Abstract
The iron coordination structures of the oxygenated cytochrome P-450-CAM and chloroperoxidase and of a number of penta- and hexa-coordinate ferrous porphyrin complexes containing biologically relevant, sulfur axial ligands have been investigatied by EXAFS spectroscopy. The two oxygenated enzymes have both been found to contain a sulfur atom located 2.37 Å from the central heme iron. In the CO-ligated series of model complexes, two distinct categories of Fe-Sax distances have been observed that correlate with thiolate and non-thiolate ligation (~2.33 and ~2.41 Å, respectively) . The data for these model ferrous-CO ccomplexes, together with previously reported Fe-S distance in oxygenated heme iron model complexes ; allows the sulfur atoms in oxygenated P-450-CAM and chloroperoxidase to be identified as a thiolate sulfur.
