Implication

Spectroscopic study reveals carbon monoxide coordination in hemocyanin and model copper complexes, highlighting oxygen-carrier active site architecture.

Key Points

To characterize the molecular coordination and binding environment of carbon monoxide complexed with hemocyanin and simple synthetic copper compounds.
Measured vibrational infrared absorption spectra of carbon monoxide bound to hemocyanin protein active sites.
Compared hemocyanin spectra against reference infrared measurements of simple, well-defined copper-carbon monoxide coordination complexes.
Infrared stretching frequencies identified specific carbon monoxide-to-copper coordination modes in hemocyanin.
Spectral shifts relative to model copper complexes defined the local chemical and electronic environment of the protein active center.
