Metal Sensing by DNA
TL;DR: Each metal ion and the known DNA sequences for its sensing are reviewed and the fundamental aspect of metal binding is emphasized, emphasizing the distinct chemical property of each metal.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nitrate and periplasmic nitrate reductases
TL;DR: This review focuses on the features of periplasmic nitrate reductase where the catalytic subunit of the Nap and its kinetic properties, auxiliary Nap proteins, operon structure and phylogenetic relationships are discussed.

Single-Chain Nanoparticles as Catalytic Nanoreactors
Hannah Rothfuss,Hannah Rothfuss,Nicolai D. Knöfel,Peter W. Roesky,Peter W. Roesky,Christopher Barner-Kowollik,Christopher Barner-Kowollik +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a pathway mimics a metallo-enzyme's tertiary structure via the target placement of metal-ions in a tailor-made polymeric framework, resulting in catalytically active single-chain nanoparticles.

The Mononuclear Molybdenum Enzymes
TL;DR: It is now well-established that all molybdenum-containing enzymes other than nitrogenase fall into three large and mutually exclusive families, as exemplified by the enzymes xanthine oxidation, sulfite oxidase, and DMSO reductase; these enzymes represent the focus of the present account.

TL;DR: Ten strains representing a novel genus of marine thermophilic archaebacteria growing at between 70 and 103°C with an optimal growth temperature of 100°C and a doubling time of only 37 min were isolated from geothermally heated marine sediments at the beach of Porto di Levante, Vulcano, Italy.
