M. Takeguchi et al., Electron spin-echo envelope modulation studies on copper site of particulate methane monooxygenase from Methylosinus trichosporium OB3b, CHEM LETT, (7), 1999, pp. 617-618
The electron spin-echo envelope modulation (ESEEM) effect was studied on th
e type II copper site in the particulate methane monooxygenase (pMMO) from
Methylosinus trichosporium OB3b. From comparing the ESEEM spectra of the me
mbranes treated with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and some model compoun
ds, it was clarified that there were at least two imidazole ligands bound c
opper (II) in pMMO.
