چکیده
The three-dimensional X-ray structures of the oxidized and reduced forms of rubredoxin from Pyrococcus furiosus, determined at -161 "C, and the NMR structure of the zinc-substituted protein, determined in solution at 45 "C, are compared. The NMR and X-ray structures, which were determined independently, are very similar and lead to similar conclusions regarding the interactions that confer hyperthermostability.

Comparison of the X-ray structure of native rubredoxin from Pyrococcus furiosus with the NMR structure of the zinc-substituted protein.
The three-dimensional X-ray structures of the oxidized and reduced forms of rubredoxin from Pyrococcus furiosus, determined at -161 degrees C, and the NMR structure of the zinc-substituted protein, determined in solution at 45 degrees C, are compared.

متن کاملNuclear resonance vibrational spectroscopy (NRVS) of rubredoxin and MoFe protein crystals.
We have applied 57Fe nuclear resonance vibrational spectroscopy (NRVS) for the first time to study the dynamics of Fe centers in Fe-S protein crystals, including oxidized wild type rubredoxin crystals from Pyrococcus furiosus, and the MoFe protein of nitrogenase from Azotobacter vinelandii. Thanks to the NRVS selection rule, selectively probed vibrational modes have been observed in both orient...
متن کاملThe Key to the Extraordinary Thermal Stability of P. furiosus Holo-Rubredoxin: Iron Binding-Guided Packing of a Core Aromatic Cluster Responsible for High Kinetic Stability of the Native Structure
Pyrococcus furiosus rubredoxin (PfRd), a small, monomeric, 53 residues-long, iron-containing, electron-transfer protein of known structure is sometimes referred to as being the most structurally-stable protein known to man. Here, using a combination of mutational and spectroscopic (CD, fluorescence, and NMR) studies of differently made holo- and apo-forms of PfRd, we demonstrate that it is not ...
متن کاملCo-precipitation Synthesis of Zinc Oxide (ZnO) Nanoparticles by Zinc Nitrate Precursor
Nanostructured zinc oxide (ZnO) materials have received considerable interest from scientists due to their remarkable performance in electronics, optics and photonics. ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized by co-precipitation method. ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized using Zn(NO3)3 and K2CO3 precursors. The structure of the obtained product was confirmed by the powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) anal...
متن کاملA comparison study on corrosion behavior of zinc phosphate and potassium zinc phosphate anticorrosive pigments
In this article, the effect of potassium on structure and anticorrosion properties of zinc phosphate pigments has been investigated. The co-precipitation method was selected as synthesis method of potassium zinc phosphate pigment. Then the synthesized pigment was characterized by x-ray diffraction XRD, Fourier transform infrared FTIR and Raman spectroscopy. Morphology of the powders was investi...
