Abstract excerpt
Sulfite oxidase (SO) is a molybdoheme enzyme that is important in sulfur catabolism, and mutations in the active site region are known to cause SO deficiency disorder in humans. This investigation probes the effects that mutating aromatic residues (Y273, W338, and H337) in the molybdenum-containing domain of human SO have on both the intramolecular electron transfer (IET) rate between the molybdenum and iron...
