Sulfite Oxidase Active Site: Tryptophan's Importance


Tryptophan has been shown as a crucial amino acid that can facilitate electron transfer. A paper written by Shih C (Shih C, Museth AK, Abrahamsson M, Blanco-Rodriguez AM, Di Bilio AJ, Sudhamsu J, Crane BR, Ronayne KL, Towrie M, Vlcek A Jr, Richards JH, Winkler JR, Gray HB. Science. 2008. 320, 1760-1762.) suggests that multi-step electron tunneling can enhance charge transfer rates, in which redox active amino acid side chains act as intermediate donors or acceptors.
