Abstract
Maintaining life (respiration), cell death (apoptosis), oxygen transport and immunity are main biological functions of heme containing proteins. These functions are controlled by the axial ligands and the redox status of the iron ion (oscillations between Fe2+ and Fe3+) in the heme group. This paper aims to evaluate the current state of knowledge on oxidation and oxygenation effects in heme proteins. We determined the redox status of the iron ion in whole blood (without and with anticoagulant), hemoglobin in erythrocytes, in isolated cytochrome c and cytochrome c in mitochondria of the human lung cancer cells using UV-VIS electronic absorption spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy and Raman imaging. Here we discussed the mechanism responsible for the Q electronic absorption band spectral behavior, i.e., its splitting, and its change in extinction coefficient, as well as vibrational modifications upon oxygenation and oxidation. We compared the redox status of heme in hemoglobin of human erythrocytes and cytochrome c in mitochondria of human lung cancer cells. Presented results allow simultaneous identification of oxy- and deoxy-Hb, where 1547 and 1604 cm-1 vibrations correspond to deoxygenated hemoglobin, while 1585 and 1638 cm-1 correspond to oxyhemoglobin, respectively. Our results extend knowledge of oxidation and oxygenation effects in heme proteins. We demonstrated experimentally the mechanism of electronic-vibrational coupling for the Q band splitting. Presented results extend knowledge on oxidation and oxygenation effects in heme proteins and provide evidence that both processes are strongly coupled. We showed that retinoic acid affects the redox state of heme in cytochrome c in mitochondria. The change of the redox status of cytochrome c in mitochondria from the oxidized form to the reduced form has very serious consequences in dysfunction of mitochondria resulting in inhibition of respiration, apoptosis and cytokine induction.

Abstract
The reactivity and functionality of heme proteins are to a significant extent determined by the conformation of their functional heme groups and by the interaction of axial ligands with their protein environment. This review focuses on experimental methods and theoretical concepts for elucidating symmetry lowering perturbations of the heme induced by the protein environment of the heme pocket. First, we discuss a variety of methods which can be used to probe the electric field at the heme, including spectral hole burning as well as low temperature absorption and room temperature circular dichroism spectroscopy. Second, we show how heme deformations can be described as superposition of deformations along normal coordinates, thereby using the irreducible representations of the D4h point group as a classification tool. Finally, resonance Raman spectroscopy is introduced as a tool to probe the deformations of metalloprophyrins in solution and in protein matrices by measuring and comparing intensities and depolarization properties rather than wavenumber positions.

Abstract
The oxidized state of cytochrome c is a subject of continuous interest, owing to the multitude of conformations which the protein can adopt in solution and on surfaces of artificial and cell membranes. The structural diversity corresponds to a variety of functions in electron transfer, peroxidase and apoptosis processes. In spite of numerous studies, a comprehensive analysis and comparison of native and non-native states of ferricytochrome c has thus far not been achieved. This results in part from the fact that the influence of solvent conditions (i.e., ionic strength, anion concentration, temperature dependence of pH values) on structure, function and equilibrium thermodynamics has not yet been thoroughly assessed. The current study is a first step in this direction, in that it provides the necessary experimental data to compare different non-native states adopted at high temperature and alkaline pH. To this end, we employed visible electronic circular dichroism (ECD) and absorption spectroscopy to probe structural changes of the heme environment in bovine and horse heart ferricytochrome c as a function of temperature between 278 and 363 K at different neutral and alkaline pH values. A careful selection of buffers enabled us to monitor the partial unfolding of the native state at room temperature while avoiding a change to an alkaline state at high temperatures. We found compelling evidence for the existence of a thermodynamic intermediate of the thermal unfolding/folding process, termed III h, which is structurally different from the alkaline states, IV 1 and IV 2, contrary to current belief. At neutral or slightly acidic pH, III h is populated in a temperature region between 320 and 345 K. The unfolded state of the protein becomes populated at higher temperatures. The ECD spectra of the B-bands of bovine and horse heart cytochrome c (pH 7.0) exhibit a pronounced couplet that is maintained below 343 K, before protein unfolding replaces it by a rather strong positive Cotton band. A preliminary vibronic analysis of the B-band profile reveals that the couplet reflects a B-band splitting of 350 cm (-1), which is mostly of electronic origin, due to the internal electric field in the heme cavity. Our results suggest that the conformational transition from the native state, III, into a thermally activated intermediate state, III h, does not substantially affect the internal electric field and causes only moderate rearrangements of the heme pocket, which involves changes, rather than a rupture, of the Fe (3+)-M80 linkage. In the unfolded state, as well as in the alkaline states IV and V, the band splitting is practically eliminated, but the positive Cotton effect observed for the B-band suggests that the proximal environment, encompassing H18 and the two cysteine residues 14 and 17, is most likely still intact and covalently bound to the heme chromophore. Both alkaline states IV and V were found to melt via intermediate states. Unfolded states probed at neutral and alkaline pH can be discriminated, owing to the different intensities of the Cotton bands of the respective B-band transitions. Differences between the ECD intensities of the B-bands of the different unfolded states and alkaline states most likely reflect different degrees of openness of the corresponding heme crevice.

Abstract
We measured the Soret band of deoxymyoglobin (deoxyMb), myoglobin cyanide (MbCN), and aquo-metmyoglobin (all from horse heart) with absorption and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopies. A clear non-coincidence was observed between the absorption and CD profiles of deoxyMb and MbCN, with the CD profiles red- and blueshifted with respect to the absorption band position, respectively. On the contrary, the CD and absorption profiles of aquametMb were nearly identical. The observed noncoincidence indicates a splitting of the excited B state due to heme-protein interactions. CD and absorption profiles of deoxyMb and MbCN were self-consistently analyzed by employing a perturbation approach for weak vibronic coupling as well as the relative intensities and depolarization ratios of seven bands in the respective resonance Raman spectra measured with B-band excitation. The respective B(y) component was found to dominate the observed Cotton effect of both myoglobin derivatives. The different signs of the noncoincidences between CD and absorption bands observed for deoxyMb and MbCN are due to different signs of the respective matrix elements of A(1g) electronic interstate coupling, which reflects an imbalance of Gouterman's 50:50 states. The splitting of the B band reflects contributions from electronic and vibronic perturbations of B(1g) symmetry. The results of our analysis suggest that the broad and asymmetric absorption band of deoxyMb results from this band splitting rather than from its dependence on heme doming. Thus, we are able to explain recent findings that the temperature dependences of CO rebinding to myoglobin and the Soret band profile are uncorrelated[Ormos et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci U.S.A. 95, 6762 (1998)].

Abstract
We have measured and analyzed the low-temperature (T=10 K) absorption spectrum of reduced horse heart and yeast cytochrome c. Both spectra show split and asymmetric Q(0) and Q(upsilon) bands. The spectra were first decomposed into the individual split vibronic sidebands assignable to B(1g) (nu15) and A(2g) (nu19, nu21, and nu22) Herzberg-Teller active modes due to their strong intensity in resonance Raman spectra acquired with Q(0) and Q(upsilon) excitations. The measured band splittings and asymmetries cannot be rationalized solely in terms of electronic perturbations of the heme macrocycle. On the contrary, they clearly point to the importance of considering not only electronic perturbations but vibronic perturbations as well. The former are most likely due to the heterogeneity of the electric field produced by charged side chains in the protein environment, whereas the latter reflect a perturbation potential due to multiple heme-protein interactions, which deform the heme structure in the ground and excited states. Additional information about vibronic perturbations and the associated ground-state deformations are inferred from the depolarization ratios of resonance Raman bands. The results of our analysis indicate that the heme group in yeast cytochrome c is more nonplanar and more distorted along a B(2g) coordinate than in horse heart cytochrome c. This conclusion is supported by normal structural decomposition calculations performed on the heme extracted from molecular-dynamic simulations of the two investigated proteins. Interestingly, the latter are somewhat different from the respective deformations obtained from the x-ray structures.

Abstract
We have measured the electronic circular dichroism (ECD) of the ferri- and ferro-states of several natural cytochrome c derivatives (horse heart, chicken, bovine, and yeast) and the Y67F mutant of yeast in the region between 300 and 750 nm. Thus, we recorded the ECD of the B- and Q-band region as well as the charge-transfer band at approximately 695 nm. The B-band region of the ferri-state displays a nearly symmetric couplet at the B0-position that overlaps with a couplet 790 cm-1 higher in energy, which we assigned to a vibronic side-band transition. For the ferro-state, the couplet is greatly reduced, but still detectable. The B-band region is dominated by a positive Cotton effect at energies lower than B0 that is attributed to a magnetically allowed iron-->heme charge-transfer transition as earlier observed for nitrosyl myoglobin and hemoglobin. The Q-band region of the ferri-state is poorly resolved, but displays a pronounced positive signal at higher wavenumbers. This must result from a magnetically allowed transition, possibly from the methionine ligand to the dxy-hole of Fe3+. For the ferro-state, the spectra resolve the vibronic structure of the Qv-band. A more detailed spectral analysis reveals that the positively biased spectrum can be understood as a superposition of asymmetric couplets of split Q0 and Qv-states. Substantial qualitative and quantitative differences between the respective B-state and Q-state ECD spectra of yeast and horse heart cytochrome c can clearly be attributed to the reduced band splitting in the former, which results from a less heterogeneous internal electric field. Finally, we investigated the charge-transfer band at 695 nm in the ferri-state spectrum and found that it is composed of at least three bands, which are assignable to different taxonomic substates. The respective subbands differ somewhat with respect to their Kuhn anisotropy ratio and their intensity ratios are different for horse and yeast cytochrome c. Our data therefore suggests different substate populations for these proteins, which is most likely assignable to a structural heterogeneity of the distal Fe-M80 coordination of the heme chromophore.

Abstract
The equilibrium complexity involving different axially coordinated hemes is peculiar to hemoglobins. The pH dependence of the spontaneous exchange of ligands in the extracellular hemoglobin from Glossoscolex paulistus was studied using UV-Vis, EPR, and CD spectroscopies. This protein has a complex oligomeric assembly with molecular weight of 3.1 MDa that presents an important cooperative effect. A complex coexistence of different species was observed in almost all pH values, except pH 7.0, where just aquomet species is present. Four new species were formed and coexist with the aquomethemoglobin upon acidification: (i) a "pure" low-spin hemichrome (Type II), also called hemichrome B, with an usual spin state (d(xy))(2)(d(xz),d(yz))(3); (ii) a strong g(max) hemichrome (Type I), also showing an usual spin state (d(xy))(2)(d(xz),d(yz))(3); (iii) a hemichrome with unusual spin state (d(xz),d(yz))(4)(d(xy))(1) (Type III); (iv) and a high-spin pentacoordinate species. CD measurements suggest that the mechanism of species formation could be related with an initial process of acid denaturation. However, it is worth mentioning that based on EPR the aquomet species remains even at acidic pH, indicating that the transitions are not complete. The "pure" low-spin hemichrome presents a parallel orientation of the imidazole ring planes but the strong g(max) hemichrome is a HALS (highly anisotropic low-spin) species indicating a reciprocally perpendicular orientation of the imidazole ring planes. The hemichromes and pentacoordinate formation mechanisms are discussed in detail.

Abstract
We have measured the low temperature (T = 20 K) absorption spectra of the N52A, N52V, N52I, Y67F, and N52AY67F mutants of ferrous Saccharomyces cerevisiae (baker's yeast) cytochrome c. All the bands in the Q0- and Q(v)-band region are split, and the intensity distributions among the split bands are highly asymmetric. The spectra were analyzed by a decomposition into Voigtian profiles. The spectral parameters thus obtained were further analyzed in terms of the vibronic coupling model of Schweitzer-Stenner and Bigman (Schweitzer-Stenner, R.; Bigman, D. J. Phys. Chem. B 2001, 7064-7073) to identify parameters related to electronic and vibronic perturbations of the heme macrocycle. We report that the electronic perturbation is of B(1g) symmetry and reflects the heterogeneity of the electric field at the heme, that is, the difference between the gradients along the perpendicular N-Fe-N axis of the heme core. We found that all the investigated mutations substantially increase this electronic perturbation, so that the spectral properties become similar to those of horse heart cytochrome c. Moreover, the electronic perturbation was found to correlate nonlinearly with the enthalpy changes associated with the reduction of the heme iron. Group theoretical arguments are invoked to propose a simple model which explains how a perturbation of the obtained symmetry can stabilize the reduced state of the heme iron. Finally, vibronic coupling parameters obtained from the analysis of the Q(v)-band region suggest that the investigated mutations decrease the nonplanar deformations of the heme group. This finding was reproduced by a normal mode structural decomposition (NSD) analysis of the N52V and N52VY67F heme conformations obtained from a 1 ns molecular dynamics simulation. We argue that the reduced nonplanarity contributes to the stabilization of the reduced state.

Abstract
In this work the temperature dependence of the Soret band line shape in carbon-monoxy myoglobin is re-analyzed by using both the full correlator approach in the time domain and the frequency domain approach. The new analyses exploit the full density of vibrational states of carbon-monoxy myoglobin available from normal modes analysis, and avoid the artificial division of the entire set of vibrational modes coupled to the Soret transition into "high-frequency" and "low-frequency" subsets; the frequency domain analysis, however, makes use of the so-called short-times approximation, while the time domain one avoids it. Time domain and frequency domain analyses give very similar results, thus supporting the applicability of the short-times approximation to the analysis of hemeprotein spectra; in particular, they clearly indicate the presence of spectral heterogeneity in the Soret band of carbon-monoxy myoglobin. The analyses also show that a temperature dependence of the Gaussian width parameter steeper than the hyperbolic cotangent law predicted by the Einstein harmonic oscillator and/or a temperature dependence of inhomogeneous broadening are not sufficient to obtain quantitative information on the magnitude of an-harmonic contributions to the iron-heme plane motion. However, the dependence of the previous two quantities may be used to obtain semiquantitative information on the overall coupling of the Soret transition to the low-frequency modes and therefore on the dynamic properties of the heme pocket in different states of the protein.
