The ligand motion within ba3-cytochrome c oxidase from Thermus thermophilus has been investigated by measuring time-resolved stepscan Fourier transform infrared difference spectra of photodissociated CO from heme a 3 at ambient temperature. Upon photodissociation, 15-20% of the CO is not covalently attached to CuB but is trapped within a docking site near the ring A of heme a3propionate. Two trajectories of CO that are distinguished spectroscopically and kinetically (Vco = 2131 cm-1, td = 10-35 μs and vco= 2146 cm -1, td = 85 μs) are observed. At later times (t d = 110 μs) the docking site reorganizes about the CO and quickly establishes an energetic barrier that facilitates equilibration of the ligand with the protein solvent. The time-dependent shift of the CO trajectories we observe is attributed to a conformational motion of the docking site surrounding the ligand. The implications of these results with respect to the ability of the docking site to constrain ligand orientation and the reaction dynamics of the docking site are discussed herein | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14279/1655 | ISSN: | 00219258 | DOI: | 10.1074/jbc.M307117200 | Rights: | © American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology | Type: | Article | Affiliation: | University of Crete | Affiliation : | University of Crete | Publication Type: | Peer Reviewed |
