Abstract excerpt
Neuronal PAS domain protein 2, which was recently established to be a heme protein, acts as a CO-dependent transcription factor. The protein consists of the basic helix-loop-helix domain and two heme-containing PAS domains (PAS-A and PAS-B). In this study, we prepared wild type and mutants of the isolated PAS-A domain and measured resonance Raman spectra of these proteins. Upon excitation of the Raman spectrum at...
