Abstract excerpt
We have investigated CO migration and binding in CuBMb, a copper-binding myoglobin double mutant (L29H-F43H), by using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and flash photolysis over a wide temperature range. This mutant was originally engineered with the aim to mimic the catalytic site of heme-copper oxidases. Comparison of the wild-type protein Mb and CuBMb shows that the copper ion in the distal pocket gives...
