Advanced Science, EarlyView.Cryo‐EM analysis reveals an asymmetric MMOH–MMOB complex with distinct protomers, where MMOB binding triggers structural rearrangements from the surface to the active site. This conformational asymmetry shortens the Fe···Fe distance to 2.7 Å in one protomer, forming a geometry suitable for O2 activation and supporting a sequential catalytic mechanism ...

The influence of lime sulphur on the quality and sulphur content of organic 'Royal Gala' and 'Braeburn' apples : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Philosophy in Agribusiness at Massey University [PDF]
, 2007 Black spot or apple scab is a major disease in apple (Malus domestica) production. Its control is especially difficult in organic production systems that rely on copper- and sulphur-based fungicides which are not very effective and demand a high number ...
