Component B binding to the soluble methane monooxygenase hydroxylase by saturation-recovery EPR spectroscopy of spin-labeled MMOB

J Am Chem Soc. 2002 Nov 13;124(45):13392-3. doi: 10.1021/ja0279904.

Abstract

Spin-labeled Cys89 of the soluble methane monooxygenase regulatory protein (MMOB) from Methylococcus capsulatus (Bath) binds within 15 +/- 4 A of the hydroxylase (MMOH) diiron center, placing the MMOB docking site in the MMOH "canyon" region on iron-coordinating helices E and F of the alpha-subunit.
