33. Although P-450 possesses a thiol group as the apical ligand, Watanabe et al. have reported that a myoglobin mutant that has an imidazole group as the apical ligand shows comparable activity to P-450, and they have proposed that an intermediary hydroperoxo species is converted to the corresponding oxo species due to a synergis tic push-pull effect of the apical imidazole and distal histidine groups (see ref. [10g]).
