Abstract excerpt
A number of surface residues of plastocyanin from Prochlorothrix hollandica have been modified by site-directed mutagenesis. Changes have been made in amino acids located in the amino-terminal hydrophobic patch of the copper protein, which presents a variant structure as compared with other plastocyanins. The single mutants Y12G, Y12F, Y12W, P14L, and double mutant Y12G/P14L have been produced. Their reactivity...
