Abstract
The magnetic susceptibility of singly reduced, camphor-complexed cytochrome P-450 from Pseudomonas putida has been measured at various temperatures. Computer analysis using a spin Hamiltonian gives values of D between 15K and 25K, which agrees with a value of D = 20K found by low-field variable temperature Mössbauer spectroscopy. This result is compared with those from deoxyhemoglobin and deoxy-myoglobin.

Bibliographical note
Funding Information:high-spin iron atom in reduced P-450 has an isolated ground state oribital (with spin quintet) conducive to the spin Hamiltonian formalism, while the heme iron of deoxyhemoglobin and deoxymyoglobin might be better described Using a different approach \[1 2 \].
