Abstract excerpt
Pseudoazurin (a blue copper protein or cupredoxin) of a denitrifying bacterium Alcaligenes faecalis S-6 is a direct electron carrier for a Cu-containing nitrite reductase (NIR) of the same organism. Site-directed mutagenesis of the pseudoazurin was carried out using an Escherichia coli expression system. Replacement of Tyr74 by Phe to remove an internal hydrogen bond in the beta-barrel caused a slight decrease in...
