Abstract excerpt
Azurin has a beta-barrel fold comprising eight beta-strands and one alpha helix. A disulfide bond between residues 3 and 26 connects the N-termini of beta strands beta1 and beta3. Three mutant proteins lacking the disulfide bond were constructed, C3A/C26A, C3A/C26I and a putative salt bridge (SB) in the C3A/S25R/C26A/K27R mutant. All three mutants exhibit spectroscopic properties similar to the wild-type protein....
