Artificial myoglobins have been prepared with Cu-or Zn-metalloporphyrins or with a heme derivative nitrated at the vinyl side chains and their conformations investigated by optical rotatory dispersion and circular dichroism and by immunochemical methods. Native myo-globin (Mb), Fe-Mb, and Cu-Mb exhibit identical rotations at the negative minima at 233 µ and at the positive maxima at 199 µ. Measurements of the reduced molar ellipticities of these derivatives at the negative circular dichroism bands at 221 and 208 µ were in agreement with optical rotation measurements. These results suggest that the three derivatives possess identical conformations. On the other hand, Nheme-Mb shows a small conformational change while Zn-Mb shows an appreciable degree of unfolding. A lower contribution of helical structure was, therefore, present in Zn-Mb and Nheme-Mb than thatfound in native myoglobin, Fe-Mb, or Cu-Mb. Furthermore, studies of the changes
