Gurd* abstract: Observed pK values for histidine residues in a series of myoglobins [Botelho, LH, and Gurd, FR N.(1978), Biochemistry 17 (preceding paper in this issue)] were compared with computed values by an extension of the Tan-ford-Kirkwood theory based on the modification by Shire et al.[Shire, SJ, Hanania, GI H. and Gurd, F. R. N.(1974) Biochemistry 13, 2967], The extended treatment draws on the three-dimensional structure of sperm whale myoglobin to specify which imidazole nitrogen atom is the more exposed to solvent in a given histidine residue. The choice of pÁT¡ m is then taken as 6.60 if NT is the more exposed or 6.00 if Nx is the more exposed, and the corresponding fractional static solvent ac-The preceding paper in this issue reported assignments of histidine C-2 proton resonances observed among a set of myoglobins obtained from 16 animal species (Botelho and Gurd, 1978). The histidine resonances were identified with residues 8, 12, 35, 36, 48, 81,113,116,119, 128, and 152. The present report deals with the interpretation of the observed titration behavior in each case in terms of chemical-shift ranges and pK values. The observed pK values are compared with computed values based on the extension by Shire et al.(1974a, b) of the Tanford-Kirkwood electrostatic theory (Tanford and Kirkwood, 1957; Tanford and Roxby, 1972). The treatment draws on the three-dimensional structure of sperm whale myoglobin (Takano, 1977) to help specify the particular imidazoleNT or Nx involved primarily in the proton equilibrium (Botelho, 1975). This choice of proton dissociation site in a given histidine residue is used (Botelho, 1975; Matthew et al., 1978b), in turn, to specify, first, a particular intrinsic pK value, pA) nt, that reflects the inherent differences in protonbinding behavior betweenNT and Nx (Reynolds et al., 1973) and, second, the fractional static solvent accessibilitythat applies in the given case (Lee and Richards, 1971; Matthew et al., 1978a). The computer pA" i/2 values, corresponding to the pK applying at the stage of half titration of a given group, show good agreement with experiment for all the myoglobins studied.
