Metalloproteins in the Biology of Heterocysts [PDF]
Life, 2019 Cyanobacteria are photoautotrophic microorganisms present in almost all ecologically niches on Earth. They exist as single-cell or filamentous forms and the latter often contain specialized cells for N2 fixation known as heterocysts.

Changing paradigms for the micronutrient zinc, a known protein cofactor, as a signal relaying also cellular redox state [PDF]
Quantitative Plant BiologyThe micronutrient zinc (Zn) is often poorly available but toxic when present in excess, so a tightly controlled Zn homoeostasis network operates in all organisms. This review summarizes our present understanding of plant Zn homoeostasis.

Structure and Catalytic Mechanism of Radical SAM Methylases
Life, 2022 Methyl transfer is essential in myriad biological pathways found across all domains of life. Unlike conventional methyltransferases that catalyze this reaction through nucleophilic substitution, many members of the radical S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM ...

Oxygen-Sensitive Metalloprotein Structure Determination by Cryo-Electron Microscopy
Biomolecules, 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 ...
