The ultrafast response of cytochrome bc1 is investigated for the first time, via transient absorption spectroscopy. The distinct redox potentials of both c1- and b-hemes allow for a clear differentiation of their respective signals. We find that while the c1-heme photo-product exhibits the characteristics of a 5-coordinated species, the b-hemes presumably undergo photo-oxidation at a remarkably high quantum yield. The c1-heme iron–ligand recombination time is 5.4 ps, in agreement with previous reports on homologous cytochromes. The suggested photo-oxidized state of the b-hemes has a life-time of 6.8 ps. From this short life-time we infer that the electron acceptor must be within van der Walls contact with the heme, which points to the fact that the axial histidine residue is the electron acceptor. The different heme-responses illustrate the flexibility of the c1-heme ligation in contrast to the more rigid b-heme binding, as well as the higher electronic reactivity of the b-hemes within the bc1 complex. This study also demonstrates the remarkable connection between the heme local environment and its dynamics and, therefore, biological function.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
