Abstract excerpt
Myoglobin (Mb) is used as a model system for other heme proteins and the reactions they catalyze. The latest novel function to be proposed for myoglobin is a P450 type hydroxylation activity of aromatic carbons (Watanabe, Y., and Ueno, T. (2003) Bull. Chem. Soc. Jpn. 76, 1309-1322). Because Mb does not contain a specific substrate binding site for aromatic compounds near the heme, an engineered tryptophan in the...
