Abstract:
:Extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectra have been recorded at the Cu edge and Zn edge in native yeast superoxide dismutase and at the Cu edge and Cd edge in the yeast superoxide dismutase derivative, where Zn has been substituted with Cd. Two different metal ligand distances in the range 1.9-2.0 A and 2.3-2.4 are determined for the Cu and Zn metals. For Cd in the Zn site two different metal ligand distances about 2.2 A and 2.6 A, respectively, were found. The striking feature is the similarity between the amplitude and radii determined for both the Cu and Zn sites. The increased distances for Cd can be explained by the increased ionic radius of Cd relative to Cu and Zn. Based on these EXAFS results and other relevant knowledge about the metal geometries, we propose that histidine 61 (63) positioned between the Cu and Zn metals are in one subunit bound to Zn and in the other to Cu. This model explains the recently observed difference between the two metal sites in each subunit.
