Molecular Details on Multiple Cofactor Containing Redox Metalloproteins Revealed by Infrared and Resonance Raman Spectroscopies

open access: yesMolecules, 2021
Vibrational spectroscopy and in particular, resonance Raman (RR) spectroscopy, can provide molecular details on metalloproteins containing multiple cofactors, which are often challenging for other spectroscopies.

Predicting copper-, iron- and zinc-binding proteins in pathogenic species of the Paracoccidioides genus

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2015
Approximately one-third of all proteins have been estimated to contain at least one metal cofactor, and these proteins are referred to as metalloproteins.

The ins and outs of metal homeostasis by the root nodule actinobacterium Frankia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Background: Frankia are actinobacteria that form a symbiotic nitrogen-fixing association with actinorhizal plants, and play a significant role in actinorhizal plant colonization of metal contaminated areas.

Bioinformatic Mapping of Opine-Like Zincophore Biosynthesis in Bacteria

open access: yesmSystems, 2020
Zinc is an essential nutrient in biological systems due to its structural or catalytic requirement in proteins involved in diverse cellular processes. To meet this cellular demand, microbes must acquire sufficient zinc from their environment.

In Silico Simulations Reveal Molecular Mechanism of Uranyl Ion Toxicity towards DNA-Binding Domain of PARP-1 Protein

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2023
The molecular toxicity of the uranyl ion (UO22+) in living cells is primarily determined by its high affinity to both native and potential metal-binding sites that commonly occur in the structure of biomolecules.

X-ray microtomographic visualization of Escherichia coli by metalloprotein overexpression [PDF]

open access: yesJ.Synchrotron Radiat. 20 (2013) 581-586, 2016
This paper reports X-ray microtomographic visualization of the microorganism Escherichia coli overexpressing a metalloprotein ferritin. The three-dimensional distribution of linear absorption coefficients determined using a synchrotron radiation microtomograph with a simple projection geometry revealed that the X-ray absorption was homogeneously ...

Assessing the prospect of XAFS experiments of metalloproteins under in vivo conditions at Indus-2 synchrotron facility, India

open access: yesJournal of Synchrotron Radiation, 2023
The feasibility of X-ray absorption fine-structure (XAFS) experiments of ultra-dilute metalloproteins under in vivo conditions (T = 300 K, pH = 7) at the BL-9 bending-magnet beamline (Indus-2) is reported, using as an example analogous synthetic Zn (0.1 ...

How Theoretical Evaluations Can Generate Guidelines for Designing/Engineering Metalloproteins with Desired Metal Affinity and Selectivity

open access: yesMolecules, 2022
Almost half of all known proteins contain metal co-factors. Crucial for the flawless performance of a metalloprotein is the selection with high fidelity of the cognate metal cation from the surrounding biological fluids.
