(Received for publication, December 26,
1995; and in revised form, February 12, 1996) Enzymatic and electron transfer activities have been studied by
polarized absorption spectroscopy in single crystals of both binary and
ternary complexes of methylamine dehydrogenase (MADH) with its redox
partners. Within the crystals, MADH oxidizes methylamine, and the
electrons are passed from the reduced tryptophan tryptophylquinone
(TTQ) cofactor to the copper of amicyanin and to the heme of cytochrome c

via amicyanin. The equilibrium distribution
of electrons among the cofactors, and the rate of heme reduction after
reaction with substrate, are both dependent on pH. The presence of
copper in the ternary complex is not absolutely required for electron
transfer from TTQ to heme, but its presence greatly enhances the rate
of electron flow to the heme.
