Abstract excerpt
The heme iron in cytochrome c-550 from Thiobacillus versutus has a methionine and a histidine as axial ligands. In order to study the characteristics of a possible lysine-histidine ligation in a heme protein, the methionine has been replaced by a lysine. This residue acts as a ligand between pH 3 and 12. The midpoint potential of the mutant has shifted -329 mV compared to wild type, but apart from this shift the...
