Abstract
Activation and reduction of O2 and H2O2 by synthetic and biosynthetic iron porphyrin models have proved to be a versatile platform for evaluating second-sphere effects deemed important in naturally occurring heme active sites. Advances in synthetic techniques have made it possible to install different functional groups around the porphyrin ligand, recreating artificial analogues of the proximal and distal sites encountered in the heme proteins. Using judicious choices of these substituents, several of the elegant second-sphere effects that are proposed to be important in the reactivity of key heme proteins have been evaluated under controlled environments, adding fundamental insight into the roles played by these weak interactions in nature. This review presents a detailed description of these efforts and how these have not only demystified these second-sphere effects but also how the knowledge obtained resulted in functional mimics of these heme enzymes.

Abstract
Heme-copper oxidases (HCO), nitric oxide reductases (NOR), and sulfite reductases (SiR) catalyze the multi-electron and multi-proton reductions of O2, NO, and SO32-, respectively. Each of these reactions is important to drive cellular energy production through respiratory metabolism and HCO, NOR, and SiR evolved to contain heteronuclear active sites containing heme/copper, heme/nonheme iron, and heme-[4Fe-4S] centers, respectively. The complexity of the structures and reactions of these native enzymes, along with their large sizes and/or membrane associations, make it challenging to fully understand the crucial structural features responsible for the catalytic properties of these active sites. In this review, we summarize progress that has been made to better understand these heteronuclear metalloenzymes at the molecular level though study of the native enzymes along with insights gained from biomimetic models comprising either small molecules or proteins. Further understanding the reaction selectivity of these enzymes is discussed through comparisons of their similar heteronuclear active sites, and we offer outlook for further investigations.

Abstract
Myoglobin based biosynthetic models of perturbed cytochrome c oxidase (CcO) active site are reconstituted, in situ, on electrodes where glutamate residues are systematically introduced in the distal site of the heme/Cu active site instead of a tyrosine residue. These biochemical electrodes show efficient 4e-/4H+ reduction with turnover rates and numbers more than 107 M-1 s-1 and 104, respectively. The H2O/D2O isotope effects of these series of crystallographically characterized mutants bearing zero, one, and two glutamate residues near the heme Cu active site of these perturbed CcO mimics are 16, 4, and 2, respectively. In situ SERRS-RDE data indicate complete change in the rate-determining step as proton transfer residues are introduced near the active site. The high selectivity for 4e-/4H+ O2 reduction and systematic variation of KSIE demonstrate the dominant role of proton transfer residues on the isotope effect on rate and rate-determining step of O2 reduction.

Abstract
Copper (Cu) is one of the most commonly detected heavy metals in livestock manure pollution. Protaetia brevitarsis Lewis larvae are widely used in the decomposition of livestock manure. During decomposition, heavy metals in livestock manure can accumulate in P. brevitarsis larvae and affect normal growth and reproduction. Therefore, this research focused on characterizing the toxic effects of Cu to P. brevitarsis Lewis larvae. Larvae were exposed to Cu concentrations of 0, 100, 200, 400, and 800 mg kg-1 in edible fungi residue for 7, 14, 21, and 28 days. Results showed that the soluble protein content was markedly increased in 200 and 400 mg kg-1 treatment groups on day 28. Compared to the control group, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione S-transferase (GST) activities were significantly stimulated on day 7 and then decreased as exposure length was increased (e.g., after 14, 21, and 28 days). Catalase (CAT) activity was also significantly increased after 7 days of exposure. Malondialdehyde (MDA) levels were markedly increased in the 100, 200, and 400 mg kg-1 treatment groups on day 7. However, as time and Cu concentration were increased, MDA levels gradually decreased. These results indicate that Cu has biochemical effects on P. brevitarsis Lewis larvae, and both time and dose affect this biochemical response.

Abstract
Heteronuclear metalloenzymes catalyze some of the most fundamentally interesting and practically useful reactions in nature. However, the presence of two or more metal ions in close proximity in these enzymes makes them more difficult to prepare and study than homonuclear metalloenzymes. To meet these challenges, heteronuclear metal centers have been designed into small and stable proteins with rigid scaffolds to understand how these heteronuclear centers are constructed and the mechanism of their function. This chapter describes methods for designing heterobinuclear metal centers in a protein scaffold by giving specific examples of a few heme-nonheme bimetallic centers engineered in myoglobin and cytochrome c peroxidase. We provide step-by-step procedures on how to choose the protein scaffold, design a heterobinuclear metal center in the protein scaffold computationally, incorporate metal ions into the protein, and characterize the resulting metalloproteins, both structurally and functionally. Finally, we discuss how an initial design can be further improved by rationally tuning its secondary coordination sphere, electron/proton transfer rates, and the substrate affinity.

Abstract
Progesterone receptor membrane component 1 (PGRMC1) is a 25 kDa protein with an N-terminal transmembrane domain and a putative C-terminal cytochrome b5 domain. Heme-binding activity of PGRMC1 has been shown in various homologues of PGRMC1. Although the general definition of PGRMC1 is as a progesterone receptor, progesterone-binding activity has not been directly demonstrated in any of the purified PGRMC1 proteins fully loaded with heme. Here, we show that the human homologue of PGRMC1 (hPGRMC1) binds heme in a five-coordinate (5C) high-spin (HS) configuration, with an axial tyrosinate ligand, likely Y95. The negatively charged tyrosinate ligand leads to a relatively low redox potential of approximately -331 mV. The Y95C or Y95F mutation dramatically reduces the ability of the protein to bind heme, supporting the assignment of the axial heme ligand to Y95. On the other hand, the Y95H mutation retains ∼90% of the heme-binding activity. The heme in Y95H is also 5CHS, but it has a hydroxide axial ligand, conceivably stabilized by the engineered-in H95 via an H-bond; CO binding to the distal ligand-binding site leads to an exchange of the axial ligand to a histidine, possibly H95. We show that progesterone binds to hPGRMC1 and introduces spectral changes that manifest conformational changes to the heme. Our data offer the first direct evidence supporting progesterone-binding activity of PGRMC1.

Abstract
Cytochrome c oxidase (CcO) catalyzes the four electron reduction of molecular oxygen to water while avoiding the formation of toxic peroxide; a quality that is of high relevance for the development of oxygen-reducing catalysts. Resonance Raman spectroscopy has been used since many years as a technique to identify electron transfer pathways in cytochrome c oxidase and to identify the key intermediates in the catalytic cycle. This information can be compared to artificial systems such as modified heme-copper enzymes, molecular heme-copper catalysts or CcO/electrode complexes in order to shed light into the reaction mechanism of these non-natural systems. Understanding the structural commonalities and differences of CcO with its non-natural analogs is of great value for designing efficient oxygen-reducing catalysts. In this review therefore Raman spectroscopic measurements on artificial heme-copper enzymes and model complexes are summarized and compared to the natural enzyme cytochrome c oxidase. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: Vibrational spectroscopies and bioenergetic systems.

Abstract
Metal ion binding to a previously reported variant of horse heart myoglobin (Lys45Glu/Lys63Glu) with a metal ion binding site on the surface of the protein that is adjacent to the haem binding site has been shown to influence ligand binding and electrochemical properties of the protein. For example, the K(d) (μM) for binding of azide to this variant decreases from 277 ± 9 to 32 ± 3 following addition of a saturating concentration of Mn(2+) (the value for the wild-type protein under the same conditions is 26 ± 1). Similarly, the midpoint reduction potential E(m) (mV vs. standard hydrogen electrode) increases from 9 to 40 in the presence of a saturating concentration of Mn(2+) (the value for the wild-type protein under the same conditions is 45 ± 2). These results demonstrate the potential value of engineered metal ion binding sites as a means of regulating the functional properties of even simple haem proteins.

Abstract
We have investigated CO migration and binding in CuBMb, a copper-binding myoglobin double mutant (L29H-F43H), by using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and flash photolysis over a wide temperature range. This mutant was originally engineered with the aim to mimic the catalytic site of heme-copper oxidases. Comparison of the wild-type protein Mb and CuBMb shows that the copper ion in the distal pocket gives rise to significant effects on ligand binding to the heme iron. In Mb and copper-free CuBMb, primary and secondary ligand docking sites are accessible upon photodissociation. In copper-bound CuBMb, ligands do not migrate to secondary docking sites but rather coordinate to the copper ion. Ligands entering the heme pocket from the outside normally would not be captured efficiently by the tight distal pocket housing the two additional large imidazole rings. Binding at the Cu ion, however, ensures efficient trapping in CuBMb. The Cu ion also restricts the motions of the His64 side chain, which is the entry/exit door for ligand movement into the active site, and this restriction results in enhanced geminate and slow bimolecular CO rebinding. These results support current mechanistic views of ligand binding in hemoglobins and the role of the CuB in the active of heme-copper oxidases. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: Oxygen Binding and Sensing Proteins.

Abstract
Naturally occurring hemin cofactor has been functionalized to introduce two terminal alkyne groups. This modified hemin has been successfully covalently attached to mixed self-assembled monolayers of alkanethiols and azide-terminated alkanethiols on gold electrodes using a Cu(I)-catalyzed 1,3-cycloaddition reaction. However these hemin-modified electrodes could not be used to reconstitute apomyoglobin on gold electrodes owing to the hydrophobicity of the alkane thiol self-assembled monolayer. Modification of existing techniques allowed covalent attachment of alkyne-terminated electroactive species onto mixed monolayers of azidothiols and carboxylatoalkanethiols on electrodes using the same Cu(I)-catalyzed 1,3-cycloaddition reaction. Apomyoglobin could be reconstituted using the hemin covalently attached to these hydrophilic electrodes. The electrochemical data, UV-vis absorption data, surface-enhanced resonance Raman spectroscopy data, and atomic force microscopy data indicate the presence of these modified myoglobin proteins on these electrodes. The direct attachment of the heme cofactor of these modified myoglobin proteins to the electrode allows fast electron transfer to the heme center from the electrode and affords efficient O(2)-reducing bioelectrodes under physiological conditions.

Abstract
Denitrifying NO reductases are evolutionarily related to the superfamily of heme--copper terminal oxidases. These transmembrane protein complexes utilize a heme-nonheme diiron center to reduce two NO molecules to N(2)O. To understand this reaction, the diiron site has been modeled using sperm whale myoglobin as a scaffold and mutating distal residues Leu-29 and Phe-43 to histidines and Val-68 to a glutamic acid to create a nonheme Fe(B) site. The impact of incorporation of metal ions at this engineered site on the reaction of the ferrous heme with one NO was examined by UV-vis absorption, EPR, resonance Raman, and FTIR spectroscopies. UV--vis absorption and resonance Raman spectra demonstrate that the first NO molecule binds to the ferrous heme, but while the apoproteins and Cu(I)- or Zn(II)-loaded proteins show characteristic EPR signatures of S = 1/2 six-coordinate heme {FeNO}(7) species that can be observed at liquid nitrogen temperature, the Fe(II)-loaded proteins are EPR silent at ≥30 K. Vibrational modes from the heme [Fe-N-O] unit are identified in the RR and FTIR spectra using (15)NO and (15)N(18)O. The apo and Cu(I)-bound proteins exhibit ν(FeNO) and ν(NO) that are only marginally distinct from those reported for native myoglobin. However, binding of Fe(II) at the Fe(B) site shifts the heme ν(FeNO) by 17 cm(-1) and the ν(NO) by -50 cm(-1) to 1549 cm(-1). This low ν(NO) is without precedent for a six-coordinate heme {FeNO}(7) species and suggests that the NO group adopts a strong nitroxyl character stabilized by electrostatic interaction with the nearby nonheme Fe(II). Detection of a similarly low ν(NO) in the Zn(II)-loaded protein supports this interpretation.
