Abstract excerpt
In the ligand channel of the cytochrome c oxidase from Rhodobacter sphaeroides (Rs aa3 ) W172 and F282 have been proposed to generate a constriction that may slow ligand access to and from the active site. To explore this issue, the tryptophan and phenylalanine residues in Rs aa3 were mutated to the less bulky tyrosine and threonine residues, respectively, which occupy these sites in Thermus thermophilus (Tt) ba3...
