Abstract excerpt
One of the two [4Fe-4S]-type clusters of the Rhodobacter capsulatus ferredoxin I, FdxN, was modified through site-specific mutagenesis of the distinctive features of the second cluster-binding motif, Cys38-X2-Cys41-X8-Cys50-X3-Cys54-X4-Cys59. First, various mutagenized products were tested to lea...
