Nitrogenase FeMoco investigated by spatially resolved anomalous dispersion refinement.
The [Mo:7Fe:9S:C] iron-molybdenum cofactor (FeMoco) of nitrogenase is the largest known metal cluster and catalyses the 6-electron reduction of dinitrogen to ammonium in biological nitrogen fixation. Only recently its atomic structure was clarified, while its reactivity and electronic structure remain under debate. Here we show that for its resting S=3/2 state the common iron oxidation state as...
متن کاملSpatially Resolved Anomalous Kinetics of a Catalytic Reaction: Enzymatic Glucose Oxidation in Capillary Spaces
A reaction involving the catalytic oxidation of glucose by the enzyme glucose oxidase is employed as a first spatially resolved experimental realization of a nonclassical A + C f C + Products chemical reaction. This heterogeneous kinetics experiment models the operation of optical glucose sensors. One-dimensional nonclassical reaction kinetics, manifested in anomalous rate laws, are observed. T...
متن کاملMetalloprotein Crystallography: More than a Structure
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. The metal ions incorporated within metalloproteins fulfill functional roles based on chemical properties, the diversity of which arises as transition met...
متن کاملThe spatially resolved refractometer.
PURPOSE To investigate factors controlling the aberrations of the eye, including accommodation, wavelength, and the apodization of the optics of the eye by cone directional selectivity. METHODS We constructed a new implementation of the Spatially Resolved Refractometer (SRR). This is an instrument, based on the Scheiner principle, that allows the rapid psychophysical measurement of the comple...
متن کاملAnalysis of the HindIII-catalyzed reaction by time-resolved crystallography
In order to investigate the mechanism of the reaction catalyzed by HindIII, structures of HindIII-DNA complexes with varying durations of soaking time in cryoprotectant buffer containing manganese ions were determined by the freeze-trap method. In the crystal structures of the complexes obtained after soaking for a longer duration, two manganese ions, indicated by relatively higher electron den...
