A highly improved method for obtaining resonance Raman (RR) spectra provided spectra comparable to the best known flavoprotein spectra when the method was tested using bovine heart NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase (Complex I), a protein with a molecular mass of 1000 kDa, which causes the level of RR noise to be 1 order of magnitude higher than for most flavoproteins. The FMN RR band shift (1631/1633 cm(-1)) and the increase in the magnitude of the band at 1252 cm(-1) upon binding to Complex I suggest hydrogen bond formation involving one of the C=O groups [C(2)=O] of isoalloxazine to stabilize its quinoid form. This lowers the redox potential of FMN and the electron density of the O(2) binding site [a carbon atom, C(4a)] in the reduced form. Thus, spontaneous production of reactive oxygen species at the FMN site is prevented by minimizing the duration of the fully reduced state by accelerating the FMN oxidation and by weakening the O(2) affinity of C(4a). Other band shifts (1258/1252 cm(-1) and 1161/1158 cm(-1)) suggest a significantly weaker hydrogen bond to the NH group [N(3)-H] of isoalloxazine. This result, together with the reported X-ray structure in which N(3)-H is surrounded by negatively charged surface without hydrogen bond formation, suggests that N(3)-H is weakly but significantly polarized. The polarized N(3)-H, adjacent to the C(2)=O group, stabilizes the polarized state of C(2)=O to strengthen the hydrogen bond to C(2)=O. This could fine-tune the hydrogen bond strength. Other results show a high-dielectric constant environment and weak hydrogen bonds to the isoalloxazine, suggesting adaptability for various functional controls.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
