Abstract excerpt
The effect of D-H...S(gamma)-Fe hydrogen bonding on the reduction potential of rubredoxin was investigated by the introduction of an O-H...S(gamma)-Fe hydrogen bond on the surface of Pyrococcus abyssi rubredoxin. The formation of a weak hydrogen bond between Ser44-O(gamma) and Cys42-S(gamma) in mutant W4L/R5S/A44S increased the reduction potential by 56 mV. When side effects of the mutation were taken into...
