Abstract
The reducing substrates 4-thiolumazine and 2,4-dithiolumazine have been used to form MoIV-product complexes with xanthine oxidase (XO) and xanthine dehydrogenase. These MoIV-product complexes display an intense metal-to-ligand charge-transfer (MLCT) band in the near-infrared region of the spectrum. Optical pumping into this MLCT band yields resonance Raman spectra of the Mo site that are devoid of contributions from the highly absorbing FAD and 2Fe2S clusters in the protein. The resonance Raman spectra reveal in-plane bending modes of the bound product and low-frequency molybdenum dithiolene and pyranopterin dithiolene vibrational modes. This work provides keen insight into the role of the pyranopterin dithiolene in electron-transfer reactivity.
