title: Kinetics of Pseudomonas aeruginosa cytochrome c551 and cytochrome oxidase oxidation by Co(phen)3(3+) and Mn(CyDTA)(H2O)-.
abstract: The reaction between reduced Pseudomonas cytochrome c551 and cytochrome oxidase with two inorganic metal complexes, Co(phen)3(3+) and Mn(CyDTA)(H2O)-, has been followed by stopped-flow spectrophotometry. The electron transfer to cytochrome c551 by both reactants is a simple process, characterized by the following second-order rate constant: k = 4.8 X 10(4) M-1 sec-1 in the case of Co(phen)3(3+) and k = 2.3 X 10(4) M-1 sec-1 in the case of Mn(CyDTA)(H2O)-. The reaction of the c-heme of the oxidase with both metal complexes is somewhat heterogeneous, the overall process being characterized by the following second-order rate constants: k = 1.7 X 10(3) M-1 sec-1 with Co(phen)3(3+) and k = 4.3 X 10(4) M-1 sec-1 with Mn(CyDTA)(H2O)- as oxidants; under CO (which binds to the d1-heme) the former constant increases by a factor of 2, while the latter does not change significantly. The oxidation of the d1-heme of the oxidase by Co(phen)3(3+) occurs via intramolecular electron transfer to the c-heme, a direct bimolecular transfer from the complex being operative only at high metal complex concentrations; when Mn(CyDTA)(H2O)- is the oxidant, the bimolecular oxidation of the d1-heme competes successfully with the intramolecular electron transfer.
