Hypersensitivity (Allergy) 03/07/1995 - "Substitution of the alpha-histidine-195 residue by glutamine also imparts to the altered MoFe protein hypersensitivity of both its acetylene reduction and N2 binding to inhibition by CO, indicating that the imidazole group of the alpha-histidine-195 residue might protect an Fe contained within the FeMo-cofactor from attack by CO.
