Evidence from electron-paramagnetic-resonance spectroscopy for a complex of sulphite ions with the molybdenum centre of sulphite oxidase

R C Bray et al. Biochem J. .

Abstract

Reduction of sulphite oxidase by sulphite at low pH values in Mes (4-morpholine-ethanesulphonic acid) buffer gives rise to a new molybdenum(V) electron-paramagnetic-resonance spectrum different from that obtained by photoreduction of the enzyme in the same medium. The spectrum is attributed to a sulphite complex of the enzyme, showing g-values of about 2.000, 1.972 and 1.963. The complex is analogous to that with the inhibitor phosphate in that it gives rise to no observable hyperfine coupling of Mo(V) to exchangeable protons.
