Absorption and resonance Raman spectra using Soret excitation of alkaline metmyoglobin (metMb), methemoglobin (metHb), and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) were obtained at room and low temperature. At 298 K both metMb and metHb exhibit two isotope-sensitive bands assigned to high- and low-spin nu(Fe-OH) stretching modes, respectively, which are correlated with the spin-state population. The low-spin stretch occurs 60 cm-1 to higher energy than the corresponding high-spin vibration. When the temperature is lowered, only the low-spin species is observed. HRP exhibits at both 298 and 20 K only the low-spin nu(Fe-OH) stretching mode, which occurs 50 cm-1 to lower energy than the corresponding modes observed in the globins. This is explained in the context of a strong hydrogen bond between the hydroxyl ligand and the distal His42 and/or Arg38. Lowering temperature causes in all of the examined proteins a strengthening of the Fe-OH bond and a contraction of the core of about 0.01 A, as determined by the upshifting of the low-spin nu(Fe-OH) stretching mode and the core size marker bands. Both effects are ascribed to an increase of the packing forces.
