Abstract
The kinetics of long-range electron transfer (ET) have been measured in Ru(NH_3)_4L(His 39) derivatives (L is NH_3, pyridine, or isonicotinamide) of Zn-substituted Candida krusei cytochrome c and Ru(NH_3)_4L(His 62) derivatives (L is NH_3 or pyridine) of Zn-substituted Saccharomyces cerevisiae cytochrome c. The rates of both excited-state electron transfer and thermal recombination are approximately 3 times greater in Ru(His 39)cytochrome c (Zn) than the rates of the corresponding reactions in Ru(His 33)cytochrome c (Zn), but analogous ET reactions in Ru(His 62)cytochrome c (Zn) are roughly 2 orders of magnitude slower than in the His 33-modified protein. Analysis of driving-force dependences establishes that the large variations in the ET rates are due to differences in donor-acceptor electronic couplings. Examination of potential ET pathways indicates that hydrogen bonds could be responsible for the enhanced electronic couplings in the Ru(His 39) and Ru(His 33) proteins.
