Nitric oxide biosensor uncovers diminished ferrous iron-dependency of cultured cells adapted to physiological oxygen levels

open access: yesRedox Biology, 2022
Iron is an essential metal for cellular metabolism and signaling, but it has adverse effects in excess. The physiological consequences of iron deficiency are well established, yet the relationship between iron supplementation and pericellular oxygen ...

Metalloprotein-Catalyzed Click Reaction for In Situ Generation of a Potent Inhibitor

open access: yes, 2020
In situ click chemistry has great potential for identifying enzyme inhibitors. However, conventional in situ click chemistry provides extremely low yields of the products, making it incompatible with direct activity-based assays.

Metalloprotein Crystallography: More than a Structure [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Metal ions and metallocofactors play important roles in a broad range of biochemical reactions. Accordingly, it has been estimated that as much as 25–50% of the proteome uses transition metal ions to carry out a variety of essential functions.

Oxygen-Sensitive Metalloprotein Structure Determination by Cryo-Electron Microscopy

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2022
Metalloproteins are involved in key cell processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, and oxygen transport. However, the presence of transition metals (notably iron as a component of [Fe-S] clusters) often makes these proteins sensitive to oxygen ...

The Fe Protein: An Unsung Hero of Nitrogenase

open access: yesInorganics, 2018
Although the nitrogen-fixing enzyme nitrogenase critically requires both a reductase component (Fe protein) and a catalytic component, considerably more work has focused on the latter species.

Enzyme‐Like Synthetic Cleft for Light‐Driven Water‐Oxidation Catalysis Via an Oxide Relay Pathway

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A carboxylic acid group introduced into the second coordination sphere of a Ru(bda) water oxidation catalyst forms a defined hydrogen bond within the catalytic cleft. This interaction locks the group in place and enables an intramolecular oxide relay pathway between Ru(V)═O and the carboxylate group, providing a distinct and efficient route for O─O ...

Oxygen‐Tolerant Photo‐Induced Miniaturized Accelerated Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization (OPTIMA‐ATRP) for High‐Throughput Synthesis of Polymer Bioconjugates

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Oxygen‐tolerant photo‐induced miniaturized accelerated atom transfer radical polymerization (OPTIMA‐ATRP) in water was developed for the polymerization of hydrophilic (meth)acrylate monomers under ambient or sub‐ambient (4°C) temperature and atmospheric conditions, without prior degassing, in less than 10 min, at an ultra‐small scale (< 50 µL) in ...

Finding High-Quality Metal Ion-Centric Regions Across the Worldwide Protein Data Bank

open access: yesMolecules, 2019
As the number of macromolecular structures in the worldwide Protein Data Bank (wwPDB) continues to grow rapidly, more attention is being paid to the quality of its data, especially for use in aggregated structural and dynamics analyses. In this study, we

Functional analysis of the citrate activator CitO from Enterococcus faecalis implicates a divalent metal in ligand binding

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2016
The regulator of citrate metabolism, CitO, from Enterococcus faecalis belongs to the FCD family within the GntR superfamily. In the presence of citrate, CitO binds to cis-acting sequences located upstream of the cit promoters inducing the expression of ...
