Abstract

When lyophilized cytochrome c is disolved in pH 5 to 9 buffers, a spectroscopic change can be detected with a first‐order rate constant of 0.016 sec^βˆ’1^ at 23Β°, activation energy of 24.2 kcal/mole and entropy of activation of 11 e.u. The difference spectrum obtained by extrapolating the kinetic plots to zero time indicates that the form obtained by dissolving cytochrome c is in the low spin state and lacks the 695 nm band. It is proposed that the rate process observed corresponds to a conformation change in which the lysyl‐79 residue is displaced from iron coordination by the methionyl‐80 residue.

Hydration of protein cavities influences protein stability, dynamics, and function. Protein active sites usually contain water molecules that, upon ligand binding, are either displaced into bulk solvent or retained to mediate protein-ligand interactions.
