Analysis the UV-visible Spectra of Neuroglobin Based on Two-Level Model

T T Thao, C T Anh, N T Lan and N A Viet

Neuroglobin (Ngb), a novel member of the Globin Group, is recently discovered by Burmester et al. (2000). Its uncertain physiological function makes lots of interest. The existing of a six-coordination heme geometry with proximal and distal histidines directly creates an axis within the heme iron, while the sixth ligand coordination binds to small ligand reversibly. The analysis of UV-visible spectrum of Ngb by the well-known two-level model shows an agreement of the experiment data and theoretical results.
