Modulation of heme function by genetic modification of the active site of horse heart myoglobin

Site-directed mutagenesis has been used to construct variants of horse heart myoglobin to probe the structural contributions of specific amino acid residues in the active site of this protein. In particular four groups of variants were examined: (i) The proximal histidine (H93) ligand to the heme...
