronic structure of deoxyheme units and the electric field gradient at the iron nucleus are calculated as a function of the displacement of the iron from the heme plane. The high spin state has a calculated minimum energy with the iron out of plane at a distance similar to that observed for metMb. This could correspond to a relaxed form of deoxyHb, while the greater displacement observed in...
