Distal heme pocket regulation of ligand binding and stability in soybean leghemoglobin.

Proteins - 1 Feb 2003

Kundu Suman, Hargrove Mark S

Abstract excerpt

Leghemoglobins facilitate diffusion of oxygen through root tissue to a bacterial terminal oxidase in much the same way that myoglobin transports oxygen from blood to muscle cell mitochondria. Leghemoglobin serves an additional role as an oxygen scavenger to prevent inhibition of nitrogen fixation. For this purpose, the oxygen affinity of soybean leghemoglobin is 20-fold greater than myoglobin, resulting from an...
