| Research Abstract |
1) Role of the Heme Propionates in the Reduction of Metmyoglobin-It is suggested that the heme propionates have an important role in the reductions of metmyoglobins by using the dimethylester hemins and octaethylhemin which has no propionates in the heme.
2) Redox Behavior of Viologen Attached Metmyoglobin-Metmyoglobin whose lysine residue was modified with viologen was newly prepared and reduced by dithionite ions faster than native metmyoglobin. It is suggested that the viologen attached to myoglobin is reduced, following the rapid intramolecular electron-transfer reaction from the viologen radical cation to the iron(III) center.
3) Syntheses and Characterizations of a New Type of Viologen-Linked N-Alkylporphyrin and Its Zinc(II) Complex-New type of viologen-linked tetraphenylporphyrin and its zinc(II) complex containing an N-trimethylene bridge were synthesized and characterized by a two dimensional ^1H-NMR spectroscopy. The decay of the porphyrin-based fluorescence was fitted by two

exponentials, suggesting the presence of two conformers with respect to the orientation of viologen.
4) Photoinduced Electron-Transfer Reactions of Zinc and Magnesium Myoglobins-Both photoinduced electron-transfer and thermal backward electron-transfer reactions of zinc and magnesium myoglobins with cationic quenchers were bimolecular steps and the reaction rates were insensitive to the driving force of reactions, suggesting that the reactions are controlled by conformational changes of myoglobins. The intramolecular photoinduced electrontransfer was observed in a zinc myoglobin-hexacyanoferrate(III) complex, which forms by electrostatic interactions, and was inhibited in addition of poly-L-lysine by forming a stable complex of poly-L-lysine and hexacyanoferrate(III) ions.
5) Syntheses and Characterizations of Optical Active Viologens-Optical acitive viologens (OAV^<2+>) were newly synthesized and characterized. The stereoselectivity was found for the formation of the charge-transfer complex of OAV^<2+> with an L-ascorbate ion and for the ion-pair formation between OAV^<2+> and poly-L-glutamate ion. Less
