    Abstract:
    The electron-transfer reaction between azurin and cytochrome c1 isolated from Pseudomonas aeruginosa was investigated by rapid-reaction techniques. Temperture-jump studies clearly reveal two chemical relaxations, the amplitudes of which have ikentical spectral distributions, but relaxation times show different dependencies on reactant concentrations. Stopped experiments also showed complex kinetics. A model is proposed which is consistent with the kinetic and equilibrium data obtained. The central feature of this model is the proposal that two intercenvertible forms of reduced azurin exist in solution, only one of which si able to participate directly in the electron-transfer reaction with cytochrome c-551. Support for the hypothesis that two forms of reduced azurin exist is derived from studies on the electron-transfer reaction between azurin and Pseudomonas cytochrome oxidase. The possible physiological significance of such a situation is discussed.
