The Key to the Extraordinary Thermal Stability of P. furiosus Holo-Rubredoxin: Iron Binding-Guided Packing of a Core Aromatic Cluster Responsible for High Kinetic Stability of the Native Structure
Pyrococcus furiosus rubredoxin (PfRd), a small, monomeric, 53 residues-long, iron-containing, electron-transfer protein of known structure is sometimes referred to as being the most structurally-stable protein known to man. Here, using a combination of mutational and spectroscopic (CD, fluorescence...
