摘要: The X-ray crystal structure of recombinant wild-type azurin from Pseudomonas aeruginosa was determined by difference Fourier techniques using phases derived the mutant His35Leu. Two data sets were collected a single oxidized soaked in mother liquor buffered at pH 5.5 and 9.0, respectively. Both extend to 1.93 A resolution. two forms refined independently crystallographic R-factors 17.6% (pH 5.5) 17.5% 9.0). conformational transition previously attributed protonation/deprotonation residue His35 (pKa(red) = 7.3, pKa(ox) 6.2), which lies crevice protein close copper binding site, involves concomitant Pro36-Gly37 main-chain peptide bond flip. At lower pH, protonated imidazole N delta 1 strong hydrogen with carbonyl oxygen Pro36, while alkaline deprotonated acts as an acceptor weak HN Gly37. remainder molecule, including is not significantly affected this transition.
