  • Title: Analyzing heme proteins using EPR techniques: the heme-pocket structure of ferric mouse neuroglobin.
    Author: Vinck E, Van Doorslaer S, Dewilde S, Mitrikas G, Schweiger A, Moens L.
    Journal: J Biol Inorg Chem; 2006 Jun; 11(4):467-75. PubMed ID: 16596390.
    Abstract:
    In this work, an electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) strategy to study the heme-pocket structure of low-spin ferric heme proteins is optimized. Frozen solutions of ferric mouse neuroglobin (mNgb) are analyzed by means of electron spin echo envelope modulation and pulsed electron-nuclear double resonance techniques. The hyperfine and nuclear quadrupole couplings of the directly coordinating heme and histidine nitrogens are derived and are discussed in comparison with known data of other ferric porphyrin compounds. In combination with the hyperfine matrices of the imidazole protons, the 14N EPR parameters reveal structural information on the heme pocket of mNgb that is in agreement with previous X-ray diffraction data on neuroglobins.
