Structural highlights
1jfc is a 1 chain structure with sequence from Fusarium oxysporum. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
NOR_FUSOX Nitric oxide reductase which is involved in a dissimilatory reduction of nitrite. Acts as a nitric oxide reductase. Is able to reduce nitrate and nitrite to a gaseous form of N(2)O when oxygen supply is limited or discontinued. May function as a detoxification mechanism.[1][2]
