Abstract

A flash photolysis method is described for analyzing ligand binding to the new and growing group of hemoglobins which are hexacoordinate in the unligated, ferrous state. Simple analysis of a two exponential fit to time courses for CO rebinding at varying CO concentrations yields rate constants for formation and dissociation of the hexacoordinate complex, and the bimolecular rate constant for CO binding. This method was tested with a nonsymbiotic plant hemoglobin from rice for which these values had not previously been determined. For this protein, dissociation and rebinding of the hexacoordinating amino acid side chain, His(73), is rapid and similar to the rate of CO binding at high CO concentrations. These results indicate that hexacoordination must be taken into account when evaluating the affinity of hexacoordinate hemoglobins for ligands.
