2ux7
PSEUDOAZURIN WITH ENGINEERED AMICYANIN LIGAND LOOP, REDUCED FORM, PH 7.5
|
OverviewOverview
Atomic resolution structures of the pseudoazurin (PAZ) variant into which, the shorter ligand-containing loop of amicyanin (AMI) is introduced have, been determined. The mutated loop adopts a different conformation in, PAZAMI than in AMI. The copper site structure is affected, with the major, influence being an increased axial interaction resulting in the shortest, Cu(II)-S(Met) bond observed for the cupredoxin family of electron-transfer, proteins. This is accompanied by a lengthening of the important Cu-S(Cys), bond and enhanced tetragonal distortion, consistent with the influence of, the PAZAMI loop contraction on the UV/vis spectrum. The change in active, site geometry is the major cause of the 50 mV decrease in reduction, potential. The copper site structure changes very little upon ... [(full description)]
