Light absorption and resonance Raman spectra for this modified enzyme indicated an iron porphyrin chromophore group. The alkaline pyridine hemochrome of the modified enzyme exhibited an optical spectrum closely related to that of iron protoporphyrin IX. The chromophore group of the modified myeloperoxidase was cleaved from the protein by methoxide. Proton magnetic resonance of the diamagnetic bis (cyanide) compound of the extracted heme group showed the presence of two vinyl and three methyl side chains associated with a porphyrin macrocycle. These data provide further insight into the structure of the active site in myeloperoxidase. The EPR spectral properties and enzymatic activities of the native myeloperoxidase are essentially conserved in the modified enzyme. Our present results indicate that the heme peripheral substituent is modified while the stereochemical structure surrounding the chromophore group is not altered by the photochemical modification.IN^ yeloperoxidase is a major component of the antimicrobial system of polymorphonuclearneutrophils (Klebanoff & Clark, 1978). One of the unique properties of myeloperoxidase is its ability to catalyze the formation of hypochlorous acid from hydrogen peroxide and chloride ion (Harrison& Schultz, 1976). Despite many investigations of the spectroscopic and enzymatic properties of myeloperoxidase (Schultz, 1980), the chemical structure of the heme group in this enzyme has not so far been identified because of the inability to extract the heme prosthetic group from the enzyme protein by usual methods, possibly due to the covalent linkage between the heme group and the apoprotein. Nevertheless, several proposals for the chemical structure of the heme group of this enzyme have
