The assignments were carried out by reconstituting the apoproteins of each component with selectively deuteriated hemes. The results indicate that even though the individual component preparations consist of essentially a single protein, the proton NMR spectra indicate spectroscopic heterogeneity. Evidence is presented for identification and classification of major and minor protein forms that are present in solutions of each component. Finally, in contrast to previous results, a detailed analysis of the proton hyperfineshift patterns of the major and minor forms of each component, in comparison to the major and minor forms of metmyoglobin, leads to the conclusion that thecorresponding forms of the proteins from each species have strikingly similar heme-globin contacts and display nearly identical heme electronic structures and coordination numbers. e erythrocytes of the marine annelid Glycera dibranchiata were originally shown to contain threemajor monomeric hemoglobins (components II, III, and IV) that could be easily isolated (Kandler& Satterlee, 1983; Kandler et al., 1984). Later work confirmed our original results and produced ad-ditional information aboutthe spectroscopic uniqueness of these proteins (Cooke & Wright, 1985a, b; Constantinidis & Satterlee, 1987). The principal interest in these proteins or-iginates from early work in which crystallography (Padlan & Love, 1974) and sequencing (Imamura et al., 1972) both indicated that the distal histidine (E-7) was missing in one of the monomer hemoglobins. In its place leucine was found. The implications of this substitution seem to have been immediately realized. The overall three-dimensional structural resemblance of one of the G. dibranchiata hemoglobins to myoglobins (Padlan & Love, 1974) and their comparable sequence homologies (Imamura et al., 1972; Satterlee, 1984) made these proteins of immediate interest to workers studying heme-globin structure-function relationships (Seamonds et al., 1976; Seamonds & Forster, 1972; Seamonds, 1971; Weber et al., 1977; Parkhurst et al., 1980). The reason for this is that unlike myoglobins or hemoglobins that possess exceptional E-7 substitutions which are generally polar or charged amino acids (Romero-Herrera et al., 1981; Dene et al., 1980; Huber et al., 1971; Wollmer et al., 1971) the G. dibranchiata sub-stitution is one that replaces the distal histidine by an amino acid with a completely hydrocarbon side chain (leucine). Given the interest in these unique proteins, our goal has been biochemical, spectroscopic, and kinetics characterization of f This work was supported by the National Institutes of Health through Grants DK30912 and HL01758 (Research Career Development Award) to JDS and HL22252 to KMS Additional support came from the Alfred P.
