The geometry and vibrational behavior of selenocysteine [NiFeSe] hydrogenase isolated from Desulfovibrio vulgaris Hildenborough have been investigated using a hybrid quantum mechanical (QM)/ molecular mechanical (MM) approach. Structural models have been built based on the three conformers identified in the recent crystal structure resolved at 1.3 Å from X-ray crystallography. In the models, a diamagnetic Ni2+ atom was modeled in combination with both Fe2+ and Fe3+ to investigate the effect of iron oxidation on geometry and vibrational frequency of the nonproteic ligands, CO and CN-, coordinated to the Fe atom. Overall, the QM/MM optimized geometries are in good agreement with the experimentally resolved geometries. Analysis of computed vibrational frequencies, in comparison with experimental Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) frequencies, suggests that a mixture of conformers as well as Fe2+ and Fe3+ oxidation states may be responsible for the acquired vibrational spectra.

Hemocyanin of the horseshoe crab (Limulus polyphemus) has been studied in nany ways. Recently the structure, dissociation and reassembly was studied using electron microscopy of negatively stained specimens as the method of investigation. Crystallization of the protein proved to be possible and X-ray crystallographic analysis was started. Also fluorescence properties of the hemocyanin after dialysis against Tris-glycine buffer + 0.01 M EDTA pH 8.9 (so called “stripped” hemocyanin) and its fractions II and V were studied, as well as functional properties of the fractions by NMR. Finally the temperature-jump method was used for assaying the oxygen binding of the dissociating molecule and of preparations of isolated subunits. Nevertheless very little is known about the structure of the intact molecule. Schutter et al. suggested that the molecule possibly consists of two halves, combined in a staggered way, the halves themselves consisting of four subunits arranged in a square.
