“…One of the signals is in good agreement with an almost linear structure with two coordinating thiolates, as expected, possibly with a weak ligand in the equatorial plane, such as carbonyl oxygen, suggested to be from Ser77 (high frequency signal, top panel, Figure 7). The other signal indicated a higher coordination number, thus im- 111 Ag PAC was applied to characterize the CueR metal binding site [32,33], see Figure 7, and the decay of 111 Ag to 111 Cd(II) provided a means to elucidate the effect of instantaneously changing from Ag(I), which activates the protein function, to Cd(II), which does not. Contrary to the rigid small blue copper proteins, vide supra, significant structural changes are induced at the CueR metal site by the Ag(I) to Cd(II) transition.…”
