Abstract

Mercaptide anions form exclusively penta-coordinate heme complexes [RS-heme] in polar and nonpolar solution over a wide range of mercaptide concentration. These complexes have a Soret peak at 408 nm and a formation constant of about 2.5 X 10(4) M(-1), and combine with CO to give a CO-cytochrome P-450 type spectrum. Kinetics of CO binding to mercaptide-heme complexes [RS-heme] have been studied by the flash photolysis method. Characteristic constants for this reaction suggest close similarities between [CH3-(CH2)3-S-heme] and cytochrome P-450. The reaction of alkoxide anion with heme has also been examined but no evidence was found for the existence of the [RO-heme-CO[ species.
