J Inorg Biochem 2023; 246:112292.

Abstract
The rational structural and computational studies of a blue copper protein, pseudoazurin (PAz), and its Met16X (X = Phe, Leu, Val, Ile) variants gave clear functional meanings of the noncovalent interaction (NCI) through the second coordination sphere. The high-resolution X-ray crystal structures of Met16X PAz demonstrated that the active site geometry is significantly affected by the substitution of Met16, which is located within the NCI distance from the His81 imidazole ring at the copper active site. The computational chemistry calculations based on the crystal structure analyses confirmed that the NCI of S-π/CH-π (wild-type), π-π (Met16Phe), double CH-π (Met16Leu), and single CH-π (Met16Val and Met16Ile). The estimated interaction energies for the NCI demonstrated that the fine-tuning of the protein stability and Cu site properties form the second coordination sphere of PAz.

Abstract
Noncovalent, weak interactions in the second coordination sphere of the copper active site of Pseudoazurin (PAz) from Achromobacter cycloclastes were examined using a series of Met16X variants. In this study, the differences in protein stability due to the changes in the nature of the 16th amino acid (Met, Phe, Val, Ile) were investigated by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) and far-UV circular dichroism (CD) as a result of acid denaturation. The percentage of native states (folded holo forms) of Met16Phe variants was estimated to be 75% at pH 2.9 although the wild-type (WT), Met16Val and Met16Ile PAz, became completely unfolded. The high stability under acidic conditions is correlated with the result of the active site being stabilized by the aromatic substitution of the Met16 residue. The π-π interaction in the second coordination sphere makes a significant contribution to the stability of active site and the protein matrix.
