Research Abstract |
For the biological and environmental importance, there have been many reports on Cu-containing nitrite reductases (NIRs), which are trimers containing two copper ions in each monomer. We have recently found new hexameric and trimeric NIRs having an extra domain at the N- and C-terminus, respectively. In this project, the structure-function relationships of the new NIRs from a propionibacterium and a marine psychrophilic bacterium have been studied.
