Abstract excerpt
Structural and biochemical characterization of aspartate 152 at the distal heme side of catalase-peroxidase (KatG) from Synechocystis PCC 6803 reveals an important functional role for this residue. In the wild-type protein, the side chain carboxyl group of Asp152 is 7.8 A apart from the heme iron and is hydrogen-bonded to two water molecules and a KatG-specific large loop. We have prepared the site-specific...
