The structure of plastocyanin tunes the midpoint potential by restricting axial ligation of the reduced copper ion
Abstract Blue copper proteins are models for illustrating how proteins tune metal properties. Nevertheless, the mechanisms by which the protein controls the metal site remain to be fully elucidated. A hindrance is that the closed shell Cu(I) site is inaccessible to most spectroscopic analyses. Carbo...
