Abstract

Reconstitution of native and ruthenium-modified sperm whale myoglobins (Mb and Ru3Mb) with [OsII(MIX)(CO)(EtOH)] (MIX = mesoporphyrin IX-dicarboxylic acid) and [OsII(MIX)(DMF)2] yields carbonyl osmoglobin ([OsII(CO)][Mb]) and oxidized osmoglobins ([OsIII][Mb], [OsIII][Ru3Mb]). The visible spectrum of [OsII(CO)][Mb] exhibits α and β bands at 538 and 510 nm, respectively. The ascorbate reduction of dioxygen to water is catalyzed by [OsIII][Ru3Mb].
