Abstract
⺠The neuroglobins (Ngb) of Xenopus, Danio and icefish, were studied using EPR. ⺠The effect of the different Cys residues present was studied. ⺠Reduction of the disulfide bond does not change heme pocket structure in fish Ngb. ⺠Mutation of Cys residues in Xenopus resulted in an altered heme structure. ⺠The amphibian Ngb is more resistant to H2O2-induced denaturation than other Ngbs.
