Abstract excerpt
Evolutionary links between type 1 blue copper (T1 Cu), type 2 red copper (T2 Cu), and purple Cu(A) cupredoxins have been proposed, but the structural features and mechanism responsible for such links as well as for assembly of Cu(A) sites in vivo are poorly understood, even though recent evidence demonstrated that the Cu(II) oxidation state plays an important role in this process. In this study, we examined the...
