As a main component of respiratory chain in living system, cytochrome b5 is a low spin electron-transfer hemo protein that carries out a variety of important physiological functions and has been extensively studied by biochemical and biophysical methods. To probe the structural and functional importance of the residue Pro40 in the hydrophobic patch of cytochrome b5 surface, this paper studied its mutant P40V by using modern 1D and 2D 1H NMR techniques to examine its heme environment changes resulting from the mutation from P40 to V40.

Key words: cytochrome b5, P40V, heme, NMR
