摘要

Proteins are inherently dynamic molecules with movements on many time scales. This thesis focuses on the consequences of those dynamics for long range protein-protein electron transfer (ET), specifically of that which occurs in a flash-initiated photocycle. The studies presented here use mixed-metal hemoglobin (Hb) hybrids substituted with Zn in one of the chain types as an ideal system with which to study ET between protein redox partners docked in a crystallographically defined conformation. Even in this well-defined structure, the "forward" and "back" halves of a flash-induced ET photocycle show influences from dynamics. We show that because each half involves different initial configurational ensembles, it will respond differently when conformational dynamics are modulated through changes in viscosity (eta). The forward ET reaction is initiated in an equilibrium ensemble of mostly non-reactive configurations. The reaction is activated by conformational fluctuations into reactive configuration(s) and thus is impeded when those fluctuations are damped by increasing viscosity. In contrast, the ET intermediate is the product of the photoinitiated forward ET process, and by necessity is generated in one of the non-equilibrium ensemble of ET-optimized configurations. Thus, it returns to the ground state with the fastest rate constant possible unless conformational interconversion first 'breaks the connection' and the complex converts to a non-reactive substate.;To understand how ET and conformational rate constants evolve with eta we have introduced a new comprehensive kinetic-dynamic (KD) model for ET. The KD model incorporates the presence of multiple interconverting substates and characterizes the observed ET kinetics with equations that explicitly include interconversion rates that are well-defined functions of eta. The model is used to describe the ET photocycle of the [alpha1(ZnP),beta 2(Fe+3P(L))]2 (P = protoporphyrin IX, L = N3-, CN-, F-) hybrids from 0-20°C and pHs 6.0-8.0. The results indicate that both the nature of the exogenous ligand and pH have a significant influence on the nature of ET and conformational dynamics observed in the system.
