Life relies on the constant exchange of different forms of energy, ie, on energy transduction.
Therefore, organisms have evolved in a way to be able to harvest the energy made …

Sulphate-reducing organisms are widespread in anaerobic enviroments, including the
gastrointestinal tract of man and other animals. The study of these bacteria has attracted …

A unique characteristic in the prokaryotic world is the multiplicity of life strategies without any
involvement of oxygen. Actually, life in anoxic habitats is prokaryotic to a large extent …

The utilization of optical biosensors to study molecular interactions continues to expand. In
1998, 384 articles relating to the use of commercial biosensors were published in 130 …

Reduction of trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) in Escherichia coli involves the terminal
molybdoreductase TorA, located in the periplasm, and the membrane anchored c type …

The electrochemistry of membrane-bound [NiFe] hydrogenase I ([NiFe]-hase I) from the
hyperthermophilic bacterium Aquifex aeolicus was investigated at gold and graphite …

Heme is one of the most pervasive cofactors in nature and the c-type cytochromes represent
one of the largest families of heme-containing proteins. Recent progress in bacterial …

Cytochrome c 3 isolated from a sulfate-reducing bacterium, Desulfovibrio vulgaris Miyazaki
F, is a tetraheme protein. Its physiological partner,[NiFe] hydrogenase, catalyzes the …

A central step in the energy metabolism of sulfate-reducing bacteria is the oxidation of
molecular hydrogen, catalyzed by a periplasmic hydrogenase. The resulting electrons are …

Factors determining conformations of imidazole axially coordinated to heme in heme
proteins were investigated by analyzing 693 hemes in 432 different crystal structures of …
