Stereochemistry and deuterium isotope effects in camphor hydroxylation by the cytochrome P450cam monoxygenase system.

abstract：:Pyrrolidone carboxyl peptidases (PCPs) from hyperthermophiles have a structurally conserved and completely buried Glu192 in the hydrophobic core; in contrast, the corresponding residue in the mesophile protein is a hydrophobic residue, Ile. Does the buried ionizable residue contribute to stabilization or destabilizati...
