Dynamics of carbon monoxide recombination to fully reduced cytochrome c oxidase in plant mitochondria after low-temperature flash photolysis.


ABSTRACT: Rebinding of CO to reduced cytochrome c oxidase in plant mitochondria has been monitored optically at 590-630 nm after flash photolysis at low temperature from 160 to 200 K. (1) Under 100%-CO saturation, CO rebinding exhibits a four-step mechanism. The thermodynamic parameters of the first phase have been determined; its activation energy, Ea1, is 38.9 kJ.mol-1 and its enthalpy, delta H+/-1, and entropy, delta S+/-1, of activation are respectively 37.5 kJ.mol-1 and -75.8J.mol-1.K-1. (2) When the CO concentration is decreased to 0.2%, rebinding still occurs according to a four-step mechanism. The rate constant of the first phase is CO-concentration-independent. Under non-saturating conditions there is only one CO molecule per occupied site. The rebinding mechanism does not require additional CO molecules to be present in the haem pocket. (3) Dual-wavelength scanning experiments failed to detect optical forms correlated with the resolved phases. (4) Results are discussed with respect to previous work related to CO rebinding to mammalian cytochrome c oxidase and myoglobin.
