Dagmar Ringe,* Gregory A. Petsko, David E. Kerr, and Paul R. Ortiz de Montellano abstract: X-ray crystallographic studies of myoglobin do not show an entrance or exit path for potential ligands from the surface to the heme cavity. Efforts to locate such a path have so far centered around dynamic calculations. A structure has now been determined that has a clear opening. Phenylhydrazine reacts with myoglobin in such a way that a phenyl.^^. ccording to the three-dimensional structures of myoglobin determined by X-ray diffraction (Kendrew et al., 1960; Perutz & Matthews, 1966; Nobbs, 1966; Takano, 1977a, b), there is no obvious entrance or exit path for potential ligands from the outside of the proteininto the distal heme “pocket”. In fact, examination of the structures of deoxymyoglobin and liganded myoglobin has indicated that accessibility of the heme pocket to ligands is blocked by the side chains of several amino acids. Numerous suggestions have been made for structural changes that would form a path to the ligand binding site, many involving fluctuations of parts of the E-helix. For instance, rotation of His-64 (E7), followed by movement of the Arg-45 (CD3) side chain, would allow entry of a ligand (Nobbs, 1966). However, such a movement has as yet not been ob-served. Binding of imidazole to metmyoglobin causes extension of the b-axial length in the crystal (Nobbs, 1966). This has been interpreted to indicate that His-64 (E7) and Arg-45 (CD3) have been forced away from their normal positions to accom-modate the ligand. Trajectory and energy minimization calculations have indicated that His-64 (E7) and Val-68 (E11) lie in broad potential wells (Case & Karplus, 1979). In ad-dition, involvement of Val-68 (E11) is implicated by dependence of the methyl NMR on pH, the bindingof anions, and the nature of the ligand bound to the iron (Lindstrom & Ho, 1973).Consequently, two major paths have been postulated, to which the following amino acid residues make the dominant contributions to the energy barriers. For the classical path, His-64 (E7), Thr-67 (E10), and Val-68 (E11) are the important residues. For the secondary path, Leu-61 (E4) and Phe-34-(B14) are the important residues. A study of the dynamics of the myoglobin structure by X-ray diffraction (Frauenfelder et al., 1979) shows that none
