Journal ArticleDOI

The structure and mechanism of iron-hydrogenases

TL;DR: Mechanisms of H2 activation and electron transfer are proposed to explain the effects of CO binding and the ability of one of the hydrogenases to preferentially catalyze H2 oxidation and H2 production.
Journal ArticleDOI

High-fidelity amplification using a thermostable DNA polymerase isolated from Pyrococcus furiosus

TL;DR: These studies demonstrate that the error rate per nucleotide induced in the 182 known detectable sites of the lacI gene was 1.6 x 10(-6) for Pfu DNA polymerase, a greater than tenfold improvement over the 2.0 x 10 (-5) error rate for Taq DNA polymerases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Robust, high-throughput solution structural analyses by small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS)

TL;DR: The SAXS pipeline combines automated sample handling of microliter volumes, temperature and anaerobic control, rapid data collection and data analysis, and couples structural analysis with automated archiving to create an efficient pipeline enabling high-throughput analysis of protein structure in solution with small angle X-ray scattering.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structure of a hyperthermophilic tungstopterin enzyme, aldehyde ferredoxin oxidoreductase

TL;DR: The crystal structure of the tungsten-containing aldehyde ferredoxin oxidoreductase (AOR) from Pyrococcus furiosus, a hyperthermophilic archaeon that grows optimally at 100 degrees C, has been determined at 2.3 angstrom resolution by means of multiple isomorphous replacement and multiple crystal form averaging.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Iron-Hydrogenase of Thermotoga maritima Utilizes Ferredoxin and NADH Synergistically: a New Perspective on Anaerobic Hydrogen Production

TL;DR: The discovery of the bifurcating hydrogenase gives a new perspective on the understanding of the bioenergetics and mechanism of H(2) production and of anaerobic metabolism in general.
