Table 3. Tabulated Rate Constants for Haem to T1Cu Electron Transfer in Native RpNiR, the Natural 2-Component AxNiR-Axcytc551, and the Reverse Engineered Constituent RpNiR Proteinsa.
| CuNiR construct | k (mM–1 s–1) | kobs (s–1) |
|---|---|---|
| WT RpNiR | n/a | 16.8 ± 0.2 |
| WT AxNiR and WT Axcyt c551 | 2.6 ± 0.1 | 0.26–26b |
| RpNiR-core and RpNiR cyt c | 0.9 ± 0.1 | 0.09–9b |
Data are shown ± error of fit.
kobs was calculated for the 2-component systems by multiplying the second-order rate constants (k) by the average protein concentrations found within Gram-negative bacteria (0.1–10 μM).
