| Research Abstract |
Photo- and magneto-chemical studies on microstructure and function of the active sites in typical enzymes have been carried out by using a simultaneous ESR and optical measurement apparatus (ESRET) developed by this project. 1) Fe (tpp) Cl was employed as a model complexes of heme-Fe^<3+> proteins. This complex showed a clear formation of a peroxide adduct of Fe (tpp)(OOR), which is a key intermediate to function as several enzymatic reaction. The ESR and absorption spectra exhibit characteristic features of its formation. 2) By using the Co^<3+>-polyamine and Co^<2+>-(SB)(SB : Shiff base) as models of dioxygenases we have examined reaction mechanisms of catechol dioxygenase reactions. The former complex formed a binary complex with catechols, followed by an addition of O_2 resulting in a ternary complex. In the latter O_2 first formed an oxygen adduct with the complex, and occurred an intramolecular electron transfer reaction. Secondly, catechol as a substrate was oxydized by the cobalt complex to semiquinone. 3) As a typical example of Fe-SOD model Fe^<3+>-EDTA and its analogs were reacted with active oxygen species. It was found by ESRET that two intermediates are formed : One is sideon type Fe^<3+>-O_2^<2-> and the other Fe^<2+>-O_2^-. By using these intermediates as probes of the recation, the reaction mechanism of the SOD was investigated.
