Abstract excerpt
The distal histidine mutations of dehaloperoxidase-hemoglobin A (DHP A) to aspartate (H55D) and asparagine (H55N) have been prepared to study the role played by the distal histidine in both activation and protection against oxidation by radicals in heme proteins. The H55D and H55N mutants of DHP A have ~6-fold and ~11-fold lower peroxidase activities than wild type enzyme toward the oxidation of...
