Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Geobacter sulfurreducens has been historically studied as iron- and electrode-reducing microorganism. G. sulfurreducens can transfer electrons from inside the cell to outside via various c-type cytochromes. Among the c-type cytochromes, OmcZ is essential for electron transfer to the electrode. In this study, OmcZ-overexpressing G. sulfurreducens was generated and OmcZ was purified by affinity chromatography by FPLC. Purified OmcZ was crystallized by sitting drop method. X-ray diffraction data at 3.4 angstrom were obtained.
