Abstract
Cytochromes P450 bind and cleave dioxygen to generate a potent intermediate compound I, capable of hydroxylating inert hydrocarbon substrates. Cytochrome P450 119, a bacterial cytochrome P450 that serves as a good model system for the study of the intermediate states in the P450 catalytic cycle. CYP119 is found in high temperature and sulfur rich environments. Though the natural substrate and redox partner are still unknown, a potential application of such thermophilic P450s is utilizing them as biocatalysts in biotechnological industry; e.g., the synthesis of organic compounds otherwise requiring hostile environments like extremes of pH or temperature. In the present work the oxygenated complex of this enzyme bound to lauric acid, a surrogate substrate known to have a good binding affinity, was studied by a combination of cryoradiolysis and resonance Raman spectroscopy, to trap and characterize active site structures of the key fleeting enzymatic intermediates, including the peroxo and hydroperoxo species.

Abstract
Regulation of the oxygen affinity of human adult hemoglobin (Hb A) at high pH, known as the alkaline Bohr effect, is essential for its physiological function. In this study, structural mechanisms of the alkaline Bohr effect and pH-dependent O2 affinity changes were investigated via 1H nuclear magnetic resonance and visible and UV resonance Raman spectra of mutant Hbs, Hb M Iwate (αH87Y) and Hb M Boston (αH58Y). It was found that even though the binding of O2 to the α subunits is forbidden in the mutant Hbs, the O2 affinity was higher at alkaline pH than at neutral pH, and concomitantly, the Fe-His stretching frequency of the β subunits was shifted to higher values. Thus, it was confirmed for the β subunits that the stronger the Fe-His bond, the higher the O2 affinity. It was found in this study that the quaternary structure of α(Fe3+)β(Fe2+-CO) of the mutant Hb is closer to T than to the ordinary R at neutral pH. The retained Aspβ94-Hisβ146 hydrogen bond makes the extent of proton release smaller upon ligand binding from Hisβ146, known as one of residues contributing to the alkaline Bohr effect. For these T structures, the Aspα94-Trpβ37 hydrogen bond in the hinge region and the Tyrα42-Aspβ99 hydrogen bond in the switch region of the α1-β2 interface are maintained but elongated at alkaline pH. Thus, a decrease in tension in the Fe-His bond of the β subunits at alkaline pH causes a substantial increase in the change in global structure upon binding of CO to the β subunit.

Abstract
Native human adult hemoglobin (Hb A) has mostly normal orientation of heme, whereas recombinant Hb A (rHb A) expressed in E. coli contains both normal and reversed orientations of heme. Hb A with the normal heme exhibits positive circular dichroism (CD) bands at both the Soret and 260-nm regions, while rHb A with the reversed heme shows a negative Soret and decreased 260-nm CD bands. In order to examine involvement of the proximal histidine (His F8) of either α or β subunits in determining the heme orientation, we prepared two cavity mutant Hbs, rHb(αH87G) and rHb(βH92G), with substitution of glycine for His F8 in the presence of imidazole. CD spectra of both cavity mutant Hbs did not show a negative Soret band, but instead exhibited positive bands with strong intensity at the both Soret and 260-nm regions, suggesting that the reversed heme scarcely exists in the cavity mutant Hbs. We confirmed by (1) H NMR and resonance Raman (RR) spectroscopies that the cavity mutant Hbs have mainly the normal heme orientation in both the mutated and native subunits. These results indicate that the heme Fe-His F8 linkage in both α and β subunits influences the heme orientation, and that the heme orientation of one type of subunit is related to the heme orientation of the complementary subunits to be the same. The present study showed that CD and RR spectroscopies also provided powerful tools for the examination of the heme rotational disorder of Hb A, in addition to the usual (1) H NMR technique.

Abstract
Resonance Raman spectra are reported for substrate-free and camphor-bound cytochrome P450cam and its isotopically labeled analogues that have been reconstituted with protoheme derivatives that bear -CD(3) groups at the 1, 3, 5, and 8-positions (d12-protoheme) or deuterated methine carbons (d4-protoheme). In agreement with previous studies of this and similar enzymes, substrate binding induces changes in the high frequency and low frequency spectral regions, with the most dramatic effect in the low frequency region being activation of a new mode near 367 cm(-1). This substrate-activated mode had been previously assigned as a second "propionate bending" mode (Chen et al., Biochemistry, 2004, 43, 1798-1808), arising in addition to the single propionate bending mode observed for the substrate-free form at 380 cm(-1). In this work, this newly activated mode is observed to shift by 8 cm(-1) to lower frequency in the d12-protoheme reconstituted enzyme (i.e., the same shift as that observed for the higher frequency "propionate bending" mode) and is therefore consistent with the suggested assignment. However, the newly acquired data for the d4-protoheme substituted analogue also support an earlier alternate suggestion (Deng et al., Biochemistry, 1999, 38, 13699-13706) that substrate binding activates several heme out-of-plane modes, one of which (gamma(6)) is accidentally degenerate with the 367 cm(-1) propionate bending mode. Finally, the study of the enzyme reconstituted with the protoheme-d4, which shifts the macrocycle nu(10) mode, has now allowed a definitive identification of the vinyl C=C stretching modes.

Abstract
Heme proteins that have been reconstituted with certain hemins may contain substantial fractions of a minor component in which the orientation of the heme in the folded pocket differs from the major ("native") conformation by a 180 degrees rotation about the alpha-gamma meso axis. In fact, this minor component has also been shown to exist in some native proteins, including several mammalian globins. While resonance Raman spectroscopy has emerged as a powerful probe of active site structure of heme proteins, no systematic study has yet been undertaken to elucidate the specific spectral changes associated with this disorder. In the present work, combined analyses of the temporal behavior of both NMR and RR data sets have been completed to permit the extraction of a unique RR spectrum for the disoriented form, documenting rather dramatic changes associated with this rotational disorder. In addition, the use of protohemes bearing selectively deuterated peripheral methyl groups has permitted the association of the observed modes with specific fragments of the heme residing in the reversed orientation. The studies conducted here clearly illustrate the exquisite sensitivity of low frequency heme deformation modes to altered protein-heme interactions.

Abstract
The wavelength of Raman-scattered light depends on the molecular composition of the substance. This is the first attempt to acquire Raman spectra of a mouse eyeball removed from a living mouse, in which the eyeball was preserved using the "in vivo cryotechnique" followed by freeze-drying. Eyeballs were cryofixed using a rapid freezing cryotechnique, and then sliced in the cryostat machine. The slices were sandwiched between glass slides, freeze-dried, and analyzed with confocal Raman microscopy. Important areas including various eyeball tissue layers were selected using bright-field microscopy, and then the Raman spectra were obtained at 240 locations. Four typical patterns of Raman spectra were electronically mapped on the specimen images obtained by the bright-field microscopy. Tissue organization was confirmed by embedding the same eyeball slice used for Raman spectra into epoxy resin and the thick sections were prepared with the inverted capsule method. Each Raman spectral pattern represents a different histological layer in the eyeball which was mapped by comparing the images of toluidine blue staining and Raman mapping with different colors. In the choroid and pigment cell layer, the Raman spectrum had two peaks, corresponding to melanin. Some of the peaks of the Raman spectra obtained from the blood vessels in sclera and the photoreceptor layer were similar to those obtained from the purified hemoglobin and rhodopsin proteins, respectively. Our experimental protocol can distinguish different tissue components with Raman microscopy; therefore, this method can be very useful for examining the distribution of a biological structures and/or chemical components in rapidly frozen freeze-dried tissue.

Abstract
In an attempt to gain further insight into the nature of the low frequency vibrational modes of hemoglobin and its isolated subunits, a comprehensive study of several different isotopically labeled analogues has been undertaken and is reported herein. Specifically, the resonance Raman spectra, between 200 and 500 cm(-1), are reported for the deoxy and ligated (CO and O2) forms of the isolated alpha and beta subunits containing the natural abundance or various deuterated analogues of protoheme. The deuterated protoheme analogues studied include the 1,3,5,8-C2H3-protoheme (d12- protoheme), the 1,3-C2H3-protoheme (1,3-d6-protoheme), the 5,8-C2H3-protoheme (5,8-d6-protoheme), and the meso-C2H4-protoheme (d4-protoheme). The entire set of acquired spectra has been analyzed using a deconvolution procedure to help correlate the shifted modes with their counterparts in the spectra of the native forms. Interestingly, modes previously associated with so-called vinyl bending modes or propionate deformation modes are shown to be quite sensitive to deuteration of the peripheral methyl groups of the macrocycle, shifting by up to 12-15 cm(-1), revealing their complex nature. Of special interest is the fact that shifts observed for the 1,3-d6- and 5,8-d6-protoheme analogues confirm the fact that certain modes are associated with a given portion of the macrocycle; i.e., only certain modes shift upon deuteration of the 1 and 3 methyl groups, while others shift upon deuteration of the 5 and 8 methyl groups. Compared with the spectra previously reported for the corresponding myoglobin derivatives, the data reported here reveal the appearance of several additional features that imply splitting of modes associated with the propionate groups or that are indicative of greater distortion of the heme prosthetic groups.

Abstract
A range of conformationally distinct functional states within the T quaternary state of hemoglobin are accessed and probed using a combination of mutagenesis and sol-gel encapsulation that greatly slow or eliminate the T --> R transition. Visible and UV resonance Raman spectroscopy are used to probe the proximal strain at the heme and the status of the alpha(1)beta(2) interface, respectively, whereas CO geminate and bimolecular recombination traces in conjunction with MEM (maximum entropy method) analysis of kinetic populations are used to identify functionally distinct T-state populations. The mutants used in this study are Hb(Nbeta102A) and the alpha99-alpha99 cross-linked derivative of Hb(Wbeta37E). The former mutant, which binds oxygen noncooperatively with very low affinity, is used to access low-affinity ligated T-state conformations, whereas the latter mutant is used to access the high-affinity end of the distribution of T-state conformations. A pattern emerges within the T state in which ligand reactivity increases as both the proximal strain and the alpha(1)beta(2) interface interactions are progressively lessened after ligand binding to the deoxy T-state species. The ligation and effector-dependent interplay between the heme environment and the stability of the Trp beta37 cluster in the hinge region of the alpha(1)beta(2) interface appears to determine the distribution of the ligated T-state species generated upon ligand binding. A qualitative model is presented, suggesting that different T quaternary structures modulate the stability of different alphabeta dimer conformations within the tetramer.

Abstract
In this work, we corrected the resonance Raman (RR) results presented earlier for deoxy mesoheme IX-reconstituted hemoglobin (mesoHb) alpha and beta subunits implied that mesohemes in these subunits undergo substantial structural changes upon formation of a hemoglobin tetramer (Biochemistry 29 (1990) 5087). We show that these data were probably due to the improper handling of the deoxy mesoheme subunit preparation. Additionally, we discuss the RR spectra of deoxy, oxy, and CO species of mesoheme IX-reconstituted myoglobin (mesoMb) and alpha and beta deoxy meso hemoglobin subunits, including their analogues with deuterium-substituted mesoheme IX in all methyl groups (d(12)). Based on the obtained data, we propose a complete RR band assignment for all of the investigated molecules. The most pronounced changes are observed for the gamma(7) mode (out-of-plane movement of methane carbon atoms) associated with the interaction of the ethyl groups with the globin. We also show that in mesoheme IX-reconstituted proteins, the O(2) molecule binds stronger than in the case of native species. This is manifested by the up-shift of nu(Fe-O(2)).

Abstract
The allosteric regulator BAY-41-2272 converts the CO adduct of soluble guanylyl cyclase (CO-sGC) enzyme from a low- to high-output form, with respect to production of cGMP. Resonance Raman (RR) and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopic techniques are used to show that the CO-sGC exists as major and minor conformers, both having nu(Fe-CO) and nu(C-O) modes characteristic of 6-coordinate species. It is further shown that addition of BAY-41-2272 to the CO adduct induces the transition of some fraction of the initial CO-heme adducts into two new CO-heme complexes, the fractional conversion being dependent on the temperature. One new complex displays vibrational modes characteristic of pentacoordinated CO-adduct, and its formation is not affected by temperature. The second complex, although slightly different from the original CO-adducts, is hexacoordinated, and its formation is facilitated by temperature. The production of substantial amounts of the 5-coordinate CO adduct upon addition of BAY-41-2272, reveals the fact that several out-of-plane heme deformation modes are simultaneously activated, an observation similar to that realized upon NO activation. While the precise nature of these modes will require elucidation by isotopic labeling experiments, by analogy with earlier studies of other heme proteins, several bands associated with modes attributable to peripheral substituent deformations and methine carbon movements are implicated. The documented formation of two new forms upon addition of Bay-41-2272 (a 5-coordinate and a new 6-coordinate form) is discussed with respect to the implications for enzyme activation.

Resonance Raman spectra are reported for a series of systematically deuterated analogues of myoglobin in its deoxy state as well as for its CO and O(2) adducts. Specifically, the myoglobin samples studied are those that have been reconstituted with deuterated protoheme analogues. These include the methine deuterated, protoheme-d4; analogue bearing C(2)H(3) groups at the 1, 3, 5, and 8 positions, protoheme-d12; the species bearing C(2)H(3) groups at the 1 and 3 positions only, 1,3-protoheme-d6; and the species bearing C(2)H(3) groups at the 5 and 8 positions only, 5,8-protoheme-d6. While the results are generally consistent with previously reported data for synthetic metalloporphyrin models and previous studies of labeled heme proteins, the high-quality low-frequency RR data reported here reveal several important aspects of these low-frequency modes. Of special interest is the fact that, using the two d6-protoheme analogues, it is shown that certain modes are apparently localized on particular pyrrole rings, while others are localized on different rings; i.e., several of these low-frequency modes are localized on one side of the heme.
