Access and Binding of H2S to Hemeproteins: The Case of HbI of Lucina pectinata
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) was recently discovered as a gasotransmitter, capable of coordinating to the heme iron of hemeproteins. H2S is unique for its ability to render varying concentrations of the nucleophilic conjugate bases (HS- or S2-), either as free or bound species with expected outcomes on it...

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) was recently discovered as a gasotransmitter, capable of coordinating to the heme iron of hemeproteins. H2S is unique for its ability to render varying concentrations of the nucleophilic conjugate bases (HS- or S2-), either as free or bound species with expected outcomes on its further reactivity. There is no direct evidence about which species (H2S, HS-, or S2-) coordinates to the iron. We performed computer simulations to address the migration and binding processes of H2S species to the hemoglobin I of Lucina pectinata, which exhibits the highest affinity for the substrate measured to date. We found that H2S is the most favorable species in the migration from the bulk to the active site, through an internal pathway of the protein.
