Spectroscopic characterization of the holo-HemOα and HemOin proteins.
A, CD spectra of holo-HemOwt (black line), HemOα (blue line), and HemOin (red line). Spectra were recorded in 20 mm potassium phosphate (pH 7.8) at 25 °C with a final protein concentration of 20 μm.
B, thermal denaturation curves θ at 222 nm for holo-HemOwt (black circles), HemOα (blue circles), and HemOin (red circles). Buffer and protein conditions as in A. C, absorbance spectra of 10 μm holo-HemOwt (black lines), HemOα (blue lines), and HemOin (red lines). Buffer conditions are as in A.
