The reconstitution of myoglobin with an artificially created prosthetic group is a unique method for introducing a new chemical function into the protein. Particularly, the modification of two heme-propionates gives us an effective binding domain or binding site on the protein surface. This Account traces the design and construction of the highly ordered binding domain around the entrance of the heme pocket. The discussion includes the protein-small molecule or protein-protein recognition, electron transfer reaction within the complex, and enhancement of the chemical reactivity of the myoglobin with a substrate binding site. The synthetic approach to modifying a protein will be a new trend in engineering a novel function in naturally occurring hemoprotein.

We have designed and synthesized new optically active bisviologens ([BNMV](4+)) containing a binaphthyl moiety to examine the stereoselective photoinduced electron-transfer (ET) reactions with zinc-substituted myoglobin (ZnMb) by flash photolysis. The photoexcited triplet state of ZnMb, (3)(ZnMb)*, was successfully quenched by [BNMV](4+) ions to form the radical pair of a ZnMb cation (ZnMb(.+)) and a reduced viologen ([BNMV](.3+)), followed by a thermal ET reaction to the ground state. The rate constants ( k(q)) for the ET quenching at 25 degrees C were obtained as k(q)( R)=(2.9+/-0.2)x10(7) M(-1) s(-1) and k(q)( S)=(2.2+/-0.2)x10(7) M(-1) s(-1), respectively. The ratio of k(q)( R)/ k(q)( S)=1.3 indicates that the ( R)-isomer of the chiral viologen preferentially quenches (3)(ZnMb)*. On the other hand, the rate constants ( k) for the thermal ET reaction from [BNMV](.3+) to ZnMb(-+) at 25 degrees C were k( R)=(1.2+/-0.1)x10(8) M(-1) s(-1) and k( S)=(0.47+/-0.03)x10(8) M(-1) s(-1), respectively, and the ratio remarkably increased to k( R)/ k( S)=2.6. The activation parameters, Delta H(not equal) and Delta S(not equal), were determined from the kinetic measurements at various temperatures (10-30 degrees C) to understand the ET mechanisms. In the quenching reaction, the energy differences of Delta Delta H*(R- S) and T Delta Delta S*( R- S) at 25 degrees C were calculated to be -3.9+/-1.6 and -3.3+/-0.2 kJ mol(-1), respectively, whereas Delta Delta H*( R-S)=7.7+/-1.9 kJ mol(-1 )and T Delta Delta S*( R-S)=9.9+/-0.5 kJ mol(-1 )were found for the thermal ET reaction. Therefore, the thermal ET reaction to the ground state was proved to be dominated by the entropy term, and the large stereoselectivity may arise from the decrease in charge repulsion between donor and acceptor.

In order to understand the detailed mechanism of the stereoselective photoinduced electron-transfer (ET) reactions of zinc-substituted myoglobin (ZnMb) with optically active molecules by flash photolysis, we designed and prepared new optically active agents, such as N,N'-dimethylcinchoninium diiodide ([MCN]I2) and N,N'-dimethylcinchonidinium diiodide ([MCD]I2). The photoexcited triplet state of ZnMb, 3(ZnMb)*, was successfully quenched by [MCN]2+ and [MCD]2+ ions to form the radical pair of ZnMb cation (ZnMb.+) and reduced [MCN].+ and [MCD].+, followed by a thermal back ET reaction to the ground state. The rate constants (kq) for the ET quenching at 25 degrees C were obtained as kq(MCN)=(1.9+/-0.1)x10(6) M-1 s-1 and kq(MCD)=(3.0+/-0.2)x10(6) M-1 s-1, respectively. The ratio of kq(MCD)/kq(MCN)=1.6 indicates that the [MCD]2+ preferentially quenches 3ZnMb)*. The second-order rate constants (kb) for the thermal back ET reaction from [MCN].+ and [MCD].+ to ZnMb.+ at 25 degrees C were kb(MCN)=(0.79+/-0.04)x10(8) M-1 s-1 and kb(MCD)=(1.0+/-0.1)x10(8) M-1 s-1, respectively, and the selectivity was kq(MCD)/kq(MCN)=1.3. Both quenching and thermal back ET reactions are controlled by the ET step. In the quenching reaction, the energy differences of DeltaDeltaH ( not equal)(MCD-MCN) and DeltaDeltaS ( not equal)(MCD-MCN) at 25 degrees C were obtained as -1.1 and 0 kJ mol-1, respectively. On the other hand, DeltaDeltaH (not equal)(MCD-MCN)=11+/-2 kJ mol-1 and TDeltaDeltaS (not equal)(MCD-MCN)=-10+/-2 kJ mol-1 were given in the thermal back ET reaction. The highest stereoselectivity of 1.7 for [MCD].+ found at low temperature (10 degrees C) was due to the DeltaDeltaS ( not equal) value obtained in the thermal back ET reaction.
