Tyrosine-96 as a natural spectroscopic probe of the cytochrome P-450cam active site.
Biochemistry - 6 Feb 1990
Atkins W M, Sligar S G
Abstract excerpt
The previously described correlation between the ferric spin equilibrium of cytochrome P-450cam and the environmental polarity of tyrosine residues (Fisher et al., 1986) has been further examined with the use of site-directed mutagenesis and active-site affinity reagents. Whereas the wild-type demonstrates an increase in environmental polarity of approximately one tyrosine residue, the mutant protein Y96F, in...
