Antibacterial agents are very important in the textile industry, water disinfection, medicine,
and food packaging. Organic compounds used for disinfection have some disadvantages …

NO emissions from soils and ecosystems are of outstanding importance for atmospheric
chemistry. Here we review the current knowledge on processes involved in the formation …

The role of nitrate reduction to produce nitric oxide (NO) and its subsequent oxidation by
oxyhaemoglobin as a mechanism to maintain plant cell energetics during hypoxia is …

Nitric oxide is not only an obligatory intermediate in denitrification, but also a signalling and
defence molecule of major importance. However, the basis of resistance to NO and RNS …

Microbial flavohemoglobins (flavoHbs) and hemoglobins (Hbs) show large NO
dioxygenation rate constants ranging from 745 to 2900 μM− 1s− 1 suggesting a primal NO …

In response to oxygen limitation or oxidative and nitrosative stress, bacteria express three
kinds of hemoglobin proteins: truncated hemoglobins (tr Hbs), hemoglobins (Hbs) and …

Intracellular pathogens must resist the antimicrobial actions of nitric oxide (NO·) produced by
host cells. To this end pathogens possess several NO·-metabolizing enzymes. Here we …

The advent of recombinant DNA technology has revolutionized the strategies for protein
production. Due to the well-characterized genome and a variety of mature tools available for …

The rapidly evolving crisis of antibiotic resistance among microorganisms has contributed to
the rise of patient morbidity and mortality from nosocomial and community-acquired …

Genomics has produced hundreds of new hemoglobin sequences with examples in nearly
every living organism. Structural and biochemical characterizations of many recombinant …
