摘要: We have generated mutants of cytochrome b562 in which the histidine ligand to heme iron (His102) has been replaced by a methionine. The resulting proteins can bis-methionine coordination iron, but stability this arrangement is dependent on oxidation state and solution pH. used optical, MCD, EPR spectroscopies study nature environment under variety conditions. Optical spectra reduced single variant, H102M, are consistent with ligation. In its oxidized state, protein high-spin all conditions studied, spectroscopic properties only one methionine ligands being coordinated. cannot identify what, if anything, provides other axial ligand. A double R98C/H102M (in covalently attached through c-type thioether linkage), also coordinated ferrous significantly different ...
