Structural studies of two mutants of amicyanin from Paracoccus denitrificans that stabilize the reduced state of the copper.

Abstract excerpt

Mutation of Pro94 to phenylalanine or alanine significantly alters the redox properties of the type I copper center of amicyanin. Each mutation increases the redox midpoint potential (E(m)) value by at least 140 mV and shifts the pK(a) for the pH dependence of the E(m) value to a more acidic value. Atomic resolution (0.99-1.1 A) structures of both the P94F and P94A amicyanin have been determined in the oxidized...
