Conversion of electron configuration of iron ion through core contraction of porphyrin: implications for heme distortion.
It was demonstrated experimentally that nonplanar iron porphyrins can be induced to undergo a conversion in their electronic configuration to form a cross-hybrid transition by compressing the macrocyclic core size for the central metal ion. A series of monostrapped iron porphyrins were used as model systems, and their electronic properties were probed using electron spin resonance and different...
متن کاملRedox tuning of cytochrome b562 through facile metal porphyrin substitution.
The biologically and nanotechnologically important heme protein cytochrome b(562) was reconstructed with zinc and copper porphyrins, leading to significant changes in the spectral, redox and electron transfer properties. The Cu form shifts the redox potential by +300 mV and exhibits high electron transfer, while the Zn form is redox inert.
متن کاملEriodictyol Protects Endothelial Cells against Oxidative Stress-Induced Cell Death through Modulating ERK/Nrf2/ARE-Dependent Heme Oxygenase-1 Expression
The pathophysiology of cardiovascular diseases is complex and may involve oxidative stress-related pathways. Eriodictyol is a flavonoid present in citrus fruits that demonstrates anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, neurotrophic, and antioxidant effects in a range of pathophysiological conditions including vascular diseases. Because oxidative stress plays a key role in the pathogenesis of cardiovasc...
متن کاملCharge-induced distortion and stabilization of surface transfer doped porphyrin films.
The interaction between zinc-tetraphenylporphyrin (ZnTPP) and fullerenes (C60 and C60F48) are studied using ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS) and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). Low temperature STM reveals highly ordered ZnTPP monolayers on Au(111). In contrast to C60, a submonolayer coverage of C60F48 results in long-range disorder of the underlying single ZnTPP layer and disto...
متن کاملComputational quantification of the physicochemical effects of heme distortion: redox control in the reaction center cytochrome subunit of Blastochloris viridis.
A facile, experimentally calibrated computational procedure is described that affords the relative ordering of heme cofactor reduction potentials with respect to intrinsic shifts brought about by apoprotein induced heme-macrocycle distortion. The method utilizes heme-Fe partial atomic charges and is useful with the computationally inexpensive B3LYP/3-21g method calculated for simplified heme mo...
