Oxidation-reduction reactions of the blue copper proteinrusticyanin from Thiobacillus ferrooxidans have been investigated. Cyclic voltammetry using a 4, 4'-bipyridyl-modified carbon-paste electrodegives a reduction potential of 0.67 V (vs. NHE) for the protein, independent of pH in the range 1-3. Kinetic studies of the reduction of the copper (II) form of rusticyanin by iron (II) show anion effects. The dependence of reaction rate on iron (II) concentration Is first order in chloride media but shows limiting zero-order kinetics in the presence of sulfate ion. The absence of inhibition by cobalt (II) ion suggests that this is due to a rate-limiting protein conformational change. Although the reaction with iron (II) is slow, it is not inconsistent with an interaction of physiological importance. In contrast, reduction by chromium (II) is rapid and comparable with reactions of other blue copper proteins.
