Proteins tune the reactivity of metal sites; less understood is the impact of association with a redox partner. We demonstrate the utility of carbon-deuterium labels for selective analysis of delicate metal sites. Introduced into plastocyanin, they reveal substantial strengthening of the key Cu-Cys89 bond upon association with cytochrome .
蛋白质调节金属位点的反应性;与之结合的氧化还原伴侣的影响则知之甚少。我们展示了碳-氘标记用于选择性分析精细金属位点的效用。将其引入到质体蓝素中,发现与细胞色素 c 结合后关键的 Cu-Cys89 键显著增强。
