title: Hydrogen bond network of cytochrome P-450cam: a network connecting the heme group with helix K.
abstract: During investigations of the structural character of a mutant P-450cam where Glu-286 is replaced with lysine, we obtained evidence of a hydrogen bond network between helix K and the heme group via helix L of P-450cam. This mutant protein loses the ability to maintain the heme group in a proper position, possibly due to a break in the hydrogen bond network.
