Journal ArticleDOI

Radical S-Adenosylmethionine Enzymes

TL;DR: This Review will begin by summarizing unifying features of radical SAM enzymes, and in subsequent sections delve further into the biochemical, spectroscopic, structural, and mechanistic details for those enzymes that catalyze an amazingly diverse set of reactions.
Journal ArticleDOI

[FeFe]- and [NiFe]-hydrogenase diversity, mechanism, and maturation

TL;DR: These mechanisms represent two independent solutions to the formation of complex bioinorganic active sites for catalyzing the simplest of chemical reactions, reversible hydrogen oxidation, and are arguably the most profound case of convergent evolution.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stepwise [FeFe]-hydrogenase H-cluster assembly revealed in the structure of HydA(DeltaEFG).

TL;DR: In this article, the X-ray crystal structure of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii HydA was solved, revealing the stepwise manner by which the H-cluster is synthesized, and offering insight into how HydA might have evolved.
Journal ArticleDOI

Insights into [FeFe]-Hydrogenase Structure, Mechanism, and Maturation

TL;DR: This review highlights the unique structural features of hydrogenases and emphasizes the recent biochemical and structural work that has created a clearer picture of the [FeFe]-hydrogenase maturation pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structural basis for glycyl radical formation by pyruvate formate-lyase activating enzyme.

TL;DR: Structures of the substrate-free and substrate-bound forms of pyruvate formate-lyase-activating enzyme, the first structures of an AdoMet radical activase, are reported, providing fundamental insights into the interactions between the activase and the G734 loop ofPyruvates.
