The active form of quinol-dependent nitric oxide reductase from Neisseria meningitidis is a dimer
Neisseria meningitidis is carried by nearly a billion humans, causing developmental impairment and over 100 000 deaths a year. A quinol-dependent nitric oxide reductase (qNOR) plays a critical role in the survival of the bacterium in the human host.

Genetic and biochemical characterization of a novel metallo-beta-lactamase, TMB-1, from an Achromobacter xylosoxidans strain isolated in Tripoli, Libya [PDF]
An Achromobacter xylosoxidans strain from the Tripoli central hospital produced a unique metallo-β-lactamase, designated TMB-1, which is related to DIM-1 (62%) and GIM-1 (51%). bla was embedded in a class 1 integron and located on the chromosome. The TMB-

3D domain swapping of azurin fromAlcaligenes xylosoxidans
AbstractProtein oligomers have gained interest, owing to their increased knowledge in cells and promising utilization for future materials. Various proteins have been shown to 3D domain swap, but there has been no domain swapping report on a blue copper protein. Here, we found that azurin from Alcaligenes xylosoxidans oligomerizes by the procedure of 2,

A high-throughput screening method for determining the substrate scope of nitrilases [PDF]
Nitrile compounds are intermediates in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals such as atorvastatin. We have developed a chromogenic reagent to screen for nitrilase activity as an alternative to Nessler's reagent. It produces a semi-quantifiable blue colour and
