Abstract excerpt
Sco-like proteins contain copper bound by two cysteines and a histidine residue. Although their function is still incompletely understood, there is a clear involvement with the assembly of cytochrome oxidases that contain the Cu(A) center in subunit 2, possibly mediating the transfer of copper into the Cu(A) binuclear site. We are investigating the reaction chemistry of BSco, the homologue from Bacillus subtilis....
