Abstract excerpt
The F43W/H64L myoglobin mutant was previously constructed to investigate the effects of electron-rich tryptophan residue in the heme vicinity on the catalysis, where we found that Trp-43 in the mutant was oxidatively modified in the reaction with m-chloroperbenzoic acid (mCPBA). To identify the exact structure of the modified tryptophan in this study, the mCPBA-treated F43W/H64L mutant has been digested stepwise...
