Abstract excerpt
To investigate the contribution of tryptophan-121 (Trp121) residue to the structure and function of soluble CuA domain of cytochrome c oxidase, three mutant proteins, Trp121Tyr, Trp121Leu and Trp121-deleted mutant of the soluble domain of Paracoccus versutus cytochrome c oxidase, were constructed and expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3). Optical spectral studies showed that both the coordination structure of...
