Structural and Functional Aspects of Metal Sites in Biology

TL;DR: The authors present here a classification and structure/function analysis of native metal sites based on these functions, and the coordination chemistry of metalloprotein sites and the unique properties of a protein as a ligand are briefly summarized.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.

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.

Fundamental Studies of Transition Metal Sulfide Hydrodesulfurization Catalysts

TL;DR: In this paper, it was found that Co, Ni, Mo, and W catalysts were the most active and least expensive of the transition metal sulfides and their mixtures.

Molybdenum sites of sulfite oxidase and xanthine dehydrogenase. A comparison by EXAFS

TL;DR: In this article, a new treatment of EXAFS amplitudes has been developed which allows the extraction of meaningful Debye-Waller factors using experimentally derived functions, and a search profile procedure has also been developed to aid in the treatment of minor exafS components.
