Abstract excerpt
Cys-59 and Cys-62, forming a disulfide bond in the four-residue loop of Shewanella violacea cytochrome c (5) (SV cytc (5)), contribute to protein stability but not to redox function. These Cys residues were substituted with Ala in SV cytc (5), and the structural and functional properties of the resulting C59A/C62A variant were determined and compared with those of the wild-type. The variant had similar features...
