The oxy-heme unit of oxygen-hemoprotein complexes contains four oxidizing equivalents in excess of the ferrous state. Oneelectronequivalent reduction of the oxy-heme center would therefore convert it formally to the oxidation state of t5. This oxidation state is known to represent the catalytic intermediate compound I of peroxidase enzymes [1, 2]. However, no such intermediate compound has been found in the case of the oxygen storage and transport hemoproteins such as myoglobin and hemoglobin. These results seem to be compatible with the difference in catalytic specificity and reactivity of oxy-heme complexes of heme proteins and enzymes. Various theoretical and spectroscopic studies [3-71 have been recently undertaken to define stereochemical origins of the oxy-heme reactivity. The potential application of low-temperature radiolysis method [8, 9] to produce oneelectron-addition compounds of the oxygen-hemoprotein complexes in glassy matrices for spectroscopic analysis is demonstrated in the present work.
