Abstract excerpt
Azurin is a cupredoxin, which functions as an electron carrier. Its fold is dominated by a beta-sheet structure. In the present study, azurin serves as a model system to investigate the importance of a conserved disulphide bond for protein stability and folding/unfolding. For this purpose, we have examined two azurin mutants, the single mutant Cys3Ser, which disrupts azurin's conserved disulphide bond, and the...
