Abstract excerpt
Redox-induced protonation state changes of the Glu residue in the multicopper oxidases, CueO and bilirubin oxidase (BO), were studied by attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. By monitoring IR bands of the carboxylic acid C=O stretch in the wild-type and Glu-to-Gln mutant enzymes the Glu506 of CueO (Glu463 of BO) was found to be unprotonated in the oxidised and protonated in the...
