Crystal Structure of the Xanthine Oxidase-Related Aldehyde Oxido-Reductase from D. gigas

TL;DR: The crystal structure of the aldehyde oxido-reductase (Mop) from the sulfate reducing anaerobic Gram-negative bacterium Desulfovibrio gigas has been determined at 2.25 Å resolution by multiple isomorphous replacement and refined.
Journal ArticleDOI

Crystal structure of the first dissimilatory nitrate reductase at 1.9 A solved by MAD methods.

TL;DR: The polypeptide fold of NAP and the arrangement of the cofactors is related to that of Escherichia coli formate dehydrogenase (FDH) and distantly resembles dimethylsulphoxide reductase.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cellulosome assembly revealed by the crystal structure of the cohesin–dockerin complex

TL;DR: The structure provides an explanation for the lack of cross-species recognition between cohesin–dockerin pairs and thus provides a blueprint for the rational design, construction, and exploitation of these catalytic assemblies.
Journal ArticleDOI

A structure-based catalytic mechanism for the xanthine oxidase family of molybdenum enzymes

TL;DR: The crystal structure of the xanthine oxidase-related molybdenum-iron protein aldehyde oxido-reductase from the sulfate reducing anaerobic Gram-negative bacterium Desulfovibrio gigas (Mop) was analyzed in its desulfo-, sulfo-, oxidized, reduced, and alcohol-bound forms at 1.8-A resolution as mentioned in this paper.
