1. To metal, or not to metal : Diverse mechanisms of O2-activation and radical storage in the ferritin superfamily
Abstract : Proteins in the Ferritin-like superfamily are characterized by a four alpha-helical structural motif. These proteins are distributed across all three kingdoms of life and perform a wide range of functions. READ MORE

2. Folding and Structure of Azurin - The Influence of a Metal
Abstract : The structural role of the metal in the protein azurin from Pseudomonas aeruginosa has been a long standing question. Azurin belongs to the cupredoxin family and is a 128 residue beta-barrel protein of greek-key topology. READ MORE

3. Assembly and Function of Nitric Oxide Reductase from Paracoccus denitrificans
Abstract : Bacterial denitrification is a part of the global nitrogen cycle and comprises the stepwise reduction of nitrate to molecular nitrogen, which is released to the atmosphere. Cytochrome c-dependent nitric oxide reductase (cNOR) from Paracoccus (P.) denitrificans catalyzes the reduction of nitric oxide to nitrous oxide and water. READ MORE

4. Human copper ion transfer : from metal chaperone to target transporter domain
Abstract : Many processes in living systems occur through transient interactions among proteins. Those interactions are often weak and are driven by small changes in free energy. READ MORE

5. Activation and inhibition of diiron and iron-manganese ribonucleotide reductases
Abstract : Ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) catalyses the reduction of ribonucleotides to deoxyribonucleotides. In conventional class I RNRs the active site is located in the R1 subunit, and the R2 subunit contains a diiron cofactor and a stable tyrosyl radical essential for activity. READ MORE
