Copper nitrite reductases contain both an electron-transfer type 1 Cu site and a catalytic type 2 Cu site. We have mutated one of the type 2 copper ligating histidines to observe the effect on catalytic turnover. This mutation has created a unique site where Cu is ligated by 2 His Nepsilon2 atoms alone.
亚硝酸铜还原酶同时含有一个电子传递型1铜位点和一个催化型2铜位点。我们将其中一个与2型铜配位的组氨酸进行了突变,以观察其对催化周转的影响。这种突变产生了一个独特的位点,在该位点上铜仅由两个组氨酸的Nε2原子配位。
