Abstract excerpt
Lignolytic peroxidases use an electron transfer (ET) pathway that involves amino acid-mediated substrate oxidation at the surface of the protein rather than at an embedded heme site. In many of these peroxidases, redox catalysis takes place at a substrate accessible tyrosine or tryptophan (Trp) amino acid. Here, we describe new mutants of cytochrome c peroxidase (CcP) that were designed to incorporate a Trp-based...
