Abstract excerpt
CO recombination to the cloned cytochrome c peroxidase [CCP(MI)] and mutants of CCP(MI) prepared by site-directed mutagenesis was examined as a function of pH by flash photolysis. The mutants examined included distal Arg 48----Leu, Lys; proximal Asp 235----Asn; and His 181----Gly. At alkaline pH, ferrous CCP(MI) was converted to a hexacoordinate form by a cooperative two-proton ionization, apparent pK(a) = 8.0....
