Remember:
Hr and sMMO share the main features:
a four-helix-bundle surrounding a Fe-(carboxylato)2-Fe core
but differ in the particular environment of the Fe centers:
-Hr coordination sphere is more histidine rich
-Hr permits only terminal O2-coordination to a single iron, while sMMO
diiron center presents open or labile coordination sites on both Fe
-sMMO shows much greater coordinative flexibility upon oxidation
-The larger number of anionic ligands allows sMMO to achieve the FeIV
oxidation state needed for oxidation methane.
Intermezzo: Bioligands
Histidin
pKa (His+) = 6.0  neutral at pH 7, but can be easily protonated,
can serve as „proton shuttle“
Both tautomers are found as ligands
pKa (His) = 14.4  rarely exists in deprotonated form as
bridging ligand (in Cu-Zn superoxide-dismutase)
Aspartate & Glutamate
pKa (COOH) = 3.9
pKa (COOH) = 4.1
 at pH 7 anionic even without coordination to a metal atom
Cysteinate
Cys
pKa (SH) = 8.3
 neutral at pH 7. Coordination to a metal atom stabilizes
anionic form.
Tyrosinate
Tyr
pKa (TyrH) = 10.1
neutral at pH 7. Coordination to a metal atom stabilizes
anionic form.
Can be oxidized to a radical Tyr· (see RNR-R2)!
Intermezzo: Bioligands

 would procede in reverse direction
in aqueous solutions at pH 7
But: Tetrahedral Cu- environment in hemocyanin favors Cu+ !
The potential of the Cu 2+/Cu+ couple shifts to 0.3-0.4 V

 The whole reaction becomes reversible

Tyrosinase versus Hemocyanin
The coupled binuclear copper sites in tyrosinase and hemocyanin are very similar.
Why is then tyrosinase capable of reacting with substrates while hemocyanin is not?

Conclusions
In many cases, metalloproteins use the same or similar active site
for different purposes.
The strategies to confer a particular activity to a given site include
- Allowing/disallowing access of substrates to the active site
(including the dynamics of diffusion of substrate/product)
-Modifying the electrostatic potential by mutating the amino acids
coordinated to the metal or surrounding the binding pocket
-Architecture of the binding pocket defines substrate selectivity
and affects energy of transition states→governs reaction outcome
