Review
An overview of the application of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy for the analysis of the structure
of proteins and proteinligand recognition is given. The principle of the technique and of the spectra
analysis is demonstrated. Spectral signal assignments to vibrational modes of the peptide chromophore,
amino acid side chains, cofactors and metal ligands are summarized. Several examples for proteinligand
recognition are discussed. A particular focus is heme proteins and, as an example, studies of cytochrome
P450 are reviewed. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy in combination with the various techniques
such as time-resolved and low-temperature methods, site-directed mutagenesis and isotope labeling is a
helpful approach to studying proteinligand recognition. Copyright # 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

INTRODUCTION
Molecular recognition is a very complex phenomenon.
Proteins, substrates and ligands are part of an ensemble of
various components of the solution or the cell which all
together contribute to the recognition process. How can one
figure out and separate all the different interactions and find
the interaction that is most relevant for the function? There
are many experimental and theoretical methods to approach
the problem. One of them is Fourier transform infrared
spectroscopy (FTIR). The application of FTIR spectroscopy
to proteins is a broad field. This review will focus on
selected topics which are connected with proteinligand
recognition and will take cytochrome P450 (P450) as the
primary example. P450s represent a big superfamily of
heme-type monooxygenases which catalyze the conversion
of diverse substrates (Lewis, 1996). In contrast to most
heme proteins, like myoglobin and hemoglobin, P450s face

to the source while the other one passes the sample and
reaches the detector. The recombination of the mirrorreflected beams leads to a complex interference pattern with
the highest intensity in the center burst and decreasing
intensity to the sides of the center with increasing or
decreasing distance (x) between the movable mirror and the
beamsplitter. The detector measures the intensity [I(x)] of
the resulting radiation as a function of the distance (x)
(interferogram) [Fig. 1(B)].
A calibrating beam of a HeNe laser goes the same path
as the infrared radiation. Because of the monochromatic
HeNe laser light, its interferogram is a sine function. The
distance between two zero crossing points is simply half the
wavelength l of the laser light which is used as an internal
frequency calibration. The relation between the intensity
I(x) at the mirror position x and the intensity of a
monochromatic spectral line S(n) at the wavenumber n (=
1/l) is given by eq. (1).

S(kDn) represents the so-called single channel spectrum
[Fig. 2(A)]. The ratio between two single channel spectra
(Ssample/Sreference) gives the transmission spectrum which is
transformed to the absorption spectrum [Fig. 2(B)] by taking
the negative decadic logarithm.
FT infrared spectroscopy has various advantages compared to the dispersive method: (i) absorbance differences of
only 104 at an absolute absorbance of 0.51 can clearly be
resolved with few scans; (ii) the measurement time is very
short a time resolution of several milliseconds with a
mirror velocity of 320 kHz and a resolution of 8 cm1 can
be realized in the rapid-scan mode; and (iii) the step-scan
technique of moving the mirror step-wise opens new

Gauss and Lorentz line shapes are used for fitting the protein
amide bands [Fig. 3(B)]. For analysis of the stretch mode
spectra of the CO ironligand the Voigt function [convolution of a Lorentz and Gauss function; Fig. 3(C)] and the
logarithmic normal distribution function [Fig. 3(D)] have
also been used. The Lorentz line shape represents the
homogenous broadening of a spectral line and the halfwidth is a measure of the lifetime of the excited state. The
homogenous line width of the stretch mode of the CO ligand
in heme proteins lies in the range of 0.22 cm1 (Rector et
al., 1997). The Gaussian distribution results from the
interaction of the vibrating group with the environment
resulting in many microstructures for the vibrating group
(inhomogenous broadening effect). Because the width of
CO stretch modes in heme proteins is significantly larger
than 2 cm1 (720 cm1) one can conclude that inhomoCopyright # 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Phosphate. ATPases, kinases, and ion pumps bind phosphate and nucleotides. Phosphate buffer is commonly used
for protein solution. Knowledge of the infrared absorption
signals of phosphate is therefore important. The asymmetric
and symmetric stretch vibrations of PO2 in H2PO4 are
located at 1158 and 1068 cm1, respectively. The symmetric stretch and the degenerate stretch of PO22 in
H2PO42 appear at 992 and 1068 cm1, respectively. These
signals are influenced when phosphate binds to proteins
(Cepus et al., 1998a,b).
Recognition phenomena
Recognition phenomena in heme proteins with
histidine as proximal iron ligand
Hemoglobins and myoglobins. CO binds to protein-free
heme with an affinity which is approximately 20000 times
higher than that for O2. However, in proteins such as
hemoglobin and myoglobin this ratio is dramatically
lowered to about 25200. How can hemoglobins and
myoglobins as important oxygen carrier and storage
proteins discriminate between dioxygen and other small
ligands which act as poison such as CO, CN and NO?
CO stretch vibration: FeCO bending or electrostatic
polarization? For a long time it was thought that the protein
destabilizes the CO bond to the heme iron by steric
hindrance. This had been concluded from the FeCO
geometry, seen in the crystal structure of heme proteins,
which deviates from the expected linear orientation.
Infrared spectroscopic studies seemed to support this idea
at first view. In myoglobin, essentially three CO stretch
mode bands [Ao (1965 cm1), A1,2 (19451954 cm1),
and A3 (1932 cm1)] are observed with different relative
integral intensities of the bands (Ansari et al., 1987). In
hemoglobin from various sources, a major CO stretch band
between 1948 and 1951 cm1 and minor bands in the region
around 1930, 1943 and 1970 cm1 are observed (Potter et
al., 1990). Frauenfelder and coworkers have explained the
different infrared bands with conformational substates (A
states) of the protein (Frauenfelder, 1997). Ormos et al.
(1988) and Moore et al. (1987) assigned them to different
FeCO angles by measuring the linear dichroism
following photoselective flashphotolysis of the CO ligand
using infrared spectroscopy at low temperatures or timeresolved. However, recent infrared dichroism and timeresolved infrared polarization spectroscopic studies on COmyoglobin revealed an angle of 7 from the normal heme
without differences for the subconformer A states (Ivanov et
al., 1994; Sage and Jee, 1997; Lim et al., 1995a). The recent
crystal structure at near-atomic resolution (Vojtechovsky et

form and copper-bound form are seen as a negative band at 1960 cm1 and a
positive band at 2065 cm1, respectively. Simultaneously, a derivative-shape
spectral change is observed at 1724 cm1 (negative signal) and at 1731 cm1
(positive signal; inset) assigned to a weaker hydrogen bonded carboxylic acid
C=O in the complex when CO is bound to the copper center. This spectral
feature shifts to 1756 and 1761 cm1, respectively, when Glu286 is substituted
by Asp and is completely lost for the Glu286Cys mutant.] (B) A spectral shift is
observed at 31453135 cm1 upon CO binding to copper CuB, which can be
assigned to weakening of a histidine imidazole CH stretching. In addition, a
derivative spectral change is seen at 3020 and 3080 cm1 resulting from the
CH stretch of the heme vinyl group or methine bridge.
