Structure-based engineering of Alcaligenes xylosoxidans copper-containing nitrite reductase enhances intermolecular electron transfer reaction with pseudoazurin.

Abstract excerpt

The intermolecular electron transfer from Achromobacter cycloclastes pseudoazurin (AcPAZ) to wild-type and mutant Alcaligenes xylosoxidans nitrite reductases (AxNIRs) was investigated using steady-state kinetics and electrochemical methods. The affinity and the electron transfer reaction constant (k(ET)) are considerably lower between AcPAZ and AxNIR (K(m) = 1.34 mM and k(ET) = 0.87 x 10(5) M(-1) s(-1)) than...
