X-ray absorption spectra near the Cu K edge were obtained for oxy- and deoxyhemocyanin (Hc) from Busycon canaliculatum using synchrotron radiation. Comparison with Cu complexes shows the edge structure to be consistent with imidazole coordination of Cu(II) and Cu(I), respectively. The Fourier transform of the extended fine structure (EXAFS) shows 2 well defined peaks. The positions and shape of the 1st peaks require coordination by low-Z atoms only, at average distances of 1.96 and 1.95 .ANG. for the Cu atoms of oxy- and deoxyHc. Their coordination numbers are calculated to be 4 and 2, respectively, but the uncertainties are large; 5 and 3 are considered to be likelier values, on the basis of chemical and spectroscopic evidence. The outer Fourier peak places a backscattering atom at 3.7 and 3.4 .ANG. from Cu in oxy- and deoxyHc. For oxyHc this atom is the other Cu by the shape of the retransformed amplitude function. For deoxyHc the outer shell peak can be fit either with Cu or with a 1st-row scatterer. In the latter case neither distance nor the required Debye-Waller factor is sensible chemically, and a Cu-Cu interaction is the preferred interpretation. These results, along with those from resonance Raman and electronic absorption spectroscopy, lead to a model of the Hc binding site. It has 2 Cu atoms bound to the protein via 3 histidine ligands each; in oxyHc the Cu(II) ions are bridged by the bound O22- and by an atom from a protein ligand, possibly tyrosine.
