... of propionates of heme, was mutated to Tyr,and the thermodynamic and kinetic properties of the mutant (F166Y) werecompared with those of the wild -type (WT) enzyme. The mid-pointpotential of ... because of the weaker domain interaction of this mutant enzyme. The F166Y mutant is, however,useful for monitoring the electron transfer step of CDH, because the mutation affects only the electrontransfer ... full understanding of the redox reaction of CDH, the reduction mechanism of the electron accep-tor should be clarified. However, several groups haveproposed two possible mechanisms for this...
