Abstract excerpt
Aiming to achieve stable immobilization for a redox-active cupredoxin protein onto a gold substrate and its consequent molecular level monitoring by Scanning Tunnelling Microscopy (STM), we introduced a disulphide bridge within poplar plastocyanin, while avoiding the perturbation of its active site. We selected and modified residues Ile-21 to Cys and Glu-25 to Cys by structurally conservative mutagenesis. Optical...
