Abstract: The effect of rare earth ion Er3+on myoglobin(Mb) was studied by using Resonance Raman spectroscopy.The results show that with the variation of Er3+concentrations, both the oxidation state and spin state of Mb are sensitive to the perturbation of Er3+. Er3+added to Mb affects the oxidation and spin state synchronously.The structure sensitive groups of Mb are more accessible to the Er3+than other groups.According to the fluorometry and CDspectra studied and our results as mentioned above, we considered that Er3+does not interact with heme directly, and Er3+probably leads to the conformational changes of Mb due to the change of oxidation and spin state of Heme
