Abstract excerpt
By using site-directed mutagenesis of recombinant sperm whale (SW) myoglobin, the native distal histidine residue, at position 64 (the helical position E7), has been replaced with a tyrosine. The mutation of His64Tyr SW myoglobin has an analogous heme iron electronic structure as that of native hemoglobins M Boston and M Saskatoon. Optical spectroscopy showed that the distal tyrosine bound to the heme iron had a...
