Abstract
Autoreduction of Cucumis sativus plastocyanin and Pseudomonas aeruginosa azurin took place at alkaline pHs, having been accompanied by the decrease in the intensities of the charge transfer band, Cys-S−(π) → Cu(II) at 597 and 626 nm, and the Cu(II)-EPR signals with small AII values of 6.5 × 10−3 and 5.3 × 10−3 cm−1 for plastocyanin and azurin, respectively. Further, an extra Cu(II)-EPR signal with a large AII value of 21 × 10−3 cm−1 also reversibly emerged with increasing pH. Plastocyanin and azurin are in an equilibrium of the three forms at alkaline pHs.
