“…Studies of the cytf-PC reaction in vitro have suggested a substantial role for electrostatic interactions between the reactants (Morand et al, 1989;He et al, 1991;Modi et al, 1992a,b;Kostic, 1992, 1993;Meyer et al, 1993;Gross, 1993;Wagner et al, 1996;Kannt et al, 1996). Electrostatic effects were also observed in reactions of PC with different cytochromes (e.g., Peery and Kostic, 1989;Bagby et al, 1990b;Nordling et al, 1990;Roberts et al, 1991; Peery et al, 1991;Meyer et al, 1993;Qin and Kostic', 1996) and with photosystem I (Haehnel et al, 1994;Farah et al, 1995;Sigfridsson et al, 1996;Drepper et al, 1996). The structural data show the existence of two patches of negatively charged residues on the PC surface, viz., Asp-42 and -44, and, for the second patch, Glu-59 and -60 and Asp-61 (Guss and Freeman, 1983; domains.…”
