HOOC-^ OH U2 HOOC-^ b-COOH eight atoms of ferric iron per molecule (mol wt 700 000) and consists of eight identical protomers, each of which is composed of two pairs of nonidentical subunits (^ ß)· 2 The enzyme shows a red color with a broad absorption near 450 nm which is attributable to the ferric iron coordinated with some amino acid residues of the polypeptide chains (see the inset of Figure 1). When the substrate (protocatechuic acid) is added anaer-obically, the visible spectrum shows an increase in intensity of~ 480 nm implying the formation of an enzyme-substrate (ES) complex. Upon admission of oxygen a new absorption arises at 520 nm, suggestive of the formation of a ternary complex (ESOi). When the substrate is consumed, the original spectrum is recovered. 3 Apparently the iron atoms play an important role in the activation of oxygen and/or substrate. Elucidation of the coordination environment around the ferric iron is thus of primary importance for understanding the mechanism of the enzymic reaction. A previous report suggested, on the basis of EPR spectroscopy, a tetrahedral ar-rangement of four cysteinyl sulfur atoms similar to the case of rubredoxin, 4 while another study based on Móssbauer spectrum claimed coordination of oxygen or nitrogen, but not sulfur, to the ferric iron. 5 Thustheir conclusions are in-consistent with each other.
