The intermediates generated in the reaction between myoglobin and peroxides mimic the intermediates found in<br />

many peroxidases, oxygenases and catalases [1, 2]. These myoglobin intermediates are also relevant because<br />

myoglobin is proposed to take part as scavenger of reactive oxygen species during oxidative stress. We have in<br />

this study combined crystallography and single-crystal light absorption spectroscopy (microspectrophotometry).<br />

Radiation-induced changes of the different intermediates in this reaction cycle have been observed and followed<br />

by microspectrophotometry [2, 3, 4] . We have been able by cryoradiolytic reduction of an oxymyoglobin<br />

equivalent (compound III) to generate and trap the so-called peroxymyoglobin intermediate, a Fe(II)-superoxide<br />

form indicated by quantum refinement analysis [2, 4]. By annealing of this compound the oxygen-oxygen bond is<br />

broken and the reaction propagates to the compound II intermediate [3, 4]. The structures have further been<br />

refined with quantum refinement [3, 4, 5].<br />
