The 3D structure of the apo-pseudoazurin (copper free pseudoazurin) from Alcaligenes faecalis strain S-6 is determined and refined at pH 6.7 using X-ray diffraction data to 1.85 A resolution. The final crystallographic R-factor is 0.164. Comparing the structures of apo-pseudoazurin and the native (Cu2+) protein, we observed limited differences ranging between 0.1-0.4 A at the vicinity of the copper site, at the loops connecting the secondary structural elements, at certain beta-strands and at the amino and carboxy termini of the protein.

D000421 Alcaligenes A genus of gram-negative, aerobic, motile bacteria that occur in water and soil. Some are common inhabitants of the intestinal tract of vertebrates. These bacteria occasionally cause opportunistic infections in humans.
D001400 Azurin A bacterial protein from Pseudomonas, Bordetella, or Alcaligenes which operates as an electron transfer unit associated with the cytochrome chain. The protein has a molecular weight of approximately 16,000, contains a single copper atom, is intensively blue, and has a fluorescence emission band centered at 308nm.
