STRUCTURE OF NITRITE BOUND TO REDUCED ALCALIGENES FAECALIS NITRITE REDUCTASE AT CRYO TEMPERATURE
OverviewOverview
The structures of oxidized, reduced, nitrite-soaked oxidized and, nitrite-soaked reduced nitrite reductase from Alcaligenes faecalis have, been determined at 1.8-2.0 A resolution using data collected at -160, degrees C. The active site at cryogenic temperature, as at room, temperature, contains a tetrahedral type II copper site liganded by three, histidines and a water molecule. The solvent site is empty when crystals, are reduced with ascorbate. A fully occupied oxygen-coordinate nitrite, occupies the solvent site in crystals soaked in nitrite. Ascorbate-reduced, crystals soaked in a glycerol-methanol solution and nitrite at -40 degrees, C remain colorless at -160 degrees C but turn amber-brown when warmed, suggesting that NO is released. Nitrite is found at one-half occupancy., Five new ... [(full description)]
