title: Nanosecond transient resonance Raman spectra of the FeII-CO and FeIII-NO photolysis products of horseradish peroxidase.
abstract: Resonance Raman spectra, obtained with 7 ns pulsed laser excitation, are reported for the photoproducts of the FeII-CO and FeIII-NO adducts of horseradish peroxidase. The porphyrin skeletal frequencies are the same as those observed for unligated FeII and FeIII (native) horseradish peroxidase, respectively. The absence of unrelaxed spectra is discussed in relation to the photoproduct frequency shifts and relaxations observed previously for hemoglobin. It is proposed that protein conformational changes which are likely to be associated with the hydrogen-bonding interactions in the horseradish peroxidase heme pocket may not produce detectable changes in the porphyrin skeletal mode frequencies.
