Abstract excerpt
The structural and functional consequences of engineering a positively charged Lys residue and replacing the natural heme with a heme-L-His derivative in the active site of sperm whale myoglobin (Mb) have been investigated. The main structural change caused by the distal T67K mutation appears to be mobilization of the propionate-7 group. Reconstitution of wild-type and T67K Mb with heme-L-His relaxes the protein...
