The recent discovery of H-NOX domains has provided a model system to investigate the role of porphyrin pi-stacking within a heme protein scaffold. Removal of a phenylalanine-porphyrin pi-stack dramatically increased O2, NO, and CO affinities and caused changes in redox potential (~40mV) without any structural changes. These results suggest that small changes in redox potential affect ligand affinity and that pi-stacking may provide a novel route to engineer heme protein properties for new functions.
