| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Heme oxygenase catalyzes the degradation of heme. Heme oxygenase has been well characterized and revealed its heme binding mode in detail. In this study, we elucidated dynamics of Heme oxygenase by relaxation dispersion NMR spectroscopy, and detected structural fluctuation of a loop between C- and D-helices located on the surface. Thus far, the loop region has not been paid attention to, because it is located on the protein surface and far from the heme-binding site. Hence, we analyzed and characterized Leu77 and Phe79 which were the fluctuated amino acid residues in the loop.
