physiological function | in order to act as a phenol oxidase, a T4 copper atom must be in place to mediate electron transfer between the buried T1 copper center and the organic substrates. The lability of this copper center restricts optimal phenol oxidase activity to the micro- to nanomolar concentration range for available Cuaq2+. This suggests that CueO cannot function as a phenol oxidase in vivo | Escherichia coli |
