The reduced-minus-oxidized FTIR difference spectrum of cytochrome c was measured at a series of pH values between 6 and 11. The results obtained clearly document the increasing divergence in the conformations of reduced and oxidized cytochrome c with increasing pH. A parametric analysis of the data based on least squares fitting to a sum of Henderson-Hasselbalch functions showed that at least two pK values, 9.5 and 10.5, are required to describe the pH titration data. Simultaneously recorded spectral data in the visible region, by contrast, could be described with a single pK value of 9.5, in good agreement with the literature. The FTIR spectrum of the component titrating with a pK of 10.5 was strongly suggestive of a tyrosine deprotonation, while the spectrum of the pK 9.5 component was consistent with a carboxyl deprotonation. The pH dependency of the spectral data was also analyzed using the 2D correlation method. Two-dimensional correlation analysis of the FTIR data confirmed the presence of two components titrating at different pK values, and yielded spectra for these two components that were essential identical to those obtained by parametric least-squares fitting. Correlation analysis of the FTIR against the visible data was particularly useful in providing immediate access to the FTIR spectral component titrating at the same pK as the 695 nm band, without requiring any assumptions as to the total number of pH-dependent components present.
