Journal ArticleDOI
Molybdenum and tungsten enzymes: the xanthine oxidase family.
TL;DR: Spectroscopic studies have provided an important amount of information on the characteristics of the active site and the electron transfer pathways of mononuclear Mo-containing enzymes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cytochrome c Nitrite Reductase from Desulfovibrio desulfuricans ATCC 27774: THE RELEVANCE OF THE TWO CALCIUM SITES IN THE STRUCTURE OF THE CATALYTIC SUBUNIT (NrfA) *
Carlos A. Cunha,Sofia Macieira,João M. Dias,Gabriela Almeida,Luísa L. Gonçalves,Cristina Costa,Jorge Lampreia,Robert Huber,José J. G. Moura,Isabel Moura,Maria João Romão +10 more
TL;DR: The gene encoding cytochrome cnitrite reductase (NrfA) from Desulfovibrio desulfuricansATCC 27774 was sequenced and the crystal structure of the enzyme was determined, suggesting that the calcium ion at the distal side of the active site in the NrfA enzymes may have a similar physiological role to that reported for the peroxidases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reduction of Carbon Dioxide by a Molybdenum-Containing Formate Dehydrogenase: A Kinetic and Mechanistic Study.
TL;DR: The ability of Desulfovibrio desulfuricans formate dehydrogenase (DdFDH) to reduce carbon dioxide was kinetically and mechanistically characterized and a kinetic model of a hysteretic enzyme is proposed to interpret and predict the progress curves of the Dd FDH-catalyzed reactions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence for selenocysteine coordination to the active site nickel in the [NiFeSe]hydrogenases from Desulfovibrio baculatus.
Marly K. Eidsness,Robert A. Scott,Benet C. Prickril,Daniel V. DerVartanian,Jean LeGall,Isabel Moura,José J. G. Moura,Harry D. Peck +7 more
TL;DR: Ni and Se x-ray absorption spectroscopic studies of the [NiFeSe]hydrogenases from Desulfovibrio baculatus are described and the possible role of the Ni-Se site in the catalytic activation of H2 is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molybdenum and tungsten-dependent formate dehydrogenases
TL;DR: This review will highlight the present knowledge about the diverse physiological roles of FDH in prokaryotes, their modular structural organisation and active site structures and the mechanistic strategies followed to accomplish the formate oxidation.
