Cobalt-substituted carboxypeptidase and carbonic anhydrase were chosen as candidates for resonance Raman spectroscopy because they possess visible absorption due to the Co(II)-protein complex. However, no evidence for resonance-enhanced peaks due to the cobalt-containing chromophore was found with laser excitation near the visible absorption bands (514.5 nm) or closer to the ultraviolet absorption bands (457.9nm). Arsanilazocarboxypeptidase and model azotyrosine compounds were selected for a Raman spectroscopic investigation because they have intense absorption bands in the visible region. All of these substances yielded similar resonance Raman spectra. Although there was no evidence for specific zinc-ligand vibrations, shifts in vibrational frequencies of the azotyrosine chromophore could be used as proof of zinc complexation. The protonated azotyrosine model compound was found to have the phenoxy group hydrogen bonded to the azo group, forming a six-membered ring. Replacement of the proton by zinc resulted in the zinc atom being bound only to the phenoxy group. In arsanilazocarboxypeptidase the azotyrosine at position 248 in the polypeptide chain was found to have a structure similar to the protonated model compound, a six-membered ring with zinc bridging the phenoxy group and the azo group. This gave further proof that Tyr 248 is close to the zinc atom in the native enzyme, even in the absence of substrate.

M.S. / Chemistry / Resonance Raman spectra of the complex of FeIII-ethylenediamine-tetraacetate with hydrogen peroxide have been obtained in the region of the peroxidic O-O stretching vibration that occurs at 815 cm [superscript -1] in frozen solution. When the complex was prepared from nearly neat, mixed-isotope hydrogen peroxide, H216O18O, a single O-O vibration was observed at 794 cm [superscript -1]. This observation establishes that the two oxygen atoms of the bound peroxide are equivalent and that the peroxide is ligated in an η2 side-on configuration in this mononuclear complex. The absence of any shift in υ(O-O) when the complex was prepared in D2O solvent provides further support for the Fe-OO geometry and rules out the alternative η1 end-on Fe-OOH configuration. In contrast, υ(O-O) of free hydrogen peroxide in the frozen state occurs at 877 cm [superscript -1] in H2Oand at 879 cm [superscript -1] in D2O. The 2- cm [superscript -1] upshift in D2O is similar to that observed previously with oxyhemerythrin and appears to be characteristic of a hydrogen-bonded or protonated peroxide species.
