CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF HIS143MET RUSTICYANIN

Overview

Rusticyanin from the extremophile Thiobacillus ferrooxidans is a blue, copper protein with unusually high redox potential and acid stability. We, present the crystal structures of native rusticyanin and of its Cu site, mutant His143Met at 1.27 and 1.10 A, respectively. The very high, resolution of these structures allows a direct comparison with EXAFS data, and with quantum chemical models of the oxidized and reduced forms of the, proteins, based upon both isolated and embedded clusters and density, functional theory (DFT) methods. We further predict the structure of the, Cu(II) form of the His143Met mutant which has been experimentally, inaccessible due to its very high redox potential. We also present, metrical EXAFS data and quantum chemical calculations for the oxidized and, reduced ... [(full description)]
