Role of K(+) binding residues in stabilization of heme spin state of Leishmania major peroxidase.

Abstract excerpt

The endogenous cation in peroxidases may contribute to the type of heme coordination. Here a series of ferric and ferrous derivatives of wild-type Leishmania major peroxidase (LmP) and of engineered K(+) site mutants of LmP, lacking potassium cation binding site, has been examined by electronic absorption spectroscopy at 25°C. Using UV-visible spectrophotometry, we show that the removal of K(+) binding site...
