The magnetic-circular-dichroism (m.c.d.) spectra of oxidized ‘resting’ bovine cytochrome c oxidase and the cyanide-inhibited form are reported at 5.15 T and at 4.2 K along with m.c.d. magnetization curves plotted at selected wavelengths. In both spectra there are features at 790nm and 1564nm due to Cua and haem a respectively, the e.p.r.-detectable components of the enzyme. There is a new peak at 1946nm only in the spectrum of the cyanide-inhibited enzyme. Arguments are advanced that assign this to low-spin ferric haem a3 bridged to Cua3, thereby forming a ferromagnetically coupled pair of metal ions.

Reduced State

Optical. e.p.r. and near-infrared low-temperature m.c.d. (magnetic-circular-dichroism) spectroscopy were used to characterize the partially reduced cyanide-inhibited derivative of cytochrome c oxidase produced by anaerobic reductive titration with dithionite. The reductions of cytochrome a3+ and Cu2+a were followed by observation of the e.p.r. signals at g = 3.03, 2.21 and 1.5 and at g = 2.18, 2.03 and 1.99. As reduction proceeds new e.p.r. signals (g = 3.58 and 1.56) appear that quantify to give one haem per enzyme unit when a small excess of dithionite has been titrated in. The e.p.r. signal of the Cu2+a titrates in parallel with the disappearance of the band and 820nm in the optical absorption spectrum. The near-infrared m.c.d. spectrum shows the presence of the low-spin ferric haem, a3+, in the oxidized state of the enzyme, as a well-resolved positive peak at 1650nm. As reduction proceeds this band is replaced by one at 1550nm due to haem a3+(3)–CN in the partially reduced state. Hence as haem a3+(3)–CN becomes e.p.r.-detectable it also shows a near-infrared m.c.d. spectrum characteristic of a low-spin ferric haem. It is concluded that the partially reduced state of cyanide-inhibited cytochrome c oxidase contains a2+ . Cu+a . a3+(3)–CN . Cu+a3.
