We previously showed that one-electron transfer from tetrahydropterins to iron porphyrins is a very general reaction, with formation of an intermediate cation radical similar to the one detected in NO synthase. As a model reaction, the rates of reduction of eight haemoproteins by diMePH4 (6,7-dimethyltetrahydropterin) have been studied and correlated with their one-electron reduction potentials, Em (FeIII/FeII). On the basis of kinetic data analyses, a bimolecular collisional mechanism is proposed for the electron transfer from diMePH4 to ferrihaemoproteins. Haemoproteins with reduction potentials below −160 mV were shown not to be reduced by diMePH4 to the corresponding ferrohaemoproteins. For haemoproteins with reduction potentials more positive than −160 mV, such as chloroperoxidase, cytochrome b5, methaemoglobin and cytochrome c, there was a good correlation between the second-order reduction rate constant and the redox potential, Em (FeIII/FeII):The rate of reduction of cytochrome c by BH4 [(6R)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrobiopterin] was determined to be similar to that of the reduction of cytochrome c by diMePH4. These results confirm the role of tetrahydropterins as one-electron donors to FeIII porphyrins.
