title: [Structure and electronic properties of heme complexes with various ligands].
abstract: The electronic and atomic structures, and the molecular dynamics of the atomic structure at 310 K of a set of heme complexes with His and Gly amino acids in the 5th coordination position and some ligands (O2, NO) in the 6th position were studied by ab initio (3-21G basis set) and semiempirical (PM3) quantum chemistry methods and the method of molecular dynamics. It was shown that the type of coordination of the imidazole ring influences the constant of chemical bonding of molecular oxygen of the complexes. On the other hand, NO and O2 molecules have different transinfluence on the ligand in the 5th coordination position. It was shown that temperature affects profoundly the atomic and electronic structures of the complexes, the tightness of chemical bonding and their reactivity.
