The rate of ligand exchange on the tetrakis(tetramethylthiourea) zinc(II) ion, determined by 1H N.M.R. methods, in CD2Cl2 solution is found to be independent of free-tetramethylthiourea concentration. This is consistent with a dissociative ligand-exchange mechanism being operative. Typically for a solution in which [Zn{S=C(NMe2)2}42+] and [S=C(NMe2)2] were 0�00101 and 0�00376 respectively, kex(200 K) = 16�0�0.6 s-1, ΔH‡ = 64�9�O.8 kJ mol-1 and ΔS‡ = 106�4 J K-1 mol-1 where the observed ligand-exchange rate is given by rate = 4kex[Zn {S=C(NMe2)2}42+] The preparations of [Zn(O=CHNMe2)6](ClO4)2, [Zn{O=CMe(NMe2)}6](Cl04)2, and [Zn{O=C- (NMe2)2}4](ClO4)2 are also reported. The rate of ligand exchange upon these three species in CD2Cl2 solution was found to be in the fast-exchange limit of the N.M.R. time scale.

The histidine-specific reagent diethyl pyrocarbonate has been used to chemically modify bovine heart cytochrome oxidase. Thirty-two of sixty-seven histidine residues of cytochrome oxidase are accessible to modification by diethyl pyrocarbonate. Effects on the Soret and α bands of the heme spectrum indicate disturbance in the environment of one or both of the heme groups. However, diethyl pyrocarbonate modification does not alter the 830-nm absorbance band, suggesting that the environment of CuA is unchanged. Maximal modification of cytochrome oxidase by diethyl pyrocarbonate results in loss of 85–90% of the steay-state electron transfer activity, which can be reversed by hydroxylamine treatment. However, modification of the first 20 histidines does not alter either activity or the heme spectrum, but only when 32 residues have been modified are the activity and heme spectral changes complete. The steady-state kinetic profile of fully modified oxidase is monophasic; the phase corresponding to tight cytochrome c binding and low turnover is retained, whereas the high turnover phase is abolished. Proteoliposomes incorporated with modified oxidase have a 65% lower respiratory control ratio and 40% lower proton pumping stoichiometry than liposomes containing unmodified oxidase. These results are discussed in terms of a redox-linked proton pumping model for energy coupling via cytochrome oxidase.Key words: cytochrome oxidase, histidine modification, electron transfer, proton pumping, diethyl pyrocarbonate.

A lH n.m.r. study shows that ligand exchange on tetrakis(N,N-diethylacetamide)beryllium(II) in both CD3NO2 and CD3CN solution is charaterized by the rate law: Exchange rate = 4(k1 + k2[OCMe(NEt2)]free)[Be{OCMe(NEt2)}42+] In CD3NO2 solution k1 (340K) is 2.3 � 0.1 s-1, ΔH‡.76.4 � 2.2 kJ mol-1, ΔS‡ -14.6 � 6.4 JK-1 mol-1, k2 (340K) 19.9 � 0.3 dm3 mol-1s-1, ΔH‡ 68.5 � 0.8kJ mol-1, ΔS‡ -19.6 � 2.4 JK-1 mol-1, and somewhat different magnitudes are observed in CD3CN solution. The k1 term is assigned to a dissociative (D) ligand exchange mechanism, and the k2 term is assigned to either an associative (A) or an interchange (I) mechanism. These data are discussed in conjunction with ligand exchange data for other beryllium(II) systems.
