Great metalloclusters in enzymology [PDF]
, 2002 Metallocluster-containing enzymes catalyze some of the most basic redox transformations in the biosphere. The reactions catalyzed by these enzymes typically involve small molecules such as N2, CO, and H2 that are used to generate both chemical building ...

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

Crystal structures of the NO sensor NsrR reveal how its iron-sulfur cluster modulates DNA binding
Nature Communications, 2017 NsrR is a bacterial transcriptional regulator that acts as a nitric oxide (NO) sensor. Here, the authors present the crystal structure of NsrR, which reveals an unusual Fe-S cluster coordination and explains how NO exposure leads to the degradation of ...

From Zn to Mn: the study of novel manganese-binding groups in the search for new drugs against tuberculosis. [PDF]
, 2011 In most eubacteria, apicomplexans, and most plants, including the causal agents for diseases such as malaria, leprosy, and tuberculosis, the methylerythritol phosphate pathway is the route for the biosynthesis of the C(5) precursors to the essential ...

Nitrene Transfer Catalyzed by a Non-Heme Iron Enzyme and Enhanced by Non-Native Small-Molecule Cofactors [PDF]
, 2019 Transition-metal catalysis is a powerful tool for the construction of chemical bonds. Here we show that a non-heme iron enzyme can catalyze olefin aziridination and nitrene C–H insertion, and that these activities can be improved by directed evolution ...

The Binding Mode of the Sonic Hedgehog Inhibitor Robotnikinin, a Combined Docking and QM/MM MD Study
Frontiers in Chemistry, 2017 Erroneous activation of the Hedgehog pathway has been linked to a great amount of cancerous diseases and therefore a large number of studies aiming at its inhibition have been carried out. One leverage point for novel therapeutic strategies targeting the

Reactions of HNO with Metal Porphyrins: Underscoring the Biological Relevance of HNO [PDF]
, 2014 Azanone (1 HNO, nitroxyl) shows interesting yet poorly understood chemical and biological effects. HNO has some overlapping properties with nitric oxide (NO), sharing its biological reactivity toward heme proteins, thiols, and oxygen.
