摘要: Abstract The study of electron transfer between the copper protein rusticyanin (RCy) and c 4 -cytochrome CYC 41 acidophilic bacterium Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans has evidenced a remarkable decrease RCy's redox potential upon complex formation. structure obtained at 2.2 A resolution highlighted specific glutamate residue (E121) involved in zinc binding as potentially playing central role this effect, required for to occur. EPR stopped-flow experiments confirmed strong inhibitory effect divalent cations on :RCy docking analysis RCy allows us propose detailed model complex-induced tuning agreement with our experimental data, which could be representative other proteins transfer.
