Abstract
Heme-copper oxidases (HCOs) are terminal enzymes on the mitochondrial or bacterial respiratory electron transport chain, which utilize a unique heterobinuclear active site to catalyze the 4H+/4e- reduction of dioxygen to water. This process involves a proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) from a tyrosine (phenolic) residue and additional redox events coupled to transmembrane proton pumping and ATP synthesis. Given that HCOs are large, complex, membrane-bound enzymes, bioinspired synthetic model chemistry is a promising approach to better understand heme-Cu-mediated dioxygen reduction, including the details of proton and electron movements. This review encompasses important aspects of heme-O2 and copper-O2 (bio)chemistries as they relate to the design and interpretation of small molecule model systems and provides perspectives from fundamental coordination chemistry, which can be applied to the understanding of HCO activity. We focus on recent advancements from studies of heme-Cu models, evaluating experimental and computational results, which highlight important fundamental structure-function relationships. Finally, we provide an outlook for future potential contributions from synthetic inorganic chemistry and discuss their implications with relevance to biological O2-reduction.

Abstract
Prostacyclin synthase (PGIS) is a member of the cytochrome P450 family in which the oxyferrous complexes are generally labile in the absence of substrate. At 4 degrees C, the on-rate constants and off-rate constants of oxygen binding to PGIS in solution are 5.9 x 10(5) m(-1).s(-1) and 29 s(-1), respectively. The oxyferrous complex decays to a ferric form at a rate of 12 s(-1). We report, for the first time, a stable oxyferrous complex of PGIS in a transparent sol-gel monolith. The encapsulated ferric PGIS retained the same spectroscopic features as in solution. The binding capabilities of the encapsulated PGIS were demonstrated by spectral changes upon the addition of O-based, N-based and C-based ligands. The peroxidase activity of PGIS in sol-gel was three orders of magnitude slower than that in solution owing to the restricted diffusion of the substrate in sol-gel. The oxyferrous complex in sol-gel was observable for 24 h at room temperature and displayed a much red-shifted Soret peak. Stabilization of the ferrous-carbon monoxide complex in sol-gel was observed as an enrichment of the 450-nm species over the 420-nm species. This result suggests that the sol-gel method may be applied to other P450s to generate a stable intermediate in the di-oxygen activation.

Abstract
In an effort to generate more stable reaction intermediates involved in substrate oxidation by nitric-oxide synthases (NOSs), we have cloned, expressed, and characterized a thermostable NOS homolog from the thermophilic bacterium Geobacillus stearothermophilus (gsNOS). As expected, gsNOS forms nitric oxide (NO) from l-arginine via the stable intermediate N-hydroxy l-arginine (NOHA). The addition of oxygen to ferrous gsNOS results in long-lived heme-oxy complexes in the presence (Soret peak 427 nm) and absence (Soret peak 413 nm) of substrates l-arginine and NOHA. The substrate-induced red shift correlates with hydrogen bonding between substrate and heme-bound oxygen resulting in conversion to a ferric heme-superoxy species. In single turnover experiments with NOHA, NO forms only in the presence of H(4)B. The crystal structure of gsNOS at 3.2 AA of resolution reveals great similarity to other known bacterial NOS structures, with the exception of differences in the distal heme pocket, close to the oxygen binding site. In particular, a Lys-356 (Bacillus subtilis NOS) to Arg-365 (gsNOS) substitution alters the conformation of a conserved Asp carboxylate, resulting in movement of an Ile residue toward the heme. Thus, a more constrained heme pocket may slow ligand dissociation and increase the lifetime of heme-bound oxygen to seconds at 4 degrees C. Similarly, the ferric-heme NO complex is also stabilized in gsNOS. The slow kinetics of gsNOS offer promise for studying downstream intermediates involved in substrate oxidation.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 enzymes promote a number of oxidative biotransformations including the hydroxylation of unactivated hydrocarbons. Whereas the long-standing consensus view of the P450 mechanism implicates a high-valent iron-oxene species as the predominant oxidant in the radicalar hydrogen abstraction/oxygen rebound pathway, more recent studies on isotope partitioning, product rearrangements with 'radical clocks', and the impact of threonine mutagenesis in P450s on hydroxylation rates support the notion of the nucleophilic and/or electrophilic (hydro)peroxo-iron intermediate(s) to be operative in P450 catalysis in addition to the electrophilic oxenoid-iron entity; this may contribute to the remarkable versatility of P450s in substrate modification. Precedent to this mechanistic concept is given by studies with natural and synthetic P450 biomimics. While the concept of an alternative electrophilic oxidant necessitates C-H hydroxylation to be brought about by a cationic insertion process, recent calculations employing density functional theory favour a 'two-state reactivity' scenario, implicating the usual ferryl-dependent oxygen rebound pathway to proceed via two spin states (doublet and quartet); state crossing is thought to be associated with either an insertion or a radicalar mechanism. Hence, challenge to future strategies should be to fold the disparate and sometimes contradictory data into a harmonized overall picture.

Abstract
Myeloperoxidase (MPO), a hemoprotein that uses H(2)O(2) as the electron acceptor in the catalysis of oxidative reactions, is implicated as a participant in inflammatory injury and cardiovascular diseases. Mechanisms for turning off this enzyme once released, preventing unwanted tissue injury, are poorly understood. We recently demonstrated that MPO heme reduction causes collapse of the heme pocket, as monitored by significant reductions in the rates of diatomic ligand binding to the heme iron. Using spectral and rapid kinetic measurements, we now demonstrate that molecular oxygen (O(2)) binds to ferrous MPO (MPO-Fe(II)) in a distinct and novel mechanism. Rather than occurring through a simple, reversible, one-step mechanism, as is typical for O(2) binding to other ferrous hemoproteins, the reaction involves several kinetically and spectroscopically distinguishable intermediates. Diode array spectrophotometric and stopped-flow studies reveal that the formation of the MPO-Fe(II)-O(2) complex consists of at least three elementary steps and includes at least two sequential transient intermediates. The first step involves reversible formation of a transient intermediate via an O(2)-dependent mechanism, followed by two sequential O(2)-independent steps that appear to be conformational in origin. Insights into mechanisms for inactivating MPO and the novel mode of O(2) binding to the hemoprotein may provide important clues toward understanding the catalytic action of MPO.

Abstract
Heme reduction of ferric lactoperoxidase (LPO) into its ferrous form initially leads to the accumulation of the unstable form of LPO-Fe(II), which spontaneously converts to a more stable species, the two of which can be identified by Soret peaks at 440 and 434 nm, respectively. Our data demonstrate that both LPO-Fe(II) species are capable of binding O(2) at a similar rate to generate the ferrous-dioxy complex. Its formation with respect to O(2) was first order and monophasic and with rate constants of k(on) = 3.8 x 10(4) m(-1) s(-1) and k(off) = 11.2 s(-1). The dissociation rate constant for the formation of LPO-Fe(II)-O(2) is relatively high, in contrast to hemoprotein model compounds. This high dissociation rate can be attributed to a combination of effects that include the positive trans effect of the proximal ligand, the heme pocket environment, and the geometry of the Fe-O(2) linkage. Our results have also shown that the decay of the LPO-Fe(II)-O(2) complex occurs by two sequential O(2)-independent steps. The first step involves formation of a short-lived intermediate that can be characterized by its Soret absorption peak at 416 nm and may be attributed to the weakening of the Fe(II)-O(2) linkage with a rate constant of 0.5 s(-1). The second step is spontaneous conversion of this intermediate to generate the native enzyme and presumably superoxide as end products with a rate constant of 0.03 s(-1). A comprehensive kinetic model that links LPO-Fe(II)-O(2) complex formation to the LPO catalase-like activity, combined with the classic catalytic cycle, is presented here.

Abstract
The kinetics of formation and transformation of oxygen complexes of two heme-thiolate proteins (the F393H mutant of cytochrome P450 BM3 and the oxygenase domain of endothelial nitric oxide synthase, eNOS) were studied under high pressure. For BM3, oxygen-binding characteristics (rate and activation volume) matched those measured for CO-binding. In contrast, pressure revealed a different CO- and oxygen-binding mechanism for eNOS, suggesting that it is hazardous to take CO-binding as a model for oxygen-binding. With eNOS, a ferric NO complex is formed as an intermediate in the second reaction cycle. Here we report the pressure stability of this compound. Furthermore, in the presence of 4-amino-tetrahydrobiopterin (ABH(4)), an analog to the natural second electron donor tetrahydrobiopterin (BH(4)), biphasic pressure profiles of the oxygen-binding rates were observed, both in the first and the second reaction cycles, indicative of the formation of an additional reaction intermediate. This was confirmed by experiments where ABH(4) was replaced by ABH(2), a cofactor which cannot deliver an electron. Altogether, high pressure appears to be a useful tool to characterize elementary steps in the reaction cycle of heme-thiolate proteins.

Abstract
Oxygen binding to the oxygenase domain of reduced endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) results in two distinct species differing in their Soret and visible absorbance maxima and in their capacity to exchange oxygen by CO. At 7 degrees C, heme-oxy I (with maxima at 420 and 560 nm) is formed very rapidly (k(on) approximately 2.5.10(6) m(-1).s(-1)) in the absence of substrate but in the presence of pterin cofactor. It is capable of exchanging oxygen with CO at -30 degrees C. Heme-oxy II is formed more slowly (k(on) approximately equal to 3.10(5) m(-1).s(-1)) in the presence of substrate, regardless of the presence of pterin. It is also formed in the absence of both substrate and pterin. In contrast to heme-oxy I, it cannot exchange oxygen with CO at cryogenic temperature. In the presence of arginine, heme-oxy II is characterized by absorbance maxima near 432, 564, and 597 nm. When arginine is replaced by N-hydroxyarginine, and also in the absence of both substrate and pterin, its absorbance maxima are blue-shifted to 428, 560, and 593 nm. Heme-oxy I seems to resemble the ferrous dioxygen complex observed in many hemoproteins, including cytochrome P450. Heme-oxy II, which is the oxygen complex competent for product formation, appears to represent a distinct conformation in which the electronic configuration is essentially locked in the ferric superoxide complex.

Abstract
Using UV-Vis, resonance Raman, and EPR spectroscopy we have studied the properties of the oxygenated ferrous cytochrome P450 from Sulfolobus solfataricus, (CYP119). The recently determined crystal structure of CYP119 is compared with other available structures of P450s, and detailed structural and spectroscopic analyses are reported. With several structural similarities to CYP102, such as in-plane iron position and a shorter iron-proximal ligand bond, CYP119 shows low-spin conformation preference in the ferric form and partially in the ferrous form at low temperatures. These structural features can explain the fast autoxidation of the oxyferrous complex of CYP119. Finally, we report the first UV-Vis and EPR spectra of the cryoradiolytically reduced oxygenated intermediate of CYP119. The primary reduced intermediate, a hydroperoxo-ferric complex of CYP119, undergoes a 'peroxide shunt' pathway during gradual annealing at 170-195 K and returns to the low-spin ferric form.

Abstract
The mechanisms by which nitric-oxide synthases (NOSs) bind and activate oxygen at their P450-type heme active site in order to synthesize nitric oxide from the substrate L-arginine are mostly unknown. To obtain information concerning the structure and properties of the first oxygenated intermediate of the enzymatic cycle, we have used a rapid continuous flow mixer and resonance Raman spectroscopy to generate and identify the ferrous dioxygen complex of the oxygenase domain of nNOS (Fe(2+)O(2) nNOSoxy). We detect a line at 1135 cm(-1) in the resonance Raman spectrum of the intermediate formed from 0.6 to 3.0 ms after the rapid mixing of the ferrous enzyme with oxygen that is shifted to 1068 cm(-1) with (18)O(2). This line is assigned as the O-O stretching mode (nu(O-O)) of the oxygenated complex of nNOSoxy. Rapid mixing experiments performed with nNOSoxy saturated with L-arginine or N(omega)-hydroxy-L-arginine, in the presence or absence of (6R)-5,6, 7,8-tetrahydro-L-biopterin, reveal that the nu(O-O) line is insensitive to the presence of the substrate and the pterin. The optical spectrum of this ferrous dioxygen species, with a Soret band wavelength maximum at 430 nm, confirms the identification of the previously reported oxygenated complexes generated by stopped flow techniques.

Abstract
Here we describe for the first time the formation of a complex of reduced CYP102 (cytochrome P450 BM-3) heme domain with molecular oxygen. To stabilize the oxycomplex, the experiments had to be done under argon atmosphere at cryogenic temperatures (-25 degrees C) in the presence of 50% glycerol. The spectral properties of this species were different from those of another P450-type autosuffisant enzyme, i.e., the neuronal nitric oxide synthase. On the contrary, the oxyferrous complex of CYP102 possesses spectral properties similar to those of complexes of microsomal cytochromes P450, e.g., CYP2B4.

Abstract
The reaction of reduced NO synthase (NOS) with molecular oxygen was studied at -30 degreesC. In the absence of substrate, the complex formed between ferrous NOS and O2 was sufficiently long lived for a precise spectroscopic characterization. This complex displayed similar spectral characteristics as the oxyferrous complex of cytochrome P450 (lambda max = 416.5 nm). It then decomposed to the ferric state. The oxidation of the flavin components was much slower and could be observed only at temperatures higher than -20 degreesC. In the presence of substrate (L-arginine), another, 12-nm blue-shifted, intermediate spectrum was formed. The breakdown of the latter species resulted in the production of Nomega-hydroxy-L-arginine in a stoichiometry of maximally 52% per NOS heme. This product formation took place also in the absence of the reductase domain of NOS. Both formation of the blue-shifted intermediate and of Nomega-hydroxy-L-arginine required the presence of tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4). We propose that the blue-shifted intermediate is the result of reductive activation of the oxygenated complex, and the electron is provided by BH4. These observations suggest that the reduction of the oxyferroheme complex may be the main function of BH4 in NOS catalysis.

Abstract
Nitric oxide synthases (NOS) are hemeproteins that catalyze oxidation of L-arginine to nitric oxide (NO) and citrulline. The NOS heme iron is expected to participate in oxygen activation during catalysis, but its interactions with O2 are not characterized. We utilized the heme-containing oxygenase domain of neuronal NOS (nNOSoxy) and stopped-flow methods to study formation and autooxidative decomposition of the nNOSoxy oxygenated complex at 10 degrees C. Mixing ferrous nNOSoxy with air-saturated buffer generated a transient species with absorption maxima at 427 and approximately 560 nm. This species decayed within 1 s to form ferric nNOSoxy. Its formation was first order with respect to O2, monophasic, and gave rate constants for kon = 9 x 10(5) M-1 s-1 and koff = 108 s-1 for an L-arginine- and tetrahydrobiopterin (H4B)-saturated nNOSoxy. Omission of L-arginine and/or H4B did not greatly effect O2 binding and dissociation rates. Decomposition of the oxygenated intermediate was independent of O2 concentration and was either biphasic or monophasic depending on sample conditions. L-Arginine stabilized the oxygenated intermediate (decay rate = 0.14 s-1), while H4B accelerated its decay by a factor of 70 irrespective of L-arginine. The spectral and kinetic properties of the intermediate identify it as the FeIIO2 complex of nNOSoxy. Destabilization of a metallo-oxy species by H4B is unprecedented and may be important regarding the role of this cofactor in NO synthesis.

Abstract
Chloroperoxidase was present as Compound II during the peroxidatic oxidation of ascorbic acid. Compound III (oxy-form) was formed when excess hydrogen peroxide was added to Compound II. By decreasing the temperature it was possible to measure the spectra of Compounds II and III in the Soret and visible regions. Each spectrum was found to resemble that of the corresponding form of lactoperoxidase. Under the experimental conditions, chloroperoxidase Compound III was apparently converted to Compound II in parallel with the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide and finally to the ferric enzyme.
