Haemoglobin (Hb) is widely known as the iron-containing protein in blood that is essential
for O 2 transport in mammals. Less widely recognised is that erythrocyte Hb belongs to a …

Heme-copper oxidases (HCOs) are terminal enzymes on the mitochondrial or bacterial
respiratory electron transport chain, which utilize a unique heterobinuclear active site to …

The first half of the title of this book may delude the uninitiated reader. The term'" Jahn-Teller
effect," taken literally, refers to a special effect inherent in particular molecular systems …

The crystal structure of Pseudomonas putida cytochrome P450cam with its substrate,
camphor, bound has been refined to R= 0.19 at a normal resolution of 1.63 Å. While the 1.63 …

Certain metal complexes provide the delicate balance re-quired to form adducts with
dioxygen without the metal (M) or the ligands (L) being irreversibly oxidized. Such systems …

An axiom of hemoprotein biochemistry is that mo-lecular structure provides the basis for an
understand-ing of how these proteins work. Chemical curiosity is aroused by the …

The structure of oxymyoglobin has been refined at 1· 6 Å resolution, using diffractometer
data collected at− 12° C. The crystallographic R factor is 0· 159, and the atomic positions are …

Abstract Information pertaining to the stereochemistry of metalloporphyrins and other
tetrapyrroles continues to expand. The present article reviews important developments of …

We have performed density functional theory (DFT) calculations of iron− porphyrin (FeP) and
its complexes with O2, CO, NO, and imidazole (Im). Our fully optimized structures agree well …
