Functional Aspects of Ultra-rapid Heme Doming in Hemoglobin, Myoglobin, and the Myoglobin Mutant H93G (*)

Heme iron out-of-plane displacement following ligand dissociation in hemoglobin, myoglobin, and the proximal cavity mutant H93G is shown to be as rapid as the heme iron out-of-plane vibrational period by sub-picosecond time-resolved resonance Raman spectroscopy. The results demonstrate that the effect of steric repulsion initiated by the spin change of the iron gives rise to heme doming independent of covalent attachment of the proximal ligand to the protein. It is concluded that the protein plays a passive role in the initial ultrafast heme iron motion toward the out-of-plane position observed in the deoxy structure of hemoglobin and myoglobin. The results suggest that the spin change of the heme iron is the primary cause of rapid heme doming and that steric repulsion of the proximal ligand with the heme plays a secondary role in forcing the iron out of the heme plane.
