Abstract excerpt
Variants of sperm whale myoglobin (Mb) were used to assess the mechanism of heme protein-mediated lipid oxidation in washed cod muscle. A myoglobin variant with high hemin affinity (V68T) was an exceptionally poor promoter of lipid oxidation, while a Mb variant with low hemin affinity (H97A) was a potent promoter of lipid oxidation. V68T releases hemin slowly due to the ability of threonine to hydrogen bond with...
