Stereoselective Photoinduced Electron-Transfer Reactions of Zinc Myoglobin with Optically Active Viologens

Abstract: Photoinduced electron-transfer reactions between zinc-substituted myoglobin and optically active viologens and bisviologens, containing ((naphthyl-, ((phenyl-, and ((cyclohexyl)ethyl)carbamoyl)methyl groups, have been studied at 25 degrees C, pH 7.0 (a 0.01 M phosphate buffer), and various ionic strengths. The excited triplet state of zinc myoglobin was preferentially quenched by (S,S)-isomers of optically active viologens; both ratios of the quenching rate constants and back-electron-transfer rate constants, … Show more

“…Since an obvious property of the protein surface is chirality, stereoselective bimolecular ET with hemoproteins is now a signi®cant research interest. However, no experiments on the stereoselectivity in the photo-induced ET reactions between metalloproteins and a chiral organic agent have been conducted so far, with the exception of Tsukahara et al (1997). One of the reasons is the lack of systematic syntheses of such chiral molecules.…”
