Figure 5.
Figure 5. (a) Metal insertion into N-MeMP in the presence and in the absence of enzyme. The relative intensity of mass spectral signals showing Cu(II) insertion into N-MeMP in solution in the absence (circles) and in the presence (squares) of B. subtilis ferrochelatase is shown. Zn(II) insertion in the presence of ferrochelatase is shown as triangles. (b) Cu(II) insertion into N-MeMP in the presence of B. subtilis ferrochelatase mutants H183C (diamonds) and Y13F (triangles), compared to metallation by the wild-type enzyme (squares).
