	Since tryptophan is found in the active site of sulfite oxidase it is hypothesized that it plays a major role in the electron transfer rate of the enzyme. Currently, mutations of the tryptophan are being performed to see the effects that mutating the tryptophan with another amino acid, such as phenylalanine, will have on sulfite oxidase's electron transfer rate.
