Abstract excerpt
The electron-donating properties of the axial His ligand to heme iron in cytochromes c (cyts c) are found to be correlated with the midpoint reduction potential (E(m)) in variants of Hydrogenobacter thermophilus cytochrome c(552) (Ht cyt c(552)) in which mutations have been made in and near the Cys-X-X-Cys-His (CXXCH) heme-binding motif. To probe the strength of the His-Fe(III) interaction, we have measured (13)C...
