The genetic basis of energy conservation in the sulfate-reducing bacterium Desulfovibrio alaskensis G20. [PDF]
, 2014 Sulfate-reducing bacteria play major roles in the global carbon and sulfur cycles, but it remains unclear how reducing sulfate yields energy. To determine the genetic basis of energy conservation, we measured the fitness of thousands of pooled mutants of

Binuclear Manganese(III) Complexes as Electron Donors in D1/D2/Cytochrome b559 Preparations Isolated from Spinach Photosystem II Membrane Fragments [PDF]
, 1994 The capability of different manganese complexes to act as PS II electron donors in D1/D2/ cytochrome b 559 complexes has been analyzed by measuring actinic light-induced absorption changes at 680 nm (650 nm) and 340 nm, reflecting the photoaccumulation ...

The Plant–Type Ferredoxin-NADP+ Reductases [PDF]
, 2012 Ferredoxin-NADP+ reductases (FNRs, EC 1.18.1.2) constitute a family of hydrophilic, monomeric enzymes that contain non-covalently bound FAD as prosthetic group. These flavoenzymes deliver NADPH or low potential one-electron donors (ferredoxin, flavodoxin, adrenodoxin) to redox-based metabolisms in plastids, mitochondria and bacteria.

Molecular Catalysis in “Green” Hydrogen Production
Frontiers in Catalysis, 2022 Molecular hydrogen (H2) is considered an ideal energy vector and a clean fuel, due to its zero-carbon combustion. Nevertheless, despite hydrogen is the most and one of the most abundant elements in the universe and in earth crust, respectively, it is ...

Electron transport phosphorylation in rumen butyrivibrios: unprecedented ATP yield for glucose fermentation to butyrate. [PDF]
, 2015 From a genomic analysis of rumen butyrivibrios (Butyrivibrio and Pseudobutyrivibrio sp.), we have re-evaluated the contribution of electron transport phosphorylation (ETP) to ATP formation in this group.

Structural features of halophilicity derived from the crystal structure of dihydrofolate reductase from the Dead Sea halophilic archaeon, Haloferax volcanii [PDF]
, 1982 Background: The proteins of halophilic archaea require high salt concentrations both for stability and for activity, whereas they denature at low ionic strength. The structural basis for this phenomenon is not yet well understood.
