title: Resonance Raman spectroscopy of soybean peroxidase.
abstract: Resonance Raman spectra (600-1700 cm-1) for the heme enzyme soybean peroxidase (Rz = 2.5) were obtained using Soret band excitation at 406.7 nm. The vibrational frequencies and depolarization data indicate a strong similarity between the active sites of soybean and horseradish peroxidase. This similarity suggests that the active site in the resting form of soybean peroxidase contains a ferric iron, is a high-spin 5-coordinate heme binding His as a fifth axial ligand.
