Comparison of the dynamic consequences has revealed the crucial role of HPGG in assembling the heine group of cytochrome b5 and in modulating protein structure, property and function.展开更多
By retaining the native distal His64 in sperm whale myoglobin (Mb), a second distal histidine was engineered in Mb by mutating Leu29 to His29.

The resultant mutant of L29H Mb exhibits an unusual enhanced peroxidase activity with a positive cooperativity in comparison to that of wild type Mb. The new enzyme with two cooperative distal histidines has not been found in native peroxidase, which emohasizes a creation of the rational nmt^in doclan展开更多
