Reduction of plastocyanin (PC) caused a change in the electric field at the surface of the molecule which resulted in a 0.3 pH unit increase in the pK of a nitrated derivative of Tyr 83. This change in electrical potential could alter the affinity for cytochrome f which is known to bind at this site. Conversely, properties of the copper center, including the pH dependence of the reduction potential, are regulated by the charge on the surface of the molecule. Both the reduction potential and conformation (as measured by near-UV circular dichroic spectra) were pH dependent. Thus the conformation and electrostatic behavior of PC are dependent on oxidiation state, pH and surface charge, raising the possibility that its redox activity is controlled by the pH gradient.
