Abstract:
Reaction intermediates in dioxygen reduction by the E. coli cytochrome bo ‐type ubiquinol oxidase were studied by time‐resolved resonance Raman spectroscopy using the artificial cardiovascular system. At 0–20 μs following photolysis of the enzyme—CO adduct in the presence of O 2 , we observed the Fe–O 2 stretching Raman band at 568 cm −1 which shifted to 535 cm −1 with the 18 O 2 derivative. These frequencies are remarkably close to those of other oxyhemoproteins including dioxygen‐bound hemoglobin and aa 3 ‐type cytochrome c oxidase. In the later time range (20–40 μs), other oxygen‐isotope‐sensitive Raman bands were observed at 788 and 361 cm −1 . Since the 781 cm −1 band exhibited a downshift by 37 cm −1 upon 18 O 2 substitution, we assigned it to the Fe IV =O stretching mode. This band is considered to arise from the ferryl intermediate, but its appearance was much earlier than the corresponding intermediate of bovine cytochrome c oxidase ( 〉 100 μs). The 361 cm −1 band showed the 16 O/ 18 O isotopic frequency shift of 14 cm −1 similar to the case of bovine cytochrome c oxidase reaction.
