Abstract
Mimochrome VI (MC-VI) is a synthetic heme peptide containing a helix-heme-helix sandwich motif designed to reproduce the catalytic activity of heme oxidases. The thermodynamics of Fe(III) to Fe(II) reduction and the kinetics of the electron-transfer process for MC-VI immobilized through hydrophobic interactions on a gold electrode coated with a nonpolar SAM of decane-1-thiol have been determined through cyclic voltammetry. Immobilization slightly affects the reduction potential of MC-VI, which under these conditions electrocatalytically turns over molecular oxygen. This work sets the premise for the exploitation of totally synthetic mimochrome-modified electrode surfaces for clinical and pharmaceutical biosensing.

Abstract
The electrochemical properties of cytochrome c (cyt c) immobilized on multilayer nanozeolite-modified electrodes have been examined in aqueous and nonaqueous solutions. Layers of Linde type-L zeolites were assembled on indium tin oxide (ITO) glass electrodes followed by the adsorption of cyt c, primarily via electrostatic interactions, onto modified ITO electrodes. The heme protein displayed a quasi-reversible response in aqueous solution with a redox potential of +324 mV (vs NHE), and the surface coverage (Gamma*) increased linearly for the first four layers and then gave a nearly constant value of 200 pmol cm(-2). On immersion of the modified electrodes in 95% (v/v) nonaqueous solutions, the redox potential decreased significantly, a decrease that originated from changes in both the enthalpy and entropy of reduction. On reimmersion of the modified electrode in buffer, the faradic response immediately returned to its original value. These results demonstrate that nanozeolites are potential stable supports for redox proteins and enzymes.

Abstract
We have used imidazole (Im) and N-methylimidazole (MeIm) as probes of the heme-binding cavity of membrane-bound cytochrome (cyt) c(1) in detergent-solubilized bc(1) complex from Rhodobacter sphaeroides. Imidazole binding to cyt c(1) substantially lowers the midpoint potential of the heme and fully inhibits bc(1) complex activity. Temperature dependences showed that binding of Im (K(d) approximately 330 microM, 25 degrees C, pH 8) is enthalpically driven (DeltaH(0) = -56 kJ/mol, DeltaS(0) = -121 J/mol/K), whereas binding of MeIm is 30 times weaker (K(d) approximately 9.3 mM) and is entropically driven (DeltaH(0) = 47 kJ/mol, DeltaS(0)(o) = 197 J/mol/K). The large enthalpic and entropic contributions suggest significant structural and solvation changes in cyt c(1) triggered by ligand binding. Comparison of these results with those obtained previously for soluble cyts c and c(2) suggested that Im binding to cyt c(1) is assisted by formation of hydrogen bonds within the heme cleft. This was strongly supported by molecular dynamics simulations of Im adducts of cyts c, c(2), and c(1), which showed hydrogen bonds formed between the N(delta)H of Im and the cyt c(1) protein, or with a water molecule sequestered with the ligand in the heme cleft.

Abstract
Peroxidases are heme enzymes found in bacteria, fungi, plants and animals, which exploit the reduction of hydrogen peroxide to catalyze a number of oxidative reactions, involving a wide variety of organic and inorganic substrates. The catalytic cycle of heme peroxidases is based on three consecutive redox steps, involving two high-valent intermediates (Compound I and Compound II), which perform the oxidation of the substrates. Therefore, the thermodynamics and the kinetics of the catalytic cycle are influenced by the reduction potentials of three redox couples, namely Compound I/Fe3+, Compound I/Compound II and Compound II/Fe3+. In particular, the oxidative power of heme peroxidases is controlled by the (high) reduction potential of the latter two couples. Moreover, the rapid H2O2-mediated two-electron oxidation of peroxidases to Compound I requires a stable ferric state in physiological conditions, which depends on the reduction potential of the Fe3+/Fe2+ couple. The understanding of the molecular determinants of the reduction potentials of the above redox couples is crucial for the comprehension of the molecular determinants of the catalytic properties of heme peroxidases. This review provides an overview of the data available on the redox properties of Fe3+/Fe2+, Compound I/Fe3+, Compound I/Compound II and Compound II/Fe3+ couples in native and mutated heme peroxidases. The influence of the electron donor properties of the axial histidine and of the polarity of the heme environment is analyzed and the correlation between the redox properties of the heme group with the catalytic activity of this important class of metallo-enzymes is discussed.

Abstract
The electron transport chain of mitochondria is a major source of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which play a critical role in augmenting the Ca(2+)-induced mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT). Mitochondrial release of superoxide anions (O(2)(-)) from the intermembrane space (IMS) to the cytosol is mediated by voltage dependent anion channels (VDAC) in the outer membrane. Here, we examined whether closure of VDAC increases intramitochondrial oxidative stress by blocking efflux of O(2)(-) from the IMS and sensitizing to the Ca(2+)-induced MPT. Treatment of isolated rat liver mitochondria with 5microM G3139, an 18-mer phosphorothioate blocker of VDAC, accelerated onset of the MPT by 6.8+/-1.4min within a range of 100-250microM Ca(2+). G3139-mediated acceleration of the MPT was reversed by 20microM butylated hydroxytoluene, a water soluble antioxidant. Pre-treatment of mitochondria with G3139 also increased accumulation of O(2)(-) in mitochondria, as monitored by dihydroethidium fluorescence, and permeabilization of the mitochondrial outer membrane with digitonin reversed the effect of G3139 on O(2)(-) accumulation. Mathematical modeling of generation and turnover of O(2)(-) within the IMS indicated that closure of VDAC produces a 1.55-fold increase in the steady-state level of mitochondrial O(2)(-). In conclusion, closure of VDAC appears to impede the efflux of superoxide anions from the IMS, resulting in an increased steady-state level of O(2)(-), which causes an internal oxidative stress and sensitizes mitochondria toward the Ca(2+)-induced MPT.

Abstract
Eosinophil peroxidase (EPO) and lactoperoxidase (LPO) are important constituents of the innate immune system of mammals. These heme enzymes belong to the peroxidase-cyclooxygenase superfamily and catalyze the oxidation of thiocyanate, bromide and nitrite to hypothiocyanate, hypobromous acid and nitrogen dioxide that are toxic for invading pathogens. In order to gain a better understanding of the observed differences in substrate specificity and oxidation capacity in relation to heme and protein structure, a comprehensive spectro-electrochemical investigation was performed. The reduction potential (E degrees ') of the Fe(III)/Fe(II) couple of EPO and LPO was determined to be -126mV and -176mV, respectively (25 degrees C, pH 7.0). Variable temperature experiments show that EPO and LPO feature different reduction thermodynamics. In particular, reduction of ferric EPO is enthalpically and entropically disfavored, whereas in LPO the entropic term, which selectively stabilizes the oxidized form, prevails on the enthalpic term that favors reduction of Fe(III). The data are discussed with respect to the architecture of the heme cavity and the substrate channel. Comparison with published data for myeloperoxidase demonstrates the effect of heme to protein linkages and heme distortion on the redox chemistry of mammalian peroxidases and in consequence on the enzymatic properties of these physiologically important oxidoreductases.

Abstract
Multihaem cytochromes that could form protein “nanowires” were identified in the Geobacter sulfurreducens genome, and represent a new type of multihaem cytochrome. The sequences of these proteins, two with 12 haems (GSU1996, GSU0592) and one with 27 haems (GSU2210), suggest that they are formed with domains homologous to the trihaem cytochrome c7. Although all three haems have bis-His co-ordination in cytochromes c7, in each domain of the above polymers, the haem equivalent to haem IV has His-Met co-ordination. We previously determined the structure and measured the macroscopic redox potential of one representative domain (domain C) of a dodecahaem cytochrome (GSU1996). In the present study, the microscopic redox properties of the individual haem groups of domain C were determined using NMR and UV–visible spectroscopies. The reduction potentials of the haems for the fully reduced and protonated protein are different from each other (haem I, −106 mV; haem III, −136 mV; and haem IV, −125 mV) and are strongly modulated by redox interactions. This result is rather surprising since the His-Met co-ordinated haem IV does not have the highest potential as was expected. The polypeptide environment of each haem group and the strong haem pairwise redox interactions must play a dominant role in controlling the individual haem potentials. The strong redox interactions between the haems extend the range of their operating potentials at physiological pH (haem I, −71 mV, haem III, −146 mV and haem IV, −110 mV). Such a modulation in haem potentials is likely to have a functional significance in the metabolism of G. sulfurreducens.

Abstract
The enzyme cytochrome c peroxidase from Pseudomonas aeruginosa and its catalytic mechanism were investigated using protein film voltammetry. Monolayers of the diheme bacterial enzyme were immobilized on both pyrolytic graphite edge and alkanethiol-modified Au electrodes. The redox couple associated with the low potential heme could be detected on both electrode surfaces at a reduction potential of -234 mV vs SHE. The midpoint potential displays a distinct pH dependence at acidic pH values, indicative of proton-coupled electron transfer. The nonturnover signal of the LP heme can be transformed into sigmoidal waves upon the addition of substrate. The midpoint potentials of the turnover signals were used to calculate Michaelis-Menten kinetics with a K(m) = 25 microM. Catalysis was inhibited with addition of cyanide (K(i) = 50 microM). These kinetic parameters are in good agreement with previously reported solution-based studies, indicating that the activity of the enzyme is unaffected by the immobilization on the electrode surface. The reduction potential of the catalytic wave clearly shows that the rate-limiting species during electrocatalysis differs from those previously reported for peroxidases, indicating that PFV may be used in the future to distinguish the requirement for reductive activation in bacterial cytochrome c peroxidases.

Abstract
The free energy change (Delta G degrees ) for the unfolding of immobilized yeast iso-1-cytochrome c (Cyt c) at nanoassemblies was measured by surface plasmon resonance (SPR) spectroscopy. Data show that SPR is sensitive to protein conformational changes, and protein solid interface exerts a major influence on bound protein stability. First, Cyt c was self-assembled on the Au film via the single thiol of Cys-102. Then, crystalline sheets of layered alpha-Zr(O(3)POH)(2).H(2)O (alpha-ZrP) or Zr(O(3)PCH(2)CH(2)COOH)(2).xH(2)O (alpha-ZrCEP) were adsorbed to construct alpha-ZrP/Cyt c/Au or alpha-ZrCEP/Cyt c/Au nanoassemblies. The construction of each layer was monitored by SPR, in real time, and the assemblies were further characterized by atomic force microscopy and electrochemical studies. Thermodynamic stability of the protein nanoassembly was assessed by urea-induced unfolding. Surprisingly, unfolding is reversible in all cases studied here. Stability of Cyt c in alpha-ZrP/Cyt c/Au increased by approximately 4.3 kJ/mol when compared to the unfolding free energy of Cyt c/Au assembly. In contrast, the protein stability decreased by approximately 1.5 kJ/mol for alpha-ZrCEP/Cyt c/Au layer. Thus, OH-decorated surfaces stabilized the protein whereas COOH-decorated surfaces destabilized it. These data quantitate the role of specific functional groups of the inorganic layers in controlling bound protein stability.

Abstract
Functional composite films made from lecithin micelles and the two heme proteins of met-myoglobin (Mb) and met-hemoglobin (Hb) are reported in this paper. Proteins in functional composite films have much higher rates of electron transfer than proteins in solutions on carbon paste (CP) electrodes. Cyclic voltammograms (CVs) all give a pair of well-defined and quasi-reversible peaks, corresponding to the heme FeIII/FeII redox couple of proteins. Differential pulse voltammograms (DPVs) also show the same formal potential (E0') values of proteins under identical conditions. Electronic and vibrational spectra indicate that proteins in these films are not denatured, but their conformational differences from native states may exist. The E0' value for Mb in the lecithin film is found to be pH dependent. The Mb lecithin film can catalytically reduce O2 and H2O2, and its analytical application to H2O2 determination is established.

Abstract
The reaction enthalpy and entropy for the one-electron reduction of the ferric heme in horse heart and sperm whale aquometmyoglobins (Mb) have been determined exploiting a spectroelectrochemical approach. Also investigated were the T67R, T67K, T67R/S92D and T67R/S92D Mb-H variants (the latter containing a protoheme-L: -histidine methyl ester) of sperm whale Mb, which feature peroxidase-like activity. The reduction potential (E degrees ') in all species consists of an enthalpic term which disfavors Fe(3+) reduction and a larger entropic contribution which instead selectively stabilizes the reduced form. This behavior differs from that of the heme redox enzymes and electron transport proteins investigated so far. The reduction thermodynamics in the series of sperm whale Mb variants show an almost perfect enthalpy-entropy compensation, indicating that the mutation-induced changes in DeltaH(o')(rc) and DeltaS(o')(rc) are dominated by reduction-induced solvent reorganization effects. The modest changes in E degrees ' originate from the enthalpic effects of the electrostatic interactions of the heme with the engineered charged residues. The small influence that the mutations exert on the reduction potential of myoglobin suggests that the increased peroxidase activity of the variants is not related to changes in the redox reactivity of the heme iron, but are likely related to a more favored substrate orientation within the distal heme cavity.

Abstract
Cytochrome c (552) (Cyt-c (552)) and its redox partner ba ( 3 )-oxidase from Thermus thermophilus possess structural differences compared with Horse heart cytochrome c (cyt-c)/cytochrome c oxidase (CcO) system, where the recognition between partners and the electron transfer (ET) process is initiated via electrostatic interactions. We demonstrated in a previous study by surface-enhanced resonance Raman (SERR) spectroscopy that roughened silver electrodes coated with uncharged mixed self-assembled monolayers HS-(CH(2))( n )-CH(3)/HS-(CH(2))( n + 1)-OH 50/50, n = 5, 10 or 15, was a good model to mimic the Cyt-c (552) redox partner. All the adsorbed molecules are well oriented on such biomimetic electrodes and transfer one electron during the redox process. The present work focuses on the kinetic part of the heterogeneous ET process of Cyt-c (552) adsorbed onto electrodes coated with such mixed SAMs of different alkyl chain length. For that purpose, two complementary methods were combined. Firstly cyclic voltammetry shows that the ET between the adsorbed Cyt-c (552) and the biomimetic electrode is direct and reversible. Furthermore, it allows the estimation of both the density surface coverage of adsorbed Cyt-c (552) and the kinetic constants values. Secondly, time-resolved SERR (TR-SERR) spectroscopy showed that the ET process occurs without conformational change of the Cyt-c (552) heme group and allows the determination of kinetic constants. Results show that the kinetic constant values obtained by TR-SERR spectroscopy could be compared to those obtained from cyclic voltammetry. They are estimated at 200, 150 and 40 s(-1) for the ET of Cyt-c (552) adsorbed onto electrodes coated with mixed SAMs HS-(CH(2))( n )-CH(3)/HS-(CH(2))( n + 1)-OH 50/50, n = 5, 10 or 15, respectively.

Abstract
In this work, the effect of liposomes consisting of tetraoleyl cardiolipin and dioleyl phosphatidylcholine (1 : 1, mol/mol) on the rate of three more reactions of Cyt c heme with H2O2 was studied: (i) Cyt c (Fe2+) oxidation to Cyt c (Fe3+), (ii) Fe...S(Met80) bond breaking, and (iii) heme porphyrin ring decomposition. It was revealed that the rates of all those reactions increased greatly in the presence of liposomes containing cardiolipin and not of those consisting of only phosphatidylcholine, and approximately to the same extent as peroxidase activity. These data suggest that cardiolipin activates specifically Cyt c peroxidase activity not only because it promotes Fe...S(Met80) bond breaking but also facilitates H2O2 penetration to the reaction center.

Abstract
Cytochrome c oxidase is a transmembrane proton pump that builds an electrochemical gradient using chemical energy from the reduction of O(2). Ionization states of all residues were calculated with Multi-Conformation Continuum Electrostatics (MCCE) in seven anaerobic oxidase redox states ranging from fully oxidized to fully reduced. One long-standing problem is how proton uptake is coupled to the reduction of the active site binuclear center (BNC). The BNC has two cofactors: heme a(3) and Cu(B). If the protein needs to maintain electroneutrality, then 2 protons will be bound when the BNC is reduced by 2 electrons in the reductive half of the reaction cycle. The effective pK(a)s of ionizable residues around the BNC are evaluated in Rhodobacter sphaeroides cytochrome c oxidase. At pH 7, only a hydroxide coordinated to Cu(B) shifts its pK(a) from below 7 to above 7 and so picks up a proton when heme a(3) and Cu(B) are reduced. Glu I-286, Tyr I-288, His I-334, and a second hydroxide on heme a(3) all have pK(a)s above 7 in all redox states, although they have only 1.6-3.5 DeltapK units energy cost for deprotonation. Thus, at equilibrium, they are protonated and cannot serve as proton acceptors. The propionic acids near the BNC are deprotonated with pK(a)s well below 7. They are well stabilized in their anionic state and do not bind a proton upon BNC reduction. This suggests that electroneutrality in the BNC is not maintained during the anaerobic reduction. Proton uptake on reduction of Cu(A), heme a, heme a(3), and Cu(B) shows approximately 2.5 protons bound per 4 electrons, in agreement with prior experiments. One proton is bound by a hydroxyl group in the BNC and the rest to groups far from the BNC. The electrochemical midpoint potential (E(m)) of heme a is calculated in the fully oxidized protein and with 1 or 2 electrons in the BNC. The E(m) of heme a shifts down when the BNC is reduced, which agrees with prior experiments. If the BNC reduction is electroneutral, then the heme a E(m) is independent of the BNC redox state.

Abstract
The structure of cytochrome c552 (Cyt-c552) from Thermus thermophilus shows many differences to other c-type cytochromes. The rich lysine domain close to the heme does not exist in this cytochrome, allowing us to postulate that the interaction with its redox partner must be different to the cytochrome c/cytochrome c oxidase interaction. We report a study of Cyt-c552 adsorbed on self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of functionalized alkanethiols used to mimic the chemical properties of its redox partner (ba3-oxydase). Hydrophilic (-COOH), polar (-OH), hydrophobic (-CH3), and mixed (-OH/-CH3) SAMs grafted on roughened silver electrodes were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Surface enhanced resonance Raman spectroscopy (SERRS) was employed to determine the structure and the redox properties (E degrees and number of transferred electron) of the heme of Cyt-c552 adsorbed on roughened silver electrodes coated by the different SAMs. The surface that most closely models the environment of the ba3-oxidase is a mixed SAM formed by 50% polar [Ag-(CH2)5-CH2OH] and 50% hydrophobic [Ag-(CH2)5-CH3] alkanethiols. Only the native form B1(6cLS) of Cyt-c552 is detected by SERRS when the protein is adsorbed on such a surface that promotes a protein orientation favorable for the electron transfer (number of transferred electron = 1). We shall discuss the differences and similarities of the electron-transfer mechanism of Cyt-c552 compared to cyt-c.

Abstract
Structural changes accompanying the change in the redox state of microperoxidase-8 (MP8), the heme-octapeptide obtained from cytochrome c, and its complexes with (methyl)imidazole ligands were studied by electrochemically induced Fourier transform IR (FTIR) difference spectroscopy. To correlate with confidence IR modes with a specific electronic state of the iron, we used UV-vis and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy to define precisely the heme spin state in the samples at the millimolar concentration of MP8 required for FTIR difference spectroscopy. We identified four intense redox-sensitive IR heme markers, nu38 at 1,569 cm(-1) (ox)/1,554 cm(-1) (red), nu42 at 1,264 cm(-1) (ox)/1,242 cm(-1) (red), nu43 at 1,146 cm(-1) (ox), and nu44 at 1,124-1,128 cm(-1) (ox). The intensity of nu42 and nu43 was clearly enhanced for low-spin imidazole-MP8 complexes, while that of nu44 increased for high-spin MP8. These modes can thus be used as IR markers of the iron spin state in MP8 and related c-type cytochromes. Moreover, one redox-sensitive band at 1,044 cm(-1) (red) is attributed to an IR marker specific of c-type hemes, possibly the delta(CbH3)(2,4) heme mode. Other redox-sensitive IR bands were assigned to the MP8 peptide backbone and to the fifth and sixth axial heme ligands. The distinct IR frequencies for imidazole (1,075 cm(-1)) and histidine (1,105 cm(-1)) side chains in the imidazole-MP8 complex allowed us to provide the first direct determination of their pKa at pH 9 and 12, respectively.

Abstract
A protein structure should provide the information needed to understand its observed properties. Significant progress has been made in developing accurate calculations of acid/base and oxidation/reduction reactions in proteins. Current methods and their strengths and weaknesses are discussed. The distribution and calculated ionization states in a survey of proteins is described, showing that a significant minority of acidic and basic residues are buried in the protein and that most of these remain ionized. The electrochemistry of heme and quinones are considered. Proton transfers in bacteriorhodopsin and coupled electron and proton transfers in photosynthetic reaction centers, 5-coordinate heme binding proteins and cytochrome c oxidase are highlighted as systems where calculations have provided insight into the reaction mechanism.

Abstract
The thermodynamics of the one-electron reduction of the ferric heme in free and cyanide-bound Arthromyces ramosus peroxidase (ARP), a class II plant peroxidase, were determined through spectro-electrochemical experiments. The data were compared with those for class III horseradish peroxidase C (HRP) and its cyanide adduct, and were interpreted in terms of ligand binding features, electrostatic effects and solvent accessible surface area of the heme group and of catalytically relevant residues in the heme distal site. The E(o)' values for free and cyanide-bound ARP (-0.183 and -0.390 V, respectively, at 25 degrees C and pH 7) are higher than those for HRP and HRP-CN. ARP features an enthalpic stabilization of the ferrous state and a remarkably negative reduction entropy, which are both unprecedented for heme peroxidases. Once the compensatory contributions of solvent reorganization are partitioned from the measured reduction enthalpy, the resulting protein-based deltaH(o)'(rc(int)) value for ARP turns out to be less positive than that for HRP by +10 kJ mol(-1). The smaller stabilization of the oxidized heme in ARP most probably results from the less pronounced anionic character of the proximal histidine, and the decreased polarity in the heme distal site as compared with HRP, as indicated by the X-ray structures. The surprisingly negative deltaS(o)'(rc) value for ARP is the result of peculiar reduction-induced solvent reorganization effects.

Abstract
Heme proteins can perform a variety of electrochemical functions. While natural heme proteins carry out particular functions selected by biological evolution, artificial heme proteins, in principle, can be tailored to suit specified technological applications. Here we describe initial characterization of the electrochemical properties of a de novo heme protein, S824C. Protein S824C is a four-helix bundle derived from a library of sequences that was designed by binary patterning of polar and nonpolar amino acids. Protein S824C was immobilized on a gold electrode and the formal potential of heme-protein complex was studied as a function of pH and ionic strength. The binding of exogenous N-donor ligands to heme/S824C was monitored by measuring shifts in the potential that occurred upon addition of various concentrations of imidazole or pyridine derivatives. The response of heme/S824C to these ligands was then compared to the response of isolated heme (without protein) to the same ligands. The observed shifts in potential depended on both the concentration and the structure of the added ligand. Small changes in structure of the ligand (e.g. pyridine versus 2-amino pyridine) produced significant shifts in the potential of the heme-protein. The observed shifts correlate to the differential binding of the N-donor molecules to the oxidized and reduced states of the heme. Further, it was observed that the electrochemical response of the buried heme in heme/S824C differed significantly from that of isolated heme. These studies demonstrate that the structure of the de novo protein modulates the binding of N-donor ligands to heme.

Abstract
The effect of tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (Tris) on the catalytic activity and microstructure of heme undecapeptide, microperoxidase-11 (MP-11) in the aqueous solution was investigated using cyclic voltammetry, circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy, UV-vis absorption spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). It was found for the first time that Tris would inhibit the catalytic activity and electrochemical reaction of MP-11 at the glassy carbon (GC) electrode. This is mainly due to the fact that Tris would induce more alpha-helix and beta-turn conformations from the random coil conformation of MP-11, cause the asymmetric split-up in the Soret band region of MP-11, increase the non-planarity of the heme of MP-11, and change the electron densities of N, O and S atoms of MP-11. Meanwhile, It was found that the electrochemical reaction of MP-11 with Tris at GC electrode is diffusion-controlled, and the diffusion coefficient of MP-11 and the rate constant for the heterogeneous electron transfer of MP-11 in the presence of Tris are decreased by 19% and 16%, respectively. Further experiments showed that the electrocatalytic current of MP-11 on the reduction of H2O2 is decreased by about 25% after the addition of Tris to the MP-11 solution.

Abstract
We previously showed that one-electron transfer from tetrahydropterins to iron porphyrins is a very general reaction, with formation of an intermediate cation radical similar to the one detected in NO synthase. As a model reaction, the rates of reduction of eight haemoproteins by diMePH4 (6,7-dimethyltetrahydropterin) have been studied and correlated with their one-electron reduction potentials, E(m) (Fe(III)/Fe(II)). On the basis of kinetic data analyses, a bimolecular collisional mechanism is proposed for the electron transfer from diMePH4 to ferrihaemoproteins. Haemoproteins with reduction potentials below -160 mV were shown not to be reduced by diMePH4 to the corresponding ferrohaemoproteins. For haemoproteins with reduction potentials more positive than -160 mV, such as chloroperoxidase, cytochrome b5, methaemoglobin and cytochrome c, there was a good correlation between the second-order reduction rate constant and the redox potential, E(m) (Fe(III)/Fe(II)): [formula: see text]. The rate of reduction of cytochrome c by BH4 [(6R)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrobiopterin] was determined to be similar to that of the reduction of cytochrome c by diMePH4. These results confirm the role of tetrahydropterins as one-electron donors to Fe(III) porphyrins.

Abstract
The enthalpic and entropic changes accompanying the reduction reaction of the six-coordinate cyanide adducts of cytochrome c, microperoxidase-11 and a few plant peroxidases were measured electrochemically. Once the compensating changes in reduction enthalpy and entropy due to solvent reorganization effects are factorized out, it is found that cyanide binding stabilizes enthalpically the ferriheme following the order: cyochrome c > peroxidase > microperoxidase-11. The effect is inversely correlated to the solvent accessibility of the heme. Comparison of the reduction thermodynamics for the cyanide adducts of cytochrome c and plant peroxidases with those for microperoxidase-11 and myoglobin, respectively, yielded an estimate of the consequences of protein encapsulation and of the anionic character of the proximal histidine on the reduction potential of the heme-cyanide group. Insertion of the heme-CN group into the folded peptide chain of cyt c induces an enthalpy-based decrease in E degrees ' of approximately 100 mV, consistent with the lower net charge of the oxidized as compared to the reduced iron center, whereas a full imidazolate character of the proximal histidine stabilizes enthalpically the ferriheme by approximately 400 mV. The latter value should be best considered as an upper limit since it also includes some solvation effects arising from the nature of the protein systems being compared.

Abstract
The effects of site-specific mutation of the axial cysteine (C357M) to a methionine residue in cytochrome P450cam on the enzyme's coordination geometry and redox potential have been investigated. The absorption spectra of the haem centre in the C357M mutant of the enzyme showed close similarity to those of cytochrome c both in the oxidised and reduced forms. A well-defined absorption peak at 695 nm, similar to that seen in the case of cytochrome c and characteristic of methionine ligation to the ferric haem, was observed. The results indicated that the haem of C357M cytochrome P450cam is possibly axially coordinated to a methionine and a histidine, analogously to cytochrome c. The circular dichroism spectra in the visible and the far-UV regions suggested that the tertiary structure of the haem cavity in the C357M mutant cytochrome P450cam was distinctly different from that in the wild-type enzyme or in cytochrome c, although the secondary structure of the mutant remained identical to that of the wild-type cytochrome P450cam. Comparison of the natures of the CD spectra in the 400 nm and 695 nm regions of the C357M mutant of cytochrome P450cam with those of horse cytochrome c suggested (R) chirality at the sulfur atom of the iron-bound methionine residue in the mutant. The redox potential of the haem centre, estimated by redox titration of the C357M mutant, was found to be +260 mV, which is much higher than that in the wild-type enzyme and similar to the redox potential of cytochrome c. This supported the concept that axial ligation of the haem plays the major role in tuning the redox potential of the haem centre in haem proteins.

Abstract
The electrochemistry and electrocatalysis of a number of heme proteins entrapped in agarose hydrogel films in the room-temperature ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([bmim][PF(6)]) have been investigated. UV-vis and FTIR spectroscopy show that the heme proteins retain their native structure in agarose film. The uniform distribution of hemoglobin in agarose-dimethylformamide film was demonstrated by atomic force microscopy. Cyclic voltammetry shows that direct electron transfer between the heme proteins and glassy carbon electrode is quasi-reversible in [bmim][PF(6)]. The redox potentials for hemoglobin, myoglobin, horseradish peroxidase, cytochrome c, and catalase were found to be more negative than those in aqueous solution. The charge-transfer coefficient and the apparent electron-transfer rate constant for these heme proteins in [bmim][PF(6)] were calculated from the peak-to-peak separation as a function of scan rate. The heme proteins catalyze the electroreduction of trichloroacetic acid and tert-butyl hydroperoxide in [bmim][PF(6)]. The kinetic parameter I(max) (maximum current at saturation concentration of substrate) and the apparent K(m) (Michaelis-Menten constant) for the electrocatalytic reactions were evaluated.

Abstract
In this study, we investigated redox thermodynamics of myoglobin as well as the ionic (phosphate ions) and ligation (imidazole) effects via a dynamic electrochemical approach. We employed a previously established system that features nonmediated, direct electrochemistry of myoglobin and myoglobin in an immobilized state (i.e., diffusionless electrochemistry). Thermodynamics parameters were obtained by measuring redox potential (E degrees ') of myoglobin at varied temperature (T), in the presence and in the absence of specific ions or axial ligands. As a step further, we evaluated contributions from allosteric effect and axial iron ligation by partitioning E degrees ' changes into entropic and enthalpic terms. Compensation phenomena between the entropic and enthalpic changes were observed in all these cases. On the basis of these studies, we also correlated these phenomena to possible structural variations.

Abstract
We report an approach for immobilizing iso-1-cytochrome c from Saccharomyces cerevisiae on oxygen exposing surfaces derivatized with SH-terminated silanes. The SH moieties from silanes have been brought to react with the partially buried Cys102, forming an intermolecular disulfide bond which anchored covalently cytochrome c to the surface. The presence of a single cysteine residue on the protein surface imparted a well-defined orientation to the molecular edifice. Molecular constructs obtained with native cytochrome c and with a cysteine-depleted mutant (C102T) have been investigated by means of scanning force microscopy under liquid, which was performed to assay the quality of the molecular carpet, showing that the native protein formed a robust monolayer at the surface, whereas only a negligible amount of physisorbed molecules were detected in the case of a mutant. UV-vis absorption spectroscopy was performed to confirm that immobilization takes place via the Cys102 residue. Linear sweep voltammetric measurements showed retention of the redox activity of the covalently immobilized cytochrome c, confirming the viability of the proposed immobilization method for obtaining monolayers of redox active molecules.

Abstract
Microperoxidases were initially isolated as peptide fragments containing covalently bound heme and are derived from naturally occurring c-type cytochromes. They are not only used as model compounds but also have potential applications as biosensors, electron carriers, photoreceptors, microzymes, and drugs. In a systematic attempt to define the minimal requirements for covalent attachment of hemes to c-type cytochromes, we have succeeded to produce artificial microperoxidases with peptide sequences that do not occur naturally and can be manipulated. The in vivo production of these microperoxidases requires targeting of the peptide to the bacterial periplasm, proteolytic processing of the signal peptide, and covalent attachment of heme to the signature motif CXXCH by the cytochrome c maturation proteins CcmA-H. The peptides that bind heme carry a C-terminal histidine tag, presumably to stabilize the heme peptide. We present a heme cassette that is the basis for the de novo design of functional hemoproteins.

Abstract
The reduction thermodynamics of cytochrome c (cytc), determined electrochemically, are found to be sensitive to solvent H/D isotope effects. Reduction of cytochrome c is enthalpically more favored in D(2)O with respect to H(2)O, but is disfavored on entropic grounds. This is consistent with a reduction-induced strengthening of the H-bonding network within the hydration sphere of the protein. No significant changes in E degrees ' occur, since the above variations are compensative. As a main result, this work shows that the oxidation-state-dependent differences in protein solvation, including electrostatics and solvent reorganization effects, play an important role in determining the individual enthalpy and entropy changes of the reduction process. It is conceivable that this is a common thermodynamic feature of all electron transport metalloproteins. The isotope effects turn out to be sensitive to buffer anions which specifically bind to cytc. Evidence is gained that the solvation thermodynamics of both redox forms of cytc are sensibly affected by strongly hydrated anions.

Abstract
To investigate the nitrite reducing activity of microperoxidases (mps) in the presence of methyl viologen and dithionite, the fragments C14-K22 (mp9), V11-L32 (mp22), and G1-M65 (mp65) containing heme were prepared by enzymatic hydrolysis of commercially equine heart cytochrome c (Cyt c), in which His is axially coordinated to heme iron, and acts as its fifth ligand. The nitrite reducing activity of mps was measured under anaerobic condition, and the nitrite reducing activity of mps increased with the cutting of the peptide chain. The activity of the shortest nonapeptide mp9 was approximately 120-fold that of Cyt c (104 amino acid residues) and 3.2-fold that of nitrite reductase (EC 1.7.7.1) from Escherichia coli. In the nitrite reduction by mp, nitrite was completely reduced to ammonia. We presumed that ferrous mps reduced NO2- to NO by donating one electron, the NO was completely reduced to NH4+ under anaerobic condition via ferrous-NO complexes as a reaction intermediate using visible spectra and ESR spectra, and this overall reaction was a 6-electron and 8-proton reduction. Sepharose-immobilized mp9 had a nitrite reducing activity similar to that of mp9 in solution, and the resin retained the activity after five uses and even 1-year storage. The mp will be able to use as a substitute for nitrite reductase.

Abstract
Using nanometer thick tunneling barriers with specifically attached cytochrome c, the electron-transfer rate constant was studied as a function of the SAM composition (alkane versus terthiophene), the omega-terminating group type (pyridine, imidazole, nitrile), and the solution viscosity. At large electrode-reactant separations, the pyridine terminated alkanethiols exhibit an exponential decline of the rate constant with increasing electron-transfer distance. At short separations, a plateau behavior, analogous to systems involving -COOH terminal groups to which cytochrome c can be attached electrostatically, is observed. The dependence of the rate constant in the plateau region on system properties is investigated. The rate constant is insensitive to the mode of attachment to the surface but displays a significant viscosity dependence, change with spacer composition (alkane versus terthiophene), and nature of the solvent (H(2)O versus D(2)O). Based on these findings and others, the conclusion is drawn that the charge-transfer rate constant at short distance is determined by polarization relaxation processes in the structure, rather than the electron tunneling probability or large-amplitude conformational rearrangement (gating). The transition in reaction mechanism with distance reflects a gradual transition between the tunneling and frictional mechanisms. This conclusion is consistent with data from a number of other sources as well.
