The mechanism of autooxidation of myoglobin.

RE Brantley, SJ Smerdon, AJ Wilkinson… - Journal of Biological …, 1993 - ASBMB
Time courses for the autooxidation of native and mutant sperm whale and pig myoglobins
were measured at 37 degrees C in the presence of catalase and superoxide dismutase. In
sperm whale myoglobin, His64 (E7) was replaced with Gln, Gly, Ala, Val, Thr, Leu, and Phe;
Val68 (E11) was replaced with Ala, Ile, Leu, and Phe; Leu29 (B10) was replaced with Ala,
Val, and Phe. In pig myoglobin, His64 (E7) was replaced with Val; Val68 (E11) was replaced
with Thr and Ser; Thr67 (E10) was replaced with Ala, Val, Glu, and Arg; Lys45 (CD3) was …
