Abstract excerpt
Human heme oxygenase (hHO-1) is a physiologically important enzyme responsible for free heme catabolism. The enzyme's high regiospecificity is controlled by the distal site hydrogen bond network that involves water molecules and the D140 amino acid residue. In this work, we probe the active site environment of the wild-type (WT) hHO-1 and its D140 mutants using resonance Raman (rR) spectroscopy. Cyanide ligands...
