Comparative quantum-chemical analysis of the electronic structure and Mössbauer parameters of the active site models for deoxymyoglobin and alpha- and beta-subunits of tetrameric deoxyhemoglobin.
The results of iterative extended Huckel calculations of the electronic structure of the penta-coordinated Fe(II)-porphyn-imidazole complexes as models for deoxymyoglobin and alpha- and beta-subunits of tetrameric deoxyhemoglobin are presented. Temperature dependences of the Fe-57 nuclei quadrupole splitting and isomer shift for deoxymyoglobin and alpha- and beta-subunits of tetrameric deoxyhemoglobin models were calculated taking into account the spin-orbit coupling between ground and low-lying Fe(II) high spin terms. The results show that the electronic structure and Mössbauer parameters are sensitive to the stereochemical differences of the active sites in deoxymyoglobin and alpha- and beta-subunits of tetrameric deoxyhemoglobin.
