Resolution of Key Roles for the Distal Pocket Histidine in Cytochrome c Nitrite Reductases [PDF]
, 2015 Cytochrome c nitrite reductases perform a key step in the biogeochemical N-cycle by catalyzing the six-electron reduction of nitrite to ammonium. These multi-heme cytochromes contain a number of His/His ligated c-hemes for electron transfer and a ...

Characterization of the active site and calcium binding in cytochromecnitrite reductases [PDF]
, 2011 The decahaem homodimeric cytochrome c nitrite reductase (NrfA) is expressed within the periplasm of a wide range of Gamma-, Delta- and Epsilon-proteobacteria and is responsible for the six-electron reduction of nitrite to ammonia.

Nitrite accumulation during storage of tomato fruit as prevented by hydrogen gas
International Journal of Food Properties, 2019 The adverse effects of intake nitrite upon human health are well known. However, eating fruits and vegetables is one of the main pathways to absorb nitrite because of nitrogen assimilation in plants.

An investigation into the unusual linkage isomerization and nitrite reduction activity of a novel tris(2-pyridyl) copper complex [PDF]
, 2017 The copper-containing nitrite reductases (CuNIRs) are a class of enzymes that mediate the reduction of nitrite to nitric oxide in biological systems. Metal–ligand complexes that reproduce the salient features of the active site of CuNIRs are therefore of

Anti-oxidant effect of nitrite in the pancreatic islets of type 2 diabetic male rats [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Basic Medical Sciences, 2023 Objective(s): Nitrite, a nitric oxide (NO) donor, increases insulin secretion from pancreatic islets and has positive metabolic effects in type 2 diabetes (T2D). Here, we test the hypothesis of whether nitrite-induced insulin secretion is due to blunting
