Abstract
Complete assignments of the electronic spectra of stellacyanin, plastocyanin, and azurin have been made. Bands attributable to d-d transitions have been located in the near-infrared region for the first time, and their positions are consistent with a distorted tetrahedral geometry for the blue copper center. The kinetics of the electron transfer reactions of stellacyanin, azurin, and plastocyanin with Fe(EDTA)^(2-) and Co(phen)_3^(3+) have been studied. Kinetic parameters indicate that reduction of azurin and plastocyanin by Fe(EDTA)^(2-) occurs by long distance transfer to a buried blue copper center. However, the pathway for oxidation involves substantial protein rearrangement, thereby allowing contact of Co(phen)_3^(3+) with the copper ligands. In contrast, the blue copper center of stellacyanin is equally accessible in solution to redox agents.
