Abstract excerpt
The N-terminal tyrosine of cytochrome f, which provides the sixth ligand to the heme group, has been changed by site-directed mutagenesis in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii to evaluate the role of this amino acid in assembly and function. The second and third residues, proline and valine, respectively, have also been mutated. Y1P is the only strain that did not grow photoautotrophically. The other strains show...
