Abstract excerpt
In the family of small blue-copper proteins azurins are unique in that they contain a disulfide bridge close to the amino-terminal end. It is situated in the 'south' side of the molecule, about 25 A away from the copper. Site-specific mutagenesis was used to exchange one or both of the cysteines in the bridge for serines in Pseudomonas aeruginosa azurin. In the double mutant Cys3Ser-Cys26Ser the Type 1 Cu is...
