Abstract

The resonance Raman spectra of FMN of the bovine heart NADH: ubiquinone oxidoreductase with the molecular mass of approximately one million dalton were determined by using highly improved enzyme preparation and resonance Raman apparatus. The band positions and the H2O/D2O exchange effect suggest that the N(3)−H group in the ring III of the isoalloxazine moiety is buried inside the protein to increase the vibrational coupling to the C(2)−N(3)-C(4) stretching mode and that the ring I is exposed to the aqueous phase.
