The catalytic metal binding site of xylose isomerase from Arthrobacter B3728 was modified by protein engineering to diminish the inhibitory effect of Ca 21 and to study the competence of metals on catalysis. To exclude Ca 21 from Site 2 a double mutant D254E/D256E was designed with reduced space ava

✦ Synopsis
It is demonstrated that the upper Hubbard band (UHB) can play an important role in the hopping conductivity; 2D geometry and vicinity of the metal-insulator transition emphasize this role. A simple model for the recently observed metal-insulator transition is suggested. The model starts from the insulating limit and implies a principal role of the UHB. It gives a qualitative explanation for most of the features of the transition. The quantitative analysis of MR in the strongly insulating limit leads to values of g-factors in good agreement with the known values.
