Resonance Raman spectra were obtained for the OH-, N3- and F- derivatives of methemoglobin [human] by excitation in the 550-650 nm region. A selective enhancement with excitation in the charge-transfer bands is observed for peaks at 413 and 497 cm-1 and a doublet at 471 and 443 cm-1 in the N3-, OH- and F- complexes, respectively. These peaks are assigned to Fe-axial ligand stretches based on: a 20 cm-1 shift of the 497 cm-1 peak of the hydroxide complex to lower energy on isotopic substitution of 18OH- for 16OH-; the proximity of the 413 cm-1 Raman peak to the 421 cm-1 IR peak previously assigned to the Fe-N3- stretch in a model heme-azide complex and the selective appearance of the 471 and 443 cm-1 peaks in the Raman spectra of the F- complex. The doublet observed at 471 and 443 cm-1 in the F- derivative may reflect a heterogeneity in the heme cavity due to H- bonding of H2O to the F- ligand in the .alpha. and .beta. subunits, as was previously suggested based on X-ray diffraction results. The frequency of the Fe-F- vibration probably reflects the out-of-plane distortion of the Fe from the heme plane. The lack of a shift in frequency of the Fe-F- vibration suggests that there is little or no movement of the Fe with respect to the heme plane on addition of inositol hexaphosphate, which is thought to alter the allosteric equilibrium between the R and T forms of methemoglobin. This result is consistent with a recent X-ray crystallographic study of an IHP complex of MetHb-F-. Excitation profile measurements suggest that the charge-transfer band in methemoglobin OH- like that in methemoglobin N3- is z polarized, while in methemoglobin F- the charge transfer transition is mixed with a .pi. to .pi.* transition.
