Journal ArticleDOI
Isolation and characterization of desulforedoxin, a new type of non-heme iron protein from Desulfovibrio gigas
TL;DR: Desulfovibrio gigas desulforedoxin is a new type of non-heme iron protein of molecular weight 7,900 that contains two iron atoms, no labile sulfide and eight cysteine residues per molecule.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mössbauer and EPR studies of desulforedoxin from Desulfovibrio gigas.
Journal ArticleDOI
The mechanism of formate oxidation by metal-dependent formate dehydrogenases
Cristiano Mota,Maria G. Rivas,Carlos D. Brondino,Isabel Moura,José J. G. Moura,Pablo J. González,Nuno M. F. S. A. Cerqueira +6 more
TL;DR: The authors' studies indicate that the C–H bond break is an event involved in the rate-limiting step of the catalytic cycle of Fdh, and the role in catalysis of conserved amino acid residues involved in metal coordination and near the metal active site is discussed on the basis of experimental and theoretical results.
Journal ArticleDOI
Core dimensions in the 3Fe cluster of Desulfovibrio gigas ferredoxin II by extended X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy.
Mark R. Antonio,Bruce A. Averill,Isabel Moura,José J. G. Moura,William H. Orme-Johnson,Boon-Keng Teo,António V. Xavier +6 more
TL;DR: Either the two 3Fe ferredoxins have substantially different core dimensions, a possibility apparently unique to 3Fe centers among known Fe-S systems in proteins, or that one (or more) of the structural studies is in substantial error.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecotoxicity tests in the environmental analysis of wastewater treatment plants: case study in Portugal.
E. Mendonça,Ana Picado,Susana M. Paixão,Luís Manuel Silva,Maria Ana Cunha,Sara Leitão,Isabel Moura,Cristina Cortez,Fátima Brito +8 more
TL;DR: Treated treatment plant effluent samples are associated with less organic contamination and less toxicity in ThamnoToxKit test, and chronic toxicity test and endocrine disruption assay indicated that, in a long term, potential population effects could arise in the receiving waters.
