Abstract excerpt
A gene mutant library containing 16 designed mutated genes at His39 of cytochrome b(5) has been constructed by using gene random mutagenesis. Two variants of cytochrome b(5), His39Ser and His39Cys mutant proteins, have been obtained. Protein characterizations and reactions were performed showing that these two mutants have distinct heme coordination environments: ferric His39Ser mutant is a high-spin species...
