Abstract excerpt
This study summarizes results which have been obtained by a mutational study of human cytochrome c. The protein can be used as a recognition element in analytical assays and biosensors for superoxide radicals since ferricytochrome c reacts with superoxide to form ferrocytochrome c and oxygen. Here lysine mutagenesis of the distal surface (i.e., of exposed residues around the Met80 axial ligand) of human...
