Cytochrome c nitrite reductase: from structural to physicochemical analysis

Biochem Soc Trans. 2005 Feb;33(Pt 1):137-40. doi: 10.1042/BST0330137.

Abstract

The recent structural characterization of the NrfA from Escherichia coli provides a framework to rationalize the spectroscopic and functional properties of this enzyme. Analyses by EPR and magnetic CD spectroscopies have been complemented by protein-film voltammetry and these are discussed in relation to the essential structural features of the enzyme.
