Abstract excerpt
The redox potential of cytochromes sets the energy yield possible in metabolism and is also a key determinant of the rate at which redox reactions proceed. Here, the heme protein, cytochrome b(562), is used to study the in vitro evolution of redox potential within a library of variants containing the same structural archetype, the four-helix bundle. Multisite variations in the active site of cytochrome b(562)...
