Resumen:
Stellacyanin
from Rhus vernicifera is a blue copper protein in which the metal is
coordinated to a Cys, two His and a Gln residue. We have studied the Ni(II) derivative
of stellacyanin by paramagnetic 1H NMR spectroscopy. The NMR spectrum
resembles that of Ni(II) Met121Gln azurin, indicating a similar coordination
environment. The hyperfine signals were assigned by means of 1D and 2D NOE
spectroscopy. Evidence is obtained which indicates that the Gln residue is
bound to the metal through its oxygen atom.
