Neutral thiol as a proximal ligand to ferrous heme iron: Implications for heme proteins that lose cysteine thiolate ligation on reduction

Cysteine plays a key role as a metal ligand in metalloproteins. In all well-recognized cases, however, it is the anionic cysteinate that coordinates. Several cysteinate-ligated heme proteins are known, but some fail to retain thiolate ligation in the ferrous state, possibly following protonation to...
