Role of the Triplet State and Protein Dynamics in the Formation and Stability of the Tryptophan Radical in an Apoazurin Mutant

[Image: see text] The protein, azurin, has enabled the study of the tryptophan radical. Upon UV excitation of tyrosine-deficient apoazurin and in the presence of a Co(III) electron acceptor, the neutral radical (W48•) is formed. The lifetime of W48• in apoazurin is 41 s, which is shorter than the li...
