Alteration of kinetic mechanism of electron transfer by site-directed mutagenesis
| Electron transfer reaction | Reaction rate at 30° C (s−1) | λ (eV) | HAB (cm−1) | Kinetic mechanism | Reference |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MADH to amicyanin | 9.8 | 2.3 ± 1 | 12 ± 7 | True | 93 |
| MADH to M51A amicyanin | 1.3 | 3.1 ± 1 | 142 ± 20 | Gated | 87 |
| Amicyanin to cytochrome c-551i | 87 | 1.2 ± 1 | 0.3 ± 0.1 | True | 14 |
| P94A amicyanin to cytochrome c-551i | 0.4 | 2.3 ± 1 | 8.3 ± 5.5 | Coupled | 86 |
The reactions rates and the parameters which were altered by the change in kinetic mechanism are highlighted in red.
